WHAT i WORE // ALiCE

A little while back I was contacted by Redbubble to help share their Art in Motion campaign and awesome new clothing products you can get with art and illustrations on them and anyone can upload their work to be printed. Redbubble is a global artists' marketplace with over 80,000 selling artists. If there is one things to know about me it's that I always support fellow artist and love that I can wear their art on me to share with people who may have never seen their work before. You get to express yourself with art and I think that's pretty wonderful. 

One of their new products is a tube skirts. Mine has a wonderful illustration by artist Karl James Mountford on it and I had so much fun styling it. There is a rose garden pretty close to were we are currently living so I thought it would be a good backdrop for some photos. Silly me decided to go at golden hour on Mother's Day! What was I thinking? Everyone was there so taking many photo wasn't an option without photoshopping out people around me. I'm pretty excited to go back on a different day and take some more photos. The roses there are beautiful!

HAPPY MONDAY

One thing I decided I needed to do this year is post more of all the random things I do to entertain myself and break up my day between working. I forget to share more of the photos and doodles I do. I can't sit still and have to keep making things. I'm going to try to start posting more of this stuff that I often share on Instagram or Facebook but forget to share here.

I gave Doug a new face today. I'm sure he loves me making him take photos with me. I get to dress two people up now and when all my pets are with me again, we will have a nice zoo of entertainment. 

Have a great night!

ARTIST // MARY BLAIR

A few weeks ago I was California visiting my boyfriend and after three attempts to see The Walt Disney Family Museum in San Francisco (we didn't plan so well and they are not open on Tuesday which was a bit random I thought) we finally made it on a Thursday. We purchased tickets for the museum and the Mary Blair exhibit they currently have right now that goes until September 7th if anyone is interested in visiting. If you're wanting to see the museum and any of the artist exhibits, give yourself about 4 hours to go through everything if you're like me and want to take lots of photos and see all the rooms. The museum itself is quite wonderful but for me, my favorite part and the reason I wanted to go, was to see the Mary Blair exhibit.

If you are not familiar with Mary, she was an artist for Walt Disney from around 1940 to the 1960's creating amazing concept art, character design, and art direction for many films including Alice in Wonderland, Peter Pan and Cinderella, along with many other projects as well as children books. If you would like to read more info about her and her life the Magic of Mary Blair site is a good one. 

For me and many other artists and designers, she has been a huge source of inspiration throughout my life with her amazing use of color and design. I did my best to get some good photos of the exhibit to post but unfortunately due to really low light in the museum most of my photos came out really blurry (insert sad face). Here are a few that were somewhat good enough to post. 

Be sure to check out her work on line to see a better representation of her use of color and design. I may pull some of my favorites to post that didn't come out in photos very well.

Have a wonderful Wednesday!
