a mosaic from my flickr faves.
my color palette is an area of my artwork I'm trying to develop lately. I go to the same old favorites over and over, or rely on pretty basic combinations (red and light blue, orange and green, overall monochromatics, etc.) So, I delved into my flickr favorites to find palettes I found interesting that I generally don't or haven't used in art or collages yet. I figure, if I'm drawn to this image at least part of it has to be the palette, right? one thing I'm definitely seeing is a lot of orangey tones. . . .other than that it's all just super pretty and appealing to me.
I think I learned this trick at some point in college, to look at photographic imagery to find palettes for artwork. Not like it's groundbreaking or anything, but it's a nice reminder to always look for new inspirations.
I have been working late this week and I come home late and pretty tired. I'm full of ideas but not a lot of motivation. So, a glass of wine, looking through flickr pretties and listening to the
new andrew bird ep and she & him is a nice way to wind down the day.

I have never heard of Andrew Bird. I'll have to check it out! I love hearing about new music, so tell me more!
I really, really, really tried to like the Zooey Deschanel album, but I just don't. Which annoys me, because I really WANT to like it!!!
em-definitely check out andrew bird on itunes! if you'd like, I can make you a mix cd sometime. it's one of my favorite things to do!
the zooey deschanel has definitely grown on me. . . at first when I bought it i thought, ugh, maybe that was a waste of 10 bucks. there are a few songs I don't care for, but yeah, it's growing on me.
omg. let's make mix cds for each other. i so heart it, too. andrew bird lives here! :)
