My Bike!

HEY! This is my bike!



She used to look like THIS but now she doesn't.

I'm SO pumped on how it came out. I decided that I wanted flat black EVERYTHING. So I've been slowly painting my bike since last summer. The other day I did the final thing, I painted my rims. Its only spray paint for car detailing that I purchased at Auto Zone but it seems to be holding alright. Though I know it wont last forever. Im already aware that my brake is going to peel away the whole side wall but it what can you do? Eventually I'll be able to start saving money for actual black parts but this will suffice for now.

Im VERY excited to ride it CONSTANTLY. Living in the city is what I need. Living in Woonsocket didnt do much for me bikewise. Bike paths alone got boring and I only rode with Mark maybe, once. When your only close by friend works 50% of his life and sleeps the other 50% you can't get much done in the buddy system department. Now I'll be able to ride everyday and probably with friends! I'll save gas and get a good work out. ALL positive things!

Now all I need is a good sunny summer. Unlike last years rain fest, bummer summer 09! Worst!

See you on the streets!

Signs

This appeared in my tea a few days ago. I pulled out my tea bag after letting it steep and this is what I saw.


I dont think this is a fluke, I mean look at it! It has 2 symmetrical bubbles for eyes! They're both completely even and the same size! Since when do you ever see something with bubbles for eyes!? You cant MAKE stuff like this happen!


Im not one to believe in higher powers but Im having fun with this one. Things are changing for me at the moment. Theres still some time to elapse but in a month one thing in my life will be very different. There will be more on that to come since there are some feelings I will probably be wanting to express.

Im taking it as a positive, not only cause there is pretty much zero arguement you could possibly have with trying to say that this would be negative in any way but because I really feel good about everything thats happening. Lets hope that this is right!

Art Blog #3

Its been a while since I have done one of these. I guess that I could consider the fact that I havent purchased any art or anything since art blog #2. FIXED THAT!

Theres a story to go with this one, sort of. Some time last year a friend sent me a link to an art related website, I think, maybe I found it actually. I also dont remember what the topic we were speaking about was which even lead to this discovery. Anyway, while I was browsing this webiste I came across a picture that I really dug hard. I dubbed it "Cereal Head". I said to her, and myself, "I WILL OWN CEREAL HEAD, YOU WATCH!"

A year later I still had the website bookmarked. A year later I FINALLY decided to take initiative and see what I could do about obtaining "Cereal Head".

This website was of a young artist who lives in Oslo, Norway by the name of Taylor White. I sent her an email asking if it was at all possible for me to get a print made up and how much it would be to do so for the size that I had wanted. Even without any sort of real organized "ordering system" for ordering prints she was still nice enough to email me back with the best and cheapest way to do so with different paper options that I could choose from. A few days later the money was sent and a lot later(ha, due to my paper choice not being in for some time) the print was in my hands!

Here is Cereal Head: 18x24 with a hand made mat that I had to do at work. 



I cannot tell you how much I am in love with it. From the first time I saw it, I HAD to have it. Knowing that I had plans to move soon and finally for the first time have a kitchen to call my own. This is the perfect touch. Im very excited to hang it and stare as I enjoy my morning coffee. The colors are so bright and awesome that on spring and summer days Im going to have no choice but smile every time I see it. SO awesome!

Taylor White, if you do infact see this. THANK YOU SO MUCH AGAIN!

If you are at all interested PLEASE look at her website, www.Taylor-White.com or check out her Behance to see any of her other work. I definitely like a few other things that in time I might considering picking up.
