Busy Busy

I'm sorry I have not posted at all last week. Things have been kinda crazy on my end. I plan on picking things back up again this week, don't worry! There are a few things in my queue for this week plus one big piece of goodness that won't be ready to share until a little later next week. But, I'll be back again soon to share a new Post-it Portrait, some thoughts about self-portraits, a recap of episode 2 of Work of Art 2, and probably another thing or two this week.

Hope you didn't miss me too much!

Office Desk Steez: Pirate Mascot

In my department we had a pirate theme going on for our fall peak weeks at work. Sooo this is the flag that we made with our team mascot, we just used felt, tacky glue, and silver paint (for the hook):

Our team's mascot, a fat orange dinosaur.

Creeper's in the spirit too!

Art Beats and Lyrics DC

Yes, that is an alcoholic beverage I'm holding.

This past Friday night I checked out Art Beats + Lyrics, an art exhibition that oozes hip hop culture. I couldn't resist checking it out since it promised two of my favorite things: art and dancing. Oh, and things that cost Free.99. Yes for what the event had to offer I was really surprised that it was free! It also stands to mention that it was sponsored by Jack Daniels (mmhmm, the whiskey) so you even got a couple of free drinks! Which is great if you're into that kind of thing. I am! ...but only because it's free - ahem. haha

Office Desk Steez: Post-it Portrait #3

Been having some MUCH better hair days lately. Actually I just dyed it too but didn't have a red pen handy to add a red tint to it. Maybe next time.

SN: The color is visible finally!! Yeah so apparently sometimes there is a bit of a difference in using some "ethnic" hair products. I've just used "standard" hair products for years with no issues, I prefer it actually. But I'm starting to see that hair color might be one of those things where I should really go by the picture, haha. But I digress...

And the winner is...
