blog for inspiration and some extra pics.

I was going for a look here that would be reminiscent of a still from a film.

And a huge thanks to Julija Felajn for showing me painter Dino Valls!

FREE PRINT GIVEAWAY going on now until Sunday morning (PST). Sign up under my newest pic.

I think it is hard to look at this and not know what inspired it...though really it was more a recreation of The Death of Marat by David :-)

I've heard the sentiment that there is too much levitation flying around flickr (pun intended) and I agreed in some respect, so I did a 180 and dove straight into one of my passions - recreating classic paintings.

I posted a little "making-of" photo and this final photo on twitter before anywhere else. I surprisingly love twitter!

I've been extremely grateful for any word anyone has written me since I started flickr.

Because of that I am doing a FREE PRINT GIVEAWAY :)

If you're interested, let me know in a comment (flickrmail is too slow, bah)

Prints will be 8X8, and I will let the winner know which photos are available.

Contest closed! :)

Inspired partially by the levitation and poses of Miss Aniela and Balthus

My sister-in-law is here to visit. There will probably be one or two more uploads starring my beautiful sis.

I've got that Picasso print hanging on my wall and I've always wanted to put myself in that painting.
