Covet

I've had this painting sitting around for a WHILE!!! Just didnt know what to do about it and I finally got bored/bummed enough to wanna figure it out. Plus, It was annoying me all undone and I wanted to put more artwork up. It didn't turn out at all what I had first drawn it to look like but I'm more than pleased with the results. I'm calling it "Covet" and its a mixed medium piece. Now let's see who can tell me what I was trying to say in this piece and the correct answer wins a prize from me! Let me know what you think about the piece, either way I would LOVE to hear what you guys think!!! XOXO ME!!!!

Time to reflect!!!

Rainy days are hell for kids, awesome for adults. Kids think its the kiss of boredom the day has delivered to you. For adults, its a day of personal time and relaxation. But I wanted to be productive that day! I have no idea what I wanted to do but I knew I wanted to do something!!! I was bummed since my imaginary plans got rained out but wouldn't mind reflecting on myself. Just to have some classic Lynn time, you know being random. So here's some pics of the time I had with myself. 

I had lots of images to choose from so please pardon me on the similar images. They we all interesting in their own way & I just had to share my variations with you. It's quite fun because you can tell tons of stories with an image. I love doing this project! It's just SO simple & easy. I mean all you really need is yourself, a camera, and photoshop or any similar programs. I will most definitely be trying more projects like this one and/or taking it to the next level!

 

On even better news, I FOUND MY JUMP DRIVE!!!! Which means, I HAVE A PICTURE OF ME BARTENDING FROM THE LAST POST! I know you guys were completely losing it because I didn't have proof but you can all be put at ease....I found it. (It was in my bathrobe which I rarely wear. I swear this is the 1st time I left it in the bathrobe, that is.) Anyway, here's the image you've all been waiting for! ^_^

Wasn't it worth the wait!!!

 

Art of Bartending!

So jumping back in time to Friday, August 6, 2010 to the Trini Southside Promotions Time Machine Party @ CJ's Hideaway. Its headed by our dear family friends Mr.Trevor & Mrs. Patsy! So Rosie  was tipped off to the event and I jumped on the opportunity to bartend at it. It would be a new experience and good for my blog of course! The only experience even near counting is when we have our parties/social gatherings at a certain someone's house, you know who you are!, and we become each others bartender. Or at friend's parties where someone is kinda just takes control. SAME THING! Anywho, I was excited and It was fun. Kinda slow at first and then the people trickled in. I was instructed to only provide drinks once I got a ticket and took that seriously, ^_^ Alas the night could not last forever; I had work the following morning. Did pretty good for my first time and my worst mistake was making ginger ale & henny as a glass of henny & a glass of ginger ale....yeah I heard him wrong....WAY OFF! ^_^  Here's some pics from the night!

       

So Now to the most saddening of topics, my apologies for posting for late however there has been a great loss in my life...I can't find my jump drive. It's all alone in this big world with no one aware of its contents, some of which were photos of me bartending that night (they were cute too! ). I'll probably bump into it but if in case it turns out another way I hope it falls into the hands of someone who will benefit from its contents...Mmmm portable photoshop...how i'll miss u! Thank GOD i got a copy on my computer. So please a moment of silence for my dear beloved friend and portable storage drive, Tiny, may you cruise straight into jump drive heaven, you will be missed and replaced.

Sketch of Isabella by Lynn

Lately, I've been trying to get my creative juices going but I hit road blocks and I gotta look to some else's work or a place or anything for inspiration. Its refreshing to know that even your fellow artists the one's who's work  provokes and demands attention still get blocks too. I'm talking about my dear Colombian artsy friend, Isabella AKA Quintor, this chick is nasty just straight sick with colors & most definitely a  must see so I recommend you check up on the artist with a pencil stuck in her head. ^_^  She's a triple threat of photography, graphic design, and an artist. What puts the icing on the cake is that is really awesome to  just be around, simply inspiring and awesome. So good luck on breaking your block! I usually suggest trying something new, broadens your view on things. Anywho, we're planning a little treat for our reader's so make sure you follow either or both of our blogs to check out that project. Looking forward to the next post, I think its gonna be GRrrreaaatt!!!! 

P.S. I want you!!! <3

BTW,  I was wanting to do a make-up tutorial so if you have any  suggestions about a character you want me to turn myself into like a zombie, jessica rabbit, alice in wonderland, etc. let me know becuz my favorite month of all time is coming and I wanted to celebrate the GLAMINARS coming to Atlanta Sept. 11 for all you MakeUp Heads to see my makeup mentor Kandee Johnson!!!

Paint all over yo body!!!!!

Hello Hello Everyone! So were hopping into my time machine today and jumping back to JULY 18, 2010!!! DUM DUM DUM!!!! See when I first thought up this making a blog and taking on new projects, I took this body painting job (easy now pervs) which was on JULY 18!!! DUM DUM!!!! ^_^ Obviously we know now that I took the job, documented it, and got caught up in life with all its distractions and didn't begin or write even about it in my blog til now. DON'T JUDGE ME!!! Anywho, I noticed the job on CL and booked it! Now people this was a non-paying event that had other merchants & artists there, so this was more to get myself out there. I KNOW, I KNOW poor people can't afford to do stuff for free BUT I have reasons! Really just three! 1) I wanted to try something NEW & CHALLENGING, 2) to do more things to get MY NAME outta peoples mouths! and 3) Just to simply do what I LOVE for THE LOVE of it.  So no worries, I will try to control myself and hold out for paying things too. ^_^ 

Anyway,  the group is called Beauty Vixens and it was like a beauty fashion gathering. I was booked to paint only 1 girl but the other body painter was a no show so I got to paint 3, 2 girls and 1 guy. Now I'm a man hater or something but lets be honest it aint hard to paint on a girl but its a touch more difficult to paint on a guy and NOT make him look like a total fruit. No offense to the guy, he was manly its just paint on a guy kinda isn't,....it's tricky! When I did it just wasn't manly enough, I do better on a female canvas, Im just more familiar with that figure. So the idea was to paint 1 chest with anything I wanted just as long as it was scandalous and the other to bodies were just my whatever I wanted. So here's the female products, like i said the dude one wasnt that awesome. TADA!!!!

This gig was lots of fun and new for me. Ive painted on bodies before but never in a public venue so that was new for me. This was the first time I've put myself out there like that. I didn't make any money but I loved the experience and it really juiced up my creativity which kinda has been hibernating for a bit. It just felt really great to do something that I love, to paint but with a new canvas! Night guys!

First BLOG!!!!

Greeting & Salutations readers! I'm popping my blogging cherry and trying this out. This blog is simply an account of all my creative activities and new experiences aka "my life." My goal is to push myself more creatively and so I must take part in at least 1 new project weekly/bi-weekly. This will also keep record of any out of the norm things I do also. I don't know if anyone wants to read but I' love it if you'd follow my random journey.

One best way to start is to show you where I came from. This could take a while cause I've been artsy since childhood. I'm not gonna pull out my old crayola drawing but just a short glimpse of my work. I'll try to upload some old things every now and then. But you can check out my photography work in the meantime. Feel free to make any suggestions of any projects you want me to take on or anything u might want to see, and comment so I know what ya think. Until I have more time to ramble, talk to you guys later!
