State Park Saturday
A long hike on a long trail is always a good thing. Especially when the weather is optimal. Clinton State Park, May 3, 2014.
Art in the Park TODAY!
Sunday, May 4, 2014, at South Park in Lawrence, KS. It’s gonna be a beautiful day!
May Day, Keeping it simple, keeping it real
My dinner tonight = sautéed portobello mushrooms and spinach in worcestershire and honey with avocado. I’m sorta a foodie. I’ve been trying to perfect 10 minute dinners with simple ingredients. This was delicious. I try to cook something simple every night, but I’m definitely a fan of elaborate dinners with several courses.. After owning a restaurant, I’ve decided that I couldn’t find enjoyment in cooking for people for pay.. however, I do enjoy cooking for my friends and family. I wish I could do it more often. Anyway…
I’ve been exceptionally absent from my blog. I’ve been working on a couple concert posters, plus some illustration work for a 4 page spread for a magazine (coming out in december). I’m also looking at the start of art fair season within just a couple days, so the printers have been printing full speed. Prints are being matted, cards are being bagged, buttons are being buttoned.. How the year has flown by.. I’ve also been running a lot more – its so good to be out in this spring weather, and when I find myself surrounded by trees and fields, its hard to turn around and run back home. I saw a fox the other day while running, and a bald eagle flew peculiarly close to my head.
Anyway, sometimes I need to stop and sautee the spinach. Or smell the flowers? Happy May Day. It’s good to be here.

Weekend Stuff
I spent my Saturday attempting to paddle in the wind — total fail — and hiking around the woods of Clinton Lake with a few of my chums. It’s always good to disconnect with daily life and reconnect with the outdoors and friends. 
Paddle Trip on the Kaw
It was a fine day for a paddle trip down the Kansas River with two of my favorite peeps. First kayak outing this year, and it was a great one…
A Few Exhibit Pics
I had an amazingly fun weekend in Omaha with some of my favorite friends and family. Thanks to the Omaha Public Library for hosting my art. This exhibit will run through April 27.
Working Zoetrope Prototype
A zoetrope is a traditional animation device that produces the illusion of motion from a rapid succession of static pictures (wikipedia: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Zoetrope). I’ve been working on this for awhile, trying to figure out what hardware to use to put it together, what would make it spin most easily.. I went through many purchases and almost as many returns before settling on a cardboard hat box on top of a plastic lazy susan. I spray painted both black, and modified a print of my paper cutting “Winter’s Reason” to become the images inside.
