Today I sold a print of this piece, which a few weeks ago was included in someone's wedding registry on Etsy! Could this be the fulfillment? Yes or no, I am happy to make the sale!

In Appreciation of: Linda Monfort
I love Linda Monfort's abstract expressionism - all those colors - the striking compositions - gorgeous! She even claims to be a featured artist on the upcoming season of Mad Men, wow.

Blizzards and Cold in Maine
It's been awhile since I posted - October, I think? I've been so busy with work! I haven't even been able to do any artwork (other than finish the Kamasouptra mural at the Maine Mall, which I will get to as soon as I get over there to take proper photos of it). Oh my.
We've had it blizzarding a couple times in upper New England recently. But today, alas, is clear and bright. I will go into work (again).

New Skill Wanted: Avid Media Composer
I try to challenge myself to learn something new every now and then. The past two weeks I've had the opportunity to learn two new valuable things: 1) how to load and view media in the complex editing software program, Avid, and 2) how to drive a motorboat.
Though these skills have nothing to do with producing hand-drawn artwork, I've really enjoyed it.
Last week, I was hired by Lone Wolf Documentary Group to log raw footage of the gold mining expedition in Greenland for Animal Planet. Tedious though it was, it allowed me to finally get a taste of Avid Media Composer, which I've been wanting to learn.
I'm currently downloading a tutorial package from Avid's website so I can actually learn how film editing is done. I only wish I had done this sooner! Another logger also on the job clued me in to this opportunity last week.
... I'll get to driving a motorboat in another post. :)
Commission at Kamasouptra
Hey! I know it's been a while since I blogged. Should I feel irrationally guilty?
Good news: I've been commissioned to do this 6' x 3.5' mural at a local soup place called Kamasouptra. They have one location at the Public Market House in Monument Square already and this new spot at the Maine Mall. They make the most delicious soups I've ever tasted with all organic, local products and ingredients.
Below is the final design, which includes a map of Casco Bay, the islands, Portland Head Light, and their locations around Portland. They also keep a farm called 'Farmasouptra' in Cumberland, where they grow many of their own products. Too cool.

Painting sold!
I sold my first painting ever this weekend, to a lady in California. Probably one of my finest, I was sad to say goodbye.

Copenhagen Chic, with bikes
We all know French women "really know how to dress," but nothing compares to the Danes and their chic, earthy minimalism. They make riding a bike to work and grocery store in style a no-brainer. As a student in Copenhagen in 2005, I remember feeling awed by the sight of hundreds of well-dressed Danes riding through the streets in the cold winter mornings, peddling en masse, in their heels, coats, beautiful scarves, and tailor-made suits, creating altogether an abundance of unobtrusive neutrals. For me, it was something to live up to.
That being said, I recently discovered the blog, Cycle Chic, which identifies biking culture trends in major cities, focusing mostly on Copenhagen. If you'd like to really see how biking in cities could be aspirational, take a browsing. For instance, I cannot express enough admiration for this woman's whole arrangement:
