Carnaby St.

I decided to make some artwork for my apartment. I really don't like hanging my own work in my home, but I have had this postcard of Carnaby St. in 1967 for ages. So I created this 48 x 48in. wood panel & put this image on it. This is how i turned out:

to the future!





such good work, i hope this happens in 20 years.

funny next year is 2010 & i remember writing things in grade school about that year. the topic would be "what you will do in 2010." I'm pretty sure my composition directly paralleled Back to the Future. i had a some sort of a hovercraft skateboard in mind, and probably Jetson-style buttons for everything i needed. i was pretty into astronaut ice cream, and assumed we'd most likely be eating food like that (you know, just in case we wanted to take our space shuttle to the moon & wanted a treat). ha

wish list #1 - soooo need this



I think my life would be so much better if i had one of these. If i had a wish list, this would be on there - Seal Pelt by Vik Prjónsdóttir

ha!

records for everyone



i think half of my thought process is remembering & processing details from the day. that may explain why my dreams are so vivid. I have a feeling my brain just reinterprets my day and reconfigures it into a new sequence.

Last night i had a dream i was living in the 70s. Everywhere i went people carried records with them like we do ipods. we spent a lot of time climbing these huge stairs and looking down on the city below. i remember feeling afraid i would fall, but knew if i just moved quickly i could reach the top. i feel like each day i'm discovering life is so much deeper than i ever imagined. i wonder about all the symbolism & patterns that happen every day. I think about where i've been & wonder about where life is headed. i'm really happy now, but i feel like there's not enough time to do the things i love to do. Time is moving too quickly & i seem to make entirely too many excuses for not doing the things i want to do.

i love the idea of living without fear, regret and hesitation. i know caution is good at times, but i would love to eliminate fear from the whole thought process. it seems to prevent a lot of good things from happening. I've been thinking, if my dreams are functioning as a way for my brain to process & configure thoughts...there might be something to seeing if they can bring some sort of clarity to the nonsense of my daily life :)

jet packs & tickets to nowheres

in my dream last night i pulled a ticket from an automated machine. on the paper was a destination specific to the person that took the ticket. immediately after i received the paper, i was shot into the air like i was wearing a jetpack. At some point after flying i was caught by someone in a hot air balloon who attached me to floating balloon with a backpack.

my own bear



i had this dream the other night that a bear ran straight at me full speed. he grabbed my arm, but for some reason, he didn't eat my face off. so of course i decided to pet him. he rolled on his back to have his belly rubbed. it was so great...he became my pet bear. seriously my dreams feel so real. i could see & feel his claws on my arm, and the fur on his belly. oh man, i really want to have a pet bear. can you even imagine the awesomeness of walking a bear down the street or taking him to beach and seeing him run in the waves?! one day...oh one day
