Nashville, TN Highlights

Posted on

Day four of our trip was a big traveling day for us. We left the rental house in the morning, drove all the way to Asheville, NC for dinner, and then drove to Nashville, TN to the motel to sleep the night away. It was loads of driving, and we arrived to Nashville so so so late. And the motel experience was pretty uncomfortable, almost to the point where it felt as if we stepped into a horror movie, but I won’t get into that because it’s in the past and I’m alive. 👐

North Carolina Highlights

Posted on

(A cool mural that was not too far from where we stayed.)

It’s wild to think about all the traveling we took part in within the week we had our rental car.
The four days we were in North Carolina, we stayed in the Outer Banks, and took a few trips around town to see what the Outer Banks had to offer. The majority of the time, we found ourselves chasing the sunset and looking out for awesome nature spots. It was a very picturesque area.

Graffiti In Athens

Gonna be honest, I’m kinda disappointed I haven’t found any murals or graffiti in the area of North Carolina we’re staying in. But then again, I guess that can’t be a bad thing at all. In my eyes, it’s both good and bad, but I really shouldn’t complain. They got a nice thing happening here on the eastern side of NC. They take care of their city.

In the meantime, I really still have much more graffiti photos from Greece, so that’ll keep this Love Notes section busy until I gather enough photos from other locations.

Down The Coast We Go

Posted on

Nags Head, North Carolina

So I’ve had quite a number of family friends ask me, “didn’t you go on enough vacations this year?”. I did, but I’m trying to do this thing where I say yes more than no when good opportunities comes along.
Two weeks ago, a friend asked if I wanted to go on a road trip to North Carolina. Her aunt has a summer house that had a week free between being rented out and my friend wanted to reserve it for that week. I don’t have an excuse to really go south, so here was an excuse and opportunity. This year has been trip-tastic, so I figured why not go out with a bang and end it off with a rando road trip to the Old North State.

Mermaid Art

I think one thing that’s really cool is how everyone has their own interpretation of what they think mermaid art is. Really random topic, I know, but I wanted to share what my interpretation is. Spoiler: it involves scales, blue-teal-green, and a whole lot of glitter.

L7 Fast & Frightening Quote

As I’ve shared my love for empowering 90’s grungey bands, L7 (who recently reunited, woo!) was one band that was on rotation in my CD player for a long time. They’re straight up badass women who prove stereotypes are wrong when it comes to the idea of women being “fragile” and “weak”, especially in the rock world known as the “boy’s club”. They’ve made so many shocking headlines (I was going to insert a link, but they’ve had so many shocking moments that there are too many moments to single out just one moment from one link…what?). They basically had a lot of “unlady-like” 🙌 moments. Okay, I’ll stop with the “air quotes”.

Tie Dye Shirts

Tie Dye Shirts

A few years ago, my brother decided he wanted to tie dye a bunch of his shirts just for the heck of it. No reason at all. He goes through weird phases every so often.

Of course he got tired of having these shirts and offered them to me before he got rid of them. I can’t say no to tie dye so I took them.
Knowing me, I tried to come up with plans to change these up and maybe even put them in my shop. I didn’t have intentions of keeping them for myself as my closet is already filled with clothes.
I kinda winged it, but I had the thought that the first plan was to take the sleeves off and do a swap with other fabric.

My Art School Outcome

Posted on

Art Supplies Flat Lay

Everybody has something to say about art school, whether they were an attendee or not. It’s viewed as a joke from outside perspectives, and it’s even kind of viewed as a joke from inside perspectives.

Here’s the thing, every school produces a different experience. It can even become a different experience for people attending the same school. People handle the stress and pressure differently, and I have witnessed cliques formed as well as lone wolves consistently going it alone. There’s no way to determine what school is the best to attend because it depends on what professors are on the current roll call, and your possible classmates that will be suffering through school with you. Art students are thought as “stuck up hipsters”, and while some may be, there’s a chance you’ll come across some keepers that you’ll include in your daily doings. You can’t really ever know what to expect.

Family Doppelgängers

Posted on

When I was in Greece, I couldn’t help but take advantage by asking family about stories from my parent’s youth. Accompanied with the stories were old photo albums that were loaded with photos I’ve never seen before. I’ve only seen my dad’s baby photo and his army photo when he was in his early twenties. Those two and that’s it, so it was a treat to see more than just those two photos.

Of course, there were a few gems that stood out that made me think “he/she looks like [insert name]” and I created little collages since I got a kick out of it.
It’s not very hard to entertain me.
