Artist Envy & Updates

Hi Everybody! 
        (Hi Dr. Nick)


I have been neglecting my blogging duties lately. I have a good excuse, I promise. I have been super busy. WIth 3 weeks left in the semester, I have more work than ever. Here is a short wrap up of what has been going on with me over the last 2 weeks.


I finally caught up on my Dental Health. A crown and 3 fillings are pretty good incentives to floss daily.
In Fibers I have been Weaving, Coiling, Crocheting, and Knotless Netting. I have fallen in love with yarn, what can I say? As soon as the semester is over, I am going to teach myself to knit.
In Graphic Design II I have been doing lots and lots. Lots of logos, and typefaces and spending my weekends in In Design and Illustrator. I am happy with some of my latest work and that puts a smile on my face.
I have discovered some good music and I went to a great house show. I will post more about this later.


All in all it has been a fun, if hectic few weeks. 


Enough about me, let's talk about art!


Yellena James is a very talented artist born in Sarajevo, now living and working in Portland. She works with pen and ink and acrylic. Her work is a beautiful mix of surreal and pretty. She has a dynamic sense of color and I think her work is the perfect spring muse. If you would like to have a little spring time all year round, you can buy her work at her Etsy shop.
