I did this mosaic well over a year ago, on a plexi glass piece. It was part of a crafting thing set up by one of the talented women in the hood. We went to her house one evening and all did a piece, she had the whole thing really set up nice in her basement, with all the cutters, grout, glue, tiles, etc and her help of course. I think we paid $5, which is what we toss in for Bunko...but I gotta say I surely enjoy this much more then Bunko.
I finally cleaned it up, and bought one of those put together frames and stuffed in in the frame, and dragged it into my art gallery, eh, I mean my office :-)....more prettyness to look at to keep me from the mayhem of government contracting !
From my desk calender above, ...and yeah I AM draggin ass. So be patient if I seem pre-occupied, ok?

Office Decor -
Photo number two of the 'Chairs at Peace' series. Once I get a good print and photo, that will go up for sale on my Etsy site as well. But for now, this one and the other are up on my wall, reminding me of summer, days long ago, and bright times, and hope for the future. Namaste.
You know that big blue sun i was messing with, well here is what happens when you mess with canvas size and image size in Photoshop....I love it...I create all by accident!
Ok, this is a crappy shot but you get the idea, I am once again hanging, removing and moving the art on my wall in my office. It's my own little private art gallery to keep me happy when the government negativity starts to wash over my physche.

Namaste -" I honor the devine in you"
A scribble of how I felt on my flight down to Huntsville last week, when once again I was stuck with a seat mate who was a tad larger than the seat. I got so frustrated, I drew a pissed off Scooter...and scribbled the following next to it in my sketchbook..
"When you're frazzled , pissed off, scared, hurt, missing someone badly,and/or need a hug and everything is twirling around in your brain.....remember, Take Deep Breaths..."
Good advice ...and live in the moment, since what you do in the moment affects the future you are worried about now.

can you see them? all the planes in line out there?
ok, doesn't look like much, but trust me, there is a huge line for take off out there in line at JFK. Which is why I am sitting here in the Red Carpet Lounge at JFK after my flight has been delayed 2 hours and now i won't get in till 11 PM! and guess who had their spousal unit drive them to the airport coz the clutch and transmission in her jeep is fried? and guess who is whining about how early they get up and now have to stay up? talk about the me generation.

Let Hertz pur you in the drivers seat !
Never Lost ? Yeah right..LOL
Hertz decks out all their cars with a GPS and EZ Passess for the tolls. I had to take a pix of them both since it was kinda funny. the GPS looks like a taxi meter and the EZ Pass, well its a metal box stuck to the wind shield and you pull the little drawer out before you go thru the toll booth. Uglee but it works :-)
Dad is doing ok, cranky and wants to come home, but at least he is now in the re hab facility to get stronger. step by step closer to home

More Shoes -My Vaughn Bode~ Cheech Wizards sneaks
Cedric Jr didn't travel with me this time since he has already been to huntsville....but the sneakers made the trip...they look familiar? i have an exact pair only in red :-0
I have to do these simple things and funny stuff while i travel or i think i will go mad! travel is getting old now, and the only good thing is getting to see friends.

foot toss and getting hung up....
can you believe that i just kicked the shoe off toward the direction of the dresser and it got caught on the drawer knob? If i tried to do that again, it wouldn't happen in a million years!

When you can't take notes, DOODLE !
Sitting in discussions that contain classified material limits the amount of distractions you can have with you. No phones, no PDAs, crackberry's, crackapples, etc. So I just continue to doodle to hone my techniques and keep my promise to my self to draw something each and every day. Sometimes the 'something' comes out good, sometimes it hits the garbage can. But I am doing what I love and focusing on it.

a political cartoon
Yumm Yumm- NutriSystem Advanced!
As I was about to dig into this for lunch, I had a revelation...these look like MREs, as in Meals, Ready to Eat, good old Army chow. Ha.
for those of you who have had the pleasure of a gourmet meal of these tasty delectables, you understand my stomach's horror upon this revelation. For those of you who haven't had the pleasure...you don't know what you're missing. And you really don't want to know

My snuggly buggly..Thrash
Do I take too many pix of my little boy? I use the Mac Photo booth again [ as if you couldn't tell] to try and capture his mood. we were chair dancing, but he was overly mushy.
This is the part that makes it so hard to go on travel, or for that matter, get out of the bed in the morning. I highly recommend a bundle of snugly fur - it will lift your soul and brighten event he cloudiest of days!

On the road yet again...
Cedric Jr [thanks Joyce and Bill ] waiting at Dulles for the flight to Huntsville.
frustion on the airplane, with my knee still hurting and trying to read work stuff, I started doodling. Driving home from the lake, next day on an aircraft, I just hope that i get back home before Hanna gets to VA. I got art work to finish ! and i can't do it on the road, for sure.

the last dog days of summer
labor Day 1 Inspiration for Art and new water sports
Chairs at peace number two, initial working for the next photo in the series :-)
Yeah, I know I look fat and I am, but there is nothing more satisfying than enjoying water sports with m y little boyz, Thrash. He likes the slower pace of the kayak as much as the jet ski, but we just can't get to the ducks yet, no matter how we try to sneak up
