A Trip to the Art Institute of Chicago

Back in February, a friend from college and I went to the Art Institute of Chicago Museum. I haven't been there since freshman year in Fall 2007 and since then a Modern Art wing has been added on. I was in heaven! Here are some favorite cellphone snapshots from that day.

 You all know about my love for Alexander Calder right? I love his mobiles and went crazy over the above piece. Like almost hyperventilating.

 This is one of my favorite David Hockney paintings. It isn't a pool, but I love the color, the rendering of the leaves, the simplicity of the shadows. Hockney is so skilled at creating a realistic but painterly appearance in his work. Ahh! I geek out.

I love looking art and it was such a good trip. I enjoyed catching up with my friend and I feel energized from looking at the amazing art. The lines, the colors, the shapes. I love it!

Inside Jokes, Dreams, and a Birthday Present All in One.

I haven't blogged much in March. Want to see what I have been working on?

Yeah, that's all vector. Yeah, it was a monster and I have never taken on an illustration challenge like it. And yeah, I probably never will again because I might be going blind and have onset carpal tunnel. Like a lot of my other work is an inside joke between me and my boo. I started it 2 years ago as a birthday present for him but then school and life got busy and I never finished it. 2 years later it is a couple of days before his birthday and I JUST finished it. I hope he loves it as much as I do.

Do you enjoy seeing the outline view on a vector illustration as much as I do. Let's look at those paths.
