What it’s really like living in San Francisco
It’s been just over two years since I moved to the Bay Area from Atlanta. I’ve been thinking a lot lately about how completely different it is out here and what it’s like living in San Francisco from a displaced Southerner’s perspective. It’s impossible to capture all the little details when someone from back east Continue reading

Art Review of Rene Magritte: Something’s Not Quite Right
I’ve always been fascinated by the strange and subversive, so when I began to learn about Surrealism in art school, I was hooked. I pored over Dali paintings, spent a semester studying Frida Kahlo and fell in love with the beautifully executed, yet off-kilter work of Rene Magritte.

Last week I took a trip out to Baltimore to see some family for Christmas.

Art o’ Mine
I have some pictures of my artwork that have been taking up space on my camera since before Thanksgiving. I figured it was time to show them off blog-style. This is a piece that I did for my friend Shannon. I started with a 22×30 inch piece of watercolor paper and stained it with yellow Continue reading

Wave Gotik Treffen: Part Zwei
What better time to write another Wave Gotik Treffen post than on this hideously rainy, dark, depressing, finals-filled day? Since Wave Gotik Treffen is this weekend in Leipzig, Germany, I would like to celebrate all things Gothic by posting some of the highlights from previous years.
