These are a few photos from my latest adventure. The landscapes were beautiful--every single one of them. Suggestion to all, if you have a smidgen of a chance to travel, do it! Look how pretty the world is!

It's really been THAT long since I last posted???

I've been out. I quit my job and moved out of my apartment a month early and jumped into a car that was driven all the way around the country. Currently, I am in North Carolina, with a plane ticket back to the Twin Cities in a couple of days. I'm sure I'll see a few of you while I'm back. Sadly, I do not have the means to post any of the art from this past month (yes, there actually was so me productivity!) but the artwork will be posted soon. As will the photos. In the meantime, enjoy this totally random poem that I wrote in a fit of boredom when I had a few days to myself in Montara Bay. It's not good...I've never said that I was a good poet, in fact, it may not even be a poem, but rather a list of things I saw that day. Whatever, it's all I have, so here it is:

From a while ago (it was on the fridge for some reason)

My new love has two wheels

Though I have been trying to keep this blog pretty "professional" (me "professional,"--I know, that's pretty funny...) by posting mostly art-related stuff, I felt the urge to do something totally "bloggy" and write about the new item in my life.

Meet: my new bike.

She's beautiful and blue, and my favorite part is that she has yellow--yes yellow! accents on the brake wire thingies. She's smooth and best of all, she fits me perfectly. Whoa whoa whoa guys! I know what you're thinking. I'm pretty "into" this girl. And yes. I can assure you that this is totally NOT a platonic relationship that we have going on here. I mean look at her! Could you seriously tell me that you could be "just friends" with a gal that looks like that!?! I highly doubt it.

The hand in the creation of this beauty was not my own, though (I know next to nothing about bikes...), and instead good old Mount Sass is responsible for this glorious creature. Thank you!!!
