More watercolorings & an interesting
Blog. I'm impressed!



This one's my favorite.

Serena Cole

Watercolor is my favorite medium. I learn something new every time I paint, find new tricks, different ways to pull it up, move it around, let it work with itself. It's versatile and challenging & even though I know I should try to play more with other mediums, I'm pretty sure it will stay my favorite until I put down the brush for good.

Because I'm such a fan of all things watercolor, I get particularly excited when I come across other artists who share my feeling for the medium.

Here's a great one.

Just paper, that's all!

I was browsing illustrationmundo.com

today and came across Simon Shubert's

quietly intense folded paper illustrations. What's going on here?? Really, how's this man doing this? I'm very curious.





After looking through Simon's work, I decided to check up on an old favorite, Peter Calleson, his work was amazing as always. If you give me a piece of paper I might fold it into an semi good looking origami frog but, I don't think I could even begin to process creating these incredible folded masterpieces.

More Goodies!

"For colored girls" Tissues, T's & notebooks!

Violet With Admiration...

I stumbled across Iain Macarthur's work today while doing some research. I'm so glad I did, my mind's running all over the place. I'm completely inspired and longing to figure out how to actualize an idea that's been buzzing around in my head for a while. I'll definitely have more to say about this later, but for now I'm going to stop typing because the work really speaks for itself.

Constant Source of Inspiration.

Please allow me one moment to brag about my father, Aurelio Bolognesi, the coolest guy I know. He and my mother have been a consistent source of inspiration throughout my life. In the past few years, my father has really dove in, head first, into his major passion, furniture designing and crafting. He constantly amazes me with his work, reaching new levels of creativity and craftsmanship with each piece he creates.

Post Apocolyptic Bombshell.

I'm a big fan of Ashley Wood's work. Particularly his angular compositions, distorted proportions and wisely muted palette. Then of course, there's the sneaky robots and hot girls...





Sometimes his work feels strangely reminiscent of Egon Schiele's. You won't hear me complain about that.

The Madness Behind the MONSTER.

Took some behind the scenes snaps of the artwork & creative decorations being put together in preparation for the Monster Mash tonight at Factory Studios. Everyone that can should try to make it through.

Here's the woman behind the madness, Debbie and her 8 ft tall zombie hand.
Another friendly face at the setup, Greg AKA Mister Never.

Debbie stitched all these letters by hand!

The always lovely and very talented Ms. Adrienne Dowd.




Debbie's pieces, she also plans to dress as zombie Minnie. looking forward to seeing it all together.

Steve & Dana's pieces for the show. Steve just got back from a month long Artist's residency. Can't wait to see all the work he created.

What's on the drying rack tonight?

Tactile Treasures

I'm working on an embroidery project right now and in doing research, stumbled upon these wildly detailed, hand embroidered quilts by Anna Torma. They're keeping my brain moving on this weary Monday.
