i've really been loving egon schiele, lately, his lines and perspective are beautiful

today starts the preparation to (perhaps) live in new york (see. i haven't even committed to it yet):

go to bed early.

wake up early.

hangout less.

work all the time.

work out - to de-stress & be fit.

make art, every day (work on those illustrations).

read regularly.

...

i mean, the list could go on, but if i'm really supposed to be there i believe the right doors will open and the appropriate doors will close, hopefully making it a smooth transition. all of these are things that i need to be practicing anyway, to be efficient & hopefully successful... especially if i'm going to call the Big Apple 'home'.

here are a couple pieces of artmail that i have sent out this past week:

so much love,

- k.

check this blog out ROCKOUTURE - really lovely, pertaining to fashion.

and Lykke Li. listen listen listen. especially this video, with Bon Iver.

also Yelle. listen too! (gotta love the french music).

dia de los muertos

one of my favorite days of the year. so i decided to test out some inks.

not my best work, but experimenting is definitely worth it.

i hope you celebrate the deceased - and everything that they are, were, and hopefully we will carry that on.

for two years i have been waiting, and it's finally here. the corner is being turned and i am diving head first into being what i am created to be: an artist.

fortunately for me (and my scattered-uncommitted life) the term artist is a giant umbrella that embodies limitless possibility. and being limited is exactly what i'm walking away from.

there are so many great things in store for this season of life. i can't wait to share them with you and i invite you to be a part of the process - your thoughts, critiques & ideas are welcomed and appreciated.

in the mean time here are some tunes to explore & be a part of (even if it's a small part):

"The Suburbs" by Arcade Fire

"Telekinesis!" by Telekinesis (who i discovered by way of Logan Potts - by way of NPR)

speaking of NPR... NPR Music is one of the greatest inventions of all time

Thanks to them we can listen to full albums before they're released. Like Ra Ra Riot's new album "The Orchard"

keep your eyes peeled, there are many great things coming.

so much love & appreciation.
