happy thanksgiving

*tosses confetti*

I can't believe I haven't posted since Halloween!  This definitely has been one of my busiest months.  With the holidays nearing it appears things won't slow down for a while, but I try to catch a few moments to do things that aren't on the list, like playing with photoshop....it's important to keep practicing your skills, whether with a mouse or a brush.  My self-imposed assignment last night was to make a birthday card for my favorite rock star, Ville Valo.  The photo credit is unknown.  I placed him over a scan of a painted page.

Earlier this month I had the pleasure of team teaching with some respected colleagues.  It was such a blast to share our love of stencils with a huge group of enthusiastic artists at The Ink Pad in NYC. We even spray painted!  It was pretty blustery outside on the second day but most came out with me to brave the wind to give the spraying a try - with some very cool results.  I didn't take alot of pictures, but here is the happy clan.  I'll show you the fab journal we constructed under Andrew's direction in a few days.
