Always a rebel. When Kaitlyn sees a private property sign she’s like, “Oh no, you didn’t!” I think she might have peed on the sign too. Less “claiming her territory” and much more in the “middle finger to the man” kind of way. Either way, I find it kind of endearing given that look on her face.

Ps. I wrote and posted this on my phone while sitting in a barber shop. Something tells me it will turn out funky and I will probably have to edit it when I get on my computer. As I hit the “post” button imagine me saying, “Well, here goes nothin!”

I forgot to post these, but a couple of weeks ago we went on a little adventure in San Miguel. Not much going on there, but we did find an awesome gas station that’s been converted into a coffee shop. This first photo is the only one I took in downtown San Miguel. All of the other photos were taken at the Mission. For some reason I was really obsessed with doors while we were there. Enjoy!

For those interested, Coral took control of our fancy Canon for the day, so all of my photos were taken and edited on my iPhone.

Thanks for looking!

Dirty puddle reflection in combination with the Dali lens makes for some crazy photos.

As you know, I love Hipstamatic. Almost every photo I take with my iPhone is taken with Hipstamatic. Last weekend they had a promo for their “Retro” Paks. I totally splurged. In the world of apps and “in app” purchases the term “splurge” means I spent about $3. Not bad. The Dali Pak was included in one of the offers, so I snatched it up. If I had to sum it up I’d say it turns your photo into some sort of surrealist photo. Duh, right? The outcome is totally random. The results make for pretty interesting imagery. Some of them work, some of them don’t. You can take four photos of the same exact thing and end up with four totally different images. I like it because it’s like making an abstract painting, but you know, without all the mess. Here are some of the photos I’ve taken with it over the last few days. Enjoy!

Also, I don’t get any money or free product to constantly promote Hipstamatic. Not yet. Of course, I totally should. Hint hint, big wigs at Hipstamatic, I’d totally rock the Hipsta Kid shirt in a Dude’s size Large. Please send it to:

Thanks much!

Pascal moved into my work studio a couple of weeks ago. We now keep each other company during the day and on these late night painting sessions. I’ve never been a pet person, but Pascal really won my heart. I mean, look at that smooshed up little face of his…seriously.

This cart has really made my life easier. I love having all my supplies in one space. And it’s mobile so I never have to leave my chair. It’s a perfect marriage of artist laziness and workaholic effectiveness.

Tonight, I’m finishing up the “Welcome to…” portion of this sign for Batch, a local ice cream sandwich shop. Very tasty and I highly recommend checking them out. The next step to this project is a 4′ x 6′ sign. I keep referring to it as menu board, but it’s not so much a menu board as it is a “call to action” board letting customers know the proper steps on how to order. More on that in a future post.

Never a night goes by without music. I’ve been super into Hip Hop and Pandora (Kid Cudi Radio) ever since I got out of my Girl Talk, All Day phase. Seriously, I listened to that for months. With over 300 samples from so many genres of music it really is hard to get bored with.

And there you have it. That’s my night.

Sweet dreams!

I don’t normally hang out at SLO High…
Dropping James off at wrestling tonight there was this.

Taken on iPhone with Photosynth. Slight editing with Snapseed. Both apps are free.

Some photos from the last few days.

Coral asked me to take some photos of her for her latest blog post. I really liked this one because the idea was that she would be covering her face with the book, but I got a little sneaky and took this in between “book closed” and “book open” shots. Also, she liked it enough to use it in her blog post, but our edits of the photo are totally different, which is fun to see.

That is not a monkey on her back. It’s a bear. Grrr!

Elliott eating an orange right off the tree. Hey, why not? I almost didn’t post this because I am very critical about feet being cut halfway off. It’s like, “Hey! Couldn’t you just tilt the camera down a teensy bit to get the toes in there?” Contrary to popular belief, I’m not Annie Leibovitz.

Thanks for looking!

I just realized that for two days in row I happened to take a photo of something having to do with baking. Yesterday, I was at the donut shop getting my Thai iced tea fix and took this.

This morning I was at Batch and took this photo of their cookie depositing machine.

If I was more ambitious I could see turning this into some sort of series.

Happy Eating.

I was scrolling through apps on my phone and opened up IncrediBooth, which I haven’t used for months, and I found this photo from March.

I love the look and feel of photo booth pictures. You’d think that an iPhone app wouldn’t be able to compete with a real photo booth, but I beg to differ. It looks the same to me. And it’s right in your pocket ready to go.

Smile.
