There’s No Place Like Home
Click, Click – her heels smack together as she prays for a way out of this mess. If only she and her little dog toto could jump on their basket bike and ride off into the sunset.
don’t let me down…
This piece was inspired by the striking look on the woman’s face and her particularly strange environment (sitting backwards on the stool on top of the block platform). I’m totally attracted to her strange-ness and wanted to make her into a drawing. She looks as if she has expectations and has lost a little faith in someone. Have you ever felt like you have an attraction to a picture like this because somehow it reminds you of parts or pieces of your life in history? I do and that is what makes it special to me. Enjoy. :)
Boing~!
I find that fashion magazines are quite far from real life that I live. The pictures and ads are truly opposite of reality for me yet these pictures invade my mailbox and interact with me physically. I like to pick out pages here and there that speak to me aesthetically and use them as backdrops for my life story. I like the idea of manipulating the “image” within the image to make it mine. These drawings are a short story that I can relate to, something that pleases me…movement, energy, geometry, negative/positive space, angles, shapes, stop-motion, symmetry, humor…

Great Weekend, Condo Update, Studio Space ;)
Hello!
Bobby and I (and Kurty) had a great time I had this weekend with Mom + Dad Fiocca! They were literally only here for 1 day but it was really nice to see them and hang out. They stayed in a corner suite at the Dana Hotel and Spa looking down State Street with floor to ceiling windows…it was pretty cool (more pictures here). We spent the day walking around the area and eating good food. We came back to the hotel in the afternoon and watched a movie. haha. It was really fun and I’m so glad we spent time relaxing and hanging out because that’s exactly what I was hoping for. :)
The photo to the right is us standing on the bridge near our new condo building on Saturday. We took a cab over there to show my parents and they were really excited to see it. I almost forgot how excited I was 2 months ago when they pushed back our closing…but since we went back I’m super excited again. :) We are literally a week away from new closing date. WOO HOO. Lets see if we really get to close this time! ha! Continue Reading →
