Winter Reading

Here it goes.

I read the entire Twilight Saga in one month.
I am not embarrassed to say so.
I am equally unembarrassed in my admission that I loved every word on every page.
I believe it is a wonderful love story.
I will see every movie.
I will even try to get cast in the last one, even if it means flying to Oregon and waiting in line with thousands of screaming teenage girls.
I repeat, I am not embarrassed.



Thank you Stephenie Meyer.

Ok so that's out of the way. Post Twilight Saga, I found myself wanting to read more. I was amiss when I found myself unable to relate to the classical literature references in Ms. Meyers books. (I didn't exactly do my reading in High School, I was too busy in the art room). So I went out and bought Emily Brontë's Wurthering Heights. I figure no time like the present for a little reeducation. This should keep me busy for a while.

It was a fun day at work!

Richard Haines, the super talented man who I'm privileged to call a friend stopped by my work today. In the hustle and bustle of things I had to run an errand and was unable to say goodbye before he had to go. He left me a sketch, small and simple but completely made my day.



Richard, You're the Best! Thank you.

Happy Halloween

Oh What a Night.... Enough Said.

Halloween Commission

My good friend, Madeleine commissioned me to create a jacket for her Matador Halloween Costume. Here's a few pictures from the process. The final outcome is pretty amazing if I do say so myself. Hopefully I'll get a few photos.

Sleeve Detailing Coming Together. Literally Made it up as I went Along.


The Not Quite Finished Piece... Still had 36 Gilded Buttons to Sew to the Bodice. You Get the Idea.

I Just Can't

Get Her Out of My Head!

Best... Concert... Ever... Period.

Put a Ring on It

For all my hard work I did during the month of September, I treated myself to something special. I've always wanted something with diamonds, there's something about their indestructibility, creation and romance. I will have this forever.



The photo definitely doesn't do it justice. Just a modest band, masculine, nothing too extravagant, in a word, Perfect.

A Day at the Met

Some inspirational looks from the classical European painting galleries.





Jesus sure can work a man-drape!



After a few hours roaming the Met I took a nice sunset stroll through Central Park, I even fed some koi fish in the pond.



It was a very relaxing day, long overdue.

It's all just a blur now!

Settling Down

I have tomorrow and the next day off I promise to update/recap/continue the blog.

Until then, what a sweet surprise to wake up to in the morning.
Flowers from Abby, a small gesture that will keep me smiling all day!
