Burgundy & Burgers & one year old!

somehow, it's actually NOT hard for me to believe that this blog is already one year old. I'd like to celebrate this weekend with a dinner of burgers and burgundy wine, and a cake with one candle.

no glitter, no glitz, just a few still lifes.

Happy Valentine's Day!

i wish i could direct you to the artist of this poster, but I can't. i find it really.... cotton candy like sweet. I am gearing up for V-day myself. Dark chocolate cake with chocolate icing.

marimekko

what an awesome, simple graphic, working in three colors. GENIUS!

valentines

i think i'll do Valentines day this year... seems like an no brainer, really. i usually do some chocolatey treat for jeff, and this year i'll try for some paper love notes to drop in the mail. glitter, doilies, ribbon, the whole nine yards.

Shepard Fairey - grafitti artist, is now a part of the National Portrait Gallery. (38 yrs old). That IS progress.

eagerly awaiting baby

That would be Catherine & Gabe's baby.... coming ANY MINUTE NOW!

Baxter and I

Baxter and I looking poetic. This is sketchwork for (yet another) class project.

Rashomon

I am "studying" this movie for class. Rashomon (1951). It won handfuls of awards for its ground breaking stories, new camera techniques, etc. All I can say is... it is truly painful to watch and I am thankful for all the moviemaking imporvements of the 20th century.
