I L U.
After getting gelato with the parents in the 9th and 9th area yesterday, we waited to walk across the street where I saw my father tap my mother on the shoulder and sign to her “I love you.” I thought this was an endearing moment until he quickly pointed across [...]
BUSHES.
A few weeks ago I picked up City Weekly‘s 2011 City Guide with full intentions of reading it all later that day. But the reality is I only get to read while at one of my six jobs where I nanny a 4.5 year old (he’s not 4, guys). When [...]
CRY.
”It’s really beautiful when you’re at a certain point in your life where most of the adventure lies ahead of you. And it’s a sad thing when you feel like you’ve lost that. But you can get it back.” -Lykke Li I saw this quote via Sycamore Street Press and [...]
EXPERIENCE.
It’s been just over a week now since I got back from a long weekend in New York. I’ve been getting caught up with work and doing some heavy thinking about what happened during my time there. I initially went for a job interview with a custom stationery company. Months [...]

POOR.
I just went to the bank and they told me they don’t know how I’m living, more or less. Thanks student loans, you’re really kicking me in the groin here. Lets stare at Kate Macdowell’s magnificent piece of work, “Canary,” and forget about our problems. I think I’m in love [...]
INC.
I just got this in the mail today! I’ve been intrigued by it since I’ve seen it posted numerous times in other blogs I follow of successful print/handmade businesses. Just by reading the introduction it seems like it holds the answers to all my questions. I’ve been feeling more and [...]
2010.
My New Year’s Resolution for 2010 is to start something. Whether it be start making Friends Make Prints more official and steady, start getting my artwork into galleries, or start ideas that never leave my brain. The goal is to just start because that’s the only way I can get [...]
HOMESICK.
(Sheila trying to bite at her splashes today. Her and water will have a constant battle, I think.) I have been away from home since I was 13. This is when we moved away from this very creek that had a swing where I spent most of my adolescent days. [...]
