blank. blank expression

i've been trying to decide how to dress up our wall in the living room. we have 9 ft high ceilings and 25 ft wide space of blank blank blankity blank. it's been driving me crazy. my husband and i have been living in our apt for a year now and nothing has graced the smooth surface or brought attention to the eyes. the wall is painted in a brown/yellow/gold tone. flat. no gloss. a black ikea couch sits in front. grr. i've been collecting images to help inspire me. here's a few....

check out this awesome artist from Berlin, Evol. He's a street artist that transforms electric boxes, small planters, and other geometric forms into miniature cities and apartments. now that's dope. hmm. i wonder how much rent would cost?

color me surpise

another inspiration from EpiCute. i'm digging these colors. hm. this would look fantastic on a canvas framed w. bold black. eye catching image on a blouse. or a sewn design on a silk jersey jacket. these colors are amazing. *did i mention i hate pink. there's pink in this. wth. lol

....unbelievable....

over the weekend i picked up my fav mag, Hi.Fructose. the cover grabbed my attention immediately. artwork by Lori Earley. i have never heard of her and i'm stoked that i do now.  a master of graphite drawings and oil painting. her artwork is incredible. the pics i have posted up are just two of my favs. here's a little info on her. credit to her website. http://www.loriearley.com

"My oil paintings are a combination of classical realistic rendering with a personal element of distortion. 



This distortion comes from my innate desire to transform my emotions into tangible planes that express what I feel, not what I see. " unbelievable talent.....

back to life...back to reality.....

wow. so i really started one. bare with me i guess while i try to get a handle on this. hmm where do i start exactly. why coco creme brulee? well, i love chocolate. shoot who doesnt? you can do so much with it. transform it into anything you want. anything you're in the mood for. it's amazing AND yummy. what more can i say? =)i ADORE and double love creme brulee. there's something so special about it's creamy, delicious, delicate taste. my favorite part in eating creme brulee? *giggle* oh my friend, why it's the breaking of the caramelized shell. there's something fun about tapping the cool metal spoon against hard sugar and hearing the sound of the small break. it brings a smile to my face. you get chocolate and creme brulee together and it's pure joy for me......two things that are so simple and pleasing to the tummy and eye.

what's to come? i'll be dibble dabbling(like my words) over the catch of the day. week. hour. month. whatever sparks my interest to COMMUNICATE to the world. what will it be? i want to focus on the surroundings of fashion. arts. and food. that's another reason why i chose chococremebrulee. to me in its simple self it is fashionable. def art(soft yellows, creams, paired against the crystallized tans blending into black sugar)and of course it's part of the most important course. DESSERT. YUM-O!

until then.....outro
