Too Long on the Other Side of the Looking Glass

Wow, time surely flies! I can't believe it has been so long since my last post. I have been so busy between commissions and my son starting college last week (the prices of textbooks are just mind boggling! O.o), but finally have some time to breathe.

This week I am featuring the art of Nicole West, whose works for me are pure eye candy! The detail and imagination she puts into each piece is just breathtaking. She does one of a kind polymer sculptures which she then sells on ebay. She has quite a following and when she finishes a piece it really goes fast into private collections. Her work can be found for sale on ebay by searching her name. Below are just a few samples of her beautiful works! More can be found in her Deviant Art gallery and/or her own site here.

And Now for Something Totally Different!!!!

I'm pretty busy working on commissions at the moment that I'm not at liberty to share for a while yet. So in the meantime I plan to do a series of blog posts about artist's whose work just wow's me! Keeping that in mind, if when reading these posts you have seen work that wow's you and would like to see it featured here, please feel free to point it out to me via your comments! Also, my strengths lie more in drawing and painting than writing, so please forgive the punctuation and grammatical errors that are sure to follow.

We've all had the experience of seeing something new and thinking "Man, why didn't I think of that!" This was the case when I happened across the wondrous works of Kristy Ilic, founder and CEO of Beetling Design. The term "Something totally different" really does apply here! She's a perfect example of an artist who had an inspired and innovative idea and ran with it! As a result, we all now have the delightful option of having lovely whimsical childrens' 3D wall decor that puts a quite literal spin on the often used designer term pops. Her company designs, manufactures and distributes unique first-of-its kind 3D wall decor for children's spaces. From bedrooms and playrooms to Doctor and Dentist waiting rooms, classrooms, libraries, daycares and pharmacies. Beetling three dimensional wall art is safe, hand crafted, easy to install (and reinstall) and because it is light weight it can be shipped world wide at low prices. Their decor is fun, fresh and alive, helping feed the imagination of children and the child in all of us. Hop over to their easy to navigate website and see just what I mean!

My Baby has Graduated!!

I have two beautiful children, a daughter 28, and a son 17. Just seems like yesterday they actually were babies, seriously. All those cliche´songs you hear about how fast the time passes are sadly true. My son just graduated last Thursday. I just had to post pics below. What differences!
