halloween weekend

it happens the same every year. i have brilliant ideas in march, july and august, but when the actual day comes around i get so flustered and annoyed that i totally give up my genius costumes. no different than this year, halloween is coming, fast, and i've forgotten all my great ideas. i'm sure that in march i knew exactly what i was going to be, and now, i only have a slight idea. suggestions? suggestions? clever. funny. not something to be made fun of. i hate having to think about this. but on the brighter side:

i'm pretty sure i'm going to document everything - first with our flip, then with my pentax, maybe some other old film too. eeeep! exciting, right?! let's just hope i'm surrounded by hundreds of people in incredible costumes.

i hope you've found yours (if you celebrate halloween by dressing up), and if you're not into that, i hope that you have a wonderful weekend filled with good friends and family.

love,

- k.

listening to some beautiful fall music today - including Andrew Bird & The Avett Brothers.

ps. that photo up there, was taken in a graveyard in Amacueca, Jalisco, Mexico (not my proudest moment as a photographer, but i still love it there).

pps. my dear friend KB's birthday was this week - just a little love sent to her - and her work is lovely.

ay ay ay

there's been a giant storm in nashville. it's fall. real shocker.

so today i watched a documentary on The Donner Party (eeeeeek). so very interesting, and so very gut wrenching. literally. i thought that just maybe i was going to throw up. but it's a very important part in the movement to civilization in the west (yes, that's right, all you californians.... and seattlites). so educate yourselves, its a good story & piece of history. and i believe some artwork is going to come of it.

also, i thought i'd share a little sketch (rough. very rough) for a piece i'm working on (which you'll be able to see it, in its entirety, if you come to my art show in december. yeah? yeah.).

told you its rough, any thoughts?

lots of love & wonderful storms,

- k.

ps. a little development on artmail. if you send me a little piece, i'll document it, and redirect it to someone else... (thus getting them involved in the movement) then you will receive something back (whether from me, or someone else involved).
