Arabian Nights




These two Arches were made as Christmas Presents! I am really loving the different shapes you can incorporate into the basic gothic arch. These are "Onion Bulb."

Klimt Quartet







Here are the ATC's I mentioned before. A string quartet based on Klimt and Zentangles. The other two will be included in the article I'm writing for the January Issue of ArtTrader Magazine, which will be released on January 15th :)

Art Fuel

I use music to fuel my art, as I imagine a lot of artists do. (Though I have read that some like to listen to books on tape!) And classical music has been on my playlist lately.

I wanted to share a great vid I've been watching on YouTube. The Spanish based group PaGAGnini has a great sketch. The comedy as the begining is adorable, but the U2 "With or Without You" cover is Truly Epic. Indeed, I felt the actual U2 song itself a complete emotional let down after hearing this spine tingeling electric violin arrangement:



Does anyone else agree that it's way better than U2? Bono's glasses can't compete with that facial hair either...

I'm currently working on a four piece ATC sized set based on Classical Music, Klimt and Zentangles. I'll post these little Frankensteins of inspiration soon :)

Goth Girl


I've been trying to figure out a name for this gal, Sophisticate goth? Goth Elegance? High-brow Goth? Is there a proper term I'm unaware of, not being a member of the actual Goth community?
