a weekend without work

We're going to California in a couple of weeks. Sooo...look for photos of that soon. Also, pretty much all of our friends are going to be out of town for a month in Germany, so if you're around and my friend come over so I don't feel like I'm alone all the freaking time. And then there's the little thing I do called, "my work." Ya. Just so you know. It's pretty much kicking ass right now and I don't have time for anything else, like sleep, or working out, or anything, except that I had last weekend off. Completely. From Friday night all through Sunday.
I know.
Amazing.
Right?

So what did we do? Partied like only Science Heroes can! Actually. Science was in Salem on Friday playing a show and that meant I was home alone. All night. And then into the next day. Ya. Um. Did I ever mention how my neighbors are terrifying? Well. At night, it's worse, I know right? Who would of thought?

So. Friday night, home alone. I worked on my art space in the garage. Sooo...that, on Saturday I could paint! It was a tremendous, long awaited, glorious experience. I'm not done yet with any of the pieces. But, when I am I'll post some fancy photos for ya'll.

Saturday night...Heroic Science at WOW Hall.

It. Was. Epic.



More to come on all this.
tired. sleepy. want to get up early and...dare she say it?...go on a RUN...

science makes buttons

It's official. Cause the buttons have arrived, I can now be an official merch girl for Science Heroes of Terra Obscura. Now all we have to do is construct hero stickers and wearable science clothing. Then science fan frenzy at shows can be put to purchasing science paraphernalia.

Rise Up was mentioned in the following article. I'm just proud of my brother.

art is not a book, but...

I seem to be taking a break from reading, and writing, and have ventured into the little corner of our office that is my "art", well corner. I've been working on a few pieces over the last week and while some are still in beginning stages, a couple are done. Unfortunatly, I was in such a zone that my idea to photograph them in their beginning paint only stage didn't happen. But, I did paint first and collage on top. So here are two finished pieces.






I painted this a while back, but I haven't done anything else to it. I might keep it like this - or if the mood is right, I may add a few things here and there.



The one I'm working on is going to take some time, but I remembered to take "stage" photos for my first "big" project. So, if you care, be on the lookout for that.
