blog
Why a blog?
I’ve always loved sharing my ideas with whoever will listen (or is unlucky enough to be within earshot). Most of them go nowhere after that, but a couple end up worthwhile! This site is a way for me to share my ideas with people beyond earshot, and doubles as writing practice!
I hope one day somebody may be inspired by what I’ve shared and go on to do things greater than I could have ever dreamed of. I couldn’t exactly take credit, but if I’m even a slight influence towards something greater, that’s a win.
Art Studio in a Van
I'm afraid to invest in renovating a van (not that I even have a license yet), outfitting it with art supplies, and then getting sideswiped by a pickup or smashed by a semi. But... I think it'd be a really awesome van.
Disney Mashup w/ @k.steely_the_artist
First off, check out my sister's awesome work on instagram @k.steely_the_artist! I admire her ability to actually follow prompts and not procrastinate things like #inktober.
Free Caricaturist
Surely everyone must have seen them. I know I have.
The caricaturists at zoos.
I want to be one.
For free.
Art in Trigonometry
Is math an art form?
When struggling through a completely new concept in Calculus, it surely doesn't seem that way. (Unless you're counting the confused circles and arrows surrounding problems I don't yet understand).
But in Trigonometry, there was one assignment that was inarguably art.
Frogs for a Good Cause
Oooh, this was a fun one. I moved to a new school my 7th grade year. What better way to spend the first holiday season than making origami frogs and selling them to fund a shoebox for Samaritan's Purse?
Art Museum Sketching
The visit to the Art Institute of Chicago was a good one. And not because of the art.
Hamsters
I have the sudden urge to get another hamster just thinking about Oreo.
Oreo the hamster came home as my big 12th birthday present. I had done my research, got everything ready early, and was super excited for a furry friend. Oreo was perfect.
