Hi all.... it's been a while since I posted in my blog and its another video about "Tthe  Big Picture"... I am trying some new editing software - Corel Video Studio…

I am a little frustrated with my paintings lately. I tend to have way too many ideas as I go along and my work ends up being well, sort of chaotic. I then spend WAY too much time trying to simplify back to a cohesive looking piece. My mind just seems so cluttered these days and i guess that is why this is happening. I am thinking maybe I need to do multiple paintings at once so as to put each idea into a single piece. Or maybe this is just the way I am as an artist right now. What do you…

I made some citrasolvd National Geographic pages today and came up with a way to make some cool origami business card cases.  If i can find my tripod, I'll try to do a video on how to make them!

Yet another link to another coolsome artist! I just had to share! I don't have the patience to create stuff as small, intricate and detailed such as the last few artworks I have provided y'all links to. However, I certainly do appreciate the artists that do. I find this kind of stuff amazing.

The other day I was looking through one of the books on my bookshelf - a book I haven't read for a couple of years - and as I thumbed through the pages a little scrap of a doodle fell out.  Apparently I had stuck it in between the pages as a bookmark. 

This falling scrap of a doodle several…

i stumbled on a really easy bubble technique with regular white glue [Elmer's]...simply drop blobs of glue onto the surface-- make them pretty deep--- after they are a little  dry-- simply take a heat gun and heat up the blobs-- they bubble up - -like the bubble paint technique--- they dont get quite as large but they turn out pretty cool-- u can see example in the painting called "untitled".. 

i think the bubble technique with the paint does produce a cooler effect but the glue works…

One can wake up in a quiet mood sometimes. Waking up to a day that is grey and raining. I have been busy for a while preparing for a spring craft fair in a village hall, just outside the city where I live.

You know how things take over, then one morning where everything seems quiet, thinking nothing in particular, perhaps thinking what to do next in a sort of half hearted way. I check my mail and find myself back here in LMM, looking at all the new faces and some of the folk that have…

Sometimes being a clown isn't all it's cracked up to be (no pun intended).  This little guy is sad.  Not sure why, but he certainly isn't enjoying his time at the big top! …

I am just really excited about screen printing at the moment and I have a tone of ideas and designs I want to create. The possibilities are endless, I am thinking t-shirts designs and limited edition cards. I was surfing the net as I always do when I am looking for inspiration and i randomly came across an awesome etsy site where this guy was creating his own limited edition prints using a combination of new and old screen printing techniques. He actually uses the light sensetive sheets.…

We have a new associate priest at church.  God Bless him but he is the most boring, negative, depressing speaker ever!  I know he's new and he will find his groove, but in the meantime, I have found myself using his sermon time as a time for reflection on my art work.  Two weeks…

Hello to everybody,

As you can see I'm new here and a little bit nervous to express myself and that because English is not my native language. So maybe now and than you will see a Spanish or even a Flemish word . I speak three languages every day and now and than I mix everything together. My Spanish…
