traveling addiction

shooting out of the runway
up through the stratosphere
through clouds, cumulus clouds
my thoughts race as i peer down to the
viens of the land that appear from
passing water year after year
up and away
to a place i've only seen in books
my life won't be the same and my
brain will never be able to find the words
to portray how i feel, what i see, what i know
reach out to touch..what? don't know. and i just smile

.euphoria.

yellow leaf

i know what its like to live your life
just hanging out in the sunshine
blowing in the wind
soaking up the rain

i know how happy you are
from the moment you spring to life
through the warm, bright months
you are vibrant, you are green, you just live

i know what its like once everything changes
and the sun doesn't hang out as much
the wind isn't so nice
and the rain is frigid

i know how you feel when your friends can't take it
when they want to just leave
most of them do
but not you

i know what it's like to want things how they were
but they just won't
so even as you try to hold on to your color
it slips away

i know what it's like to be that yellow leaf...

it was an artsy nite

it was a thursday night and i felt the urge of art take over me. it could have to do with the fact that i was tired of doing stuff in my room. it poured over into the evening and it was fun stuff with maxi and kelly.


so this first one i call it 'people' for the simpleness of the people. i found this canvas that i painted a while ago that got messed up and i left it alone. i decided that i should try to do something with it. so i went and found real people and put them on this canvas. i think the thing that actually saved this picture is the leaves that i put on it.
here is another picture to try to see the texture of it. i realized i like mixed media art. i think that is what i can do thats why ;)




so this one was kind of my "oh i can be an artsy MoMa artist" and i was just making whatever. after i was done i realized that i kinda like it. i figured with the right lighting in some fancy museum, people would think it is deep. can't really see the crackle in it :(
so maxi was painting an acrylic tatoo on my back and i was just sitting there and this little guy came along. i gave it to robin for her birthday


i painted a tree on maxi after i painted on her dress. it was cool trust me

and yeah maxi did this thing. it was freakin sick!



i tried to take a picture of her and snapped this little thingy. i like it


during my photo shoots this little guy came along too. coolness

i like artsy nights. i think i might have another one soon :)

out in life...

out in life we see beautiful things. i tried to capture some...

a classic one of home. one beautiful night after i was done surfing at kewalos

this was a pathway in a park in cambridge. i think this is such a freakin rad path. it looks so nice when the light shines through the leaves and creates the shadows on the ground.

this was in a secret garden that we found. i love it! my favorite trees. the weeping willow over this incredible pool of water :)

mr. potato bug on a paper tree. so simple. so cool...

this came out way better than i thought it would. i think since the way that i focused it. it was in the botanical garden in cambridge.

hanging out the car window in connecticut. such a beautiful day...

BEST FOR LAST!! my favorite picture of a spiderweb. i love spiderwebs but they are usually so hard to capture. but this one was amazing!!

this is me.. under a tree...

purple hair

i call this series purple hair. this was in new york. here is how it goes...


i think that this is my favorite. i love how there is just the lighting and the busy street lights. and purple hair just clear in the little corner. this is grand central station and the crystler building

purple hair and monet. in MoMa. on target fridays which means that it is free after 4. i think that is cool.



purple hair in the light. she looks so cute. trying to read the sign.




where oh where is the purple hair...




that is my mini purple hair series. to be continued...

shadow of emotions

there was a grey cloud filled celing a little too close to my head
as i stumbled along the road in my black treads
while my eyes focused down low
the corner of the crumbling brick building showed the tip of a shadow

a shadow? from where?
i tried to put my FOOT on why it was there

i decided i KNEEded to find its source

so i followed the SEX LINES up the pavement in a convoluted course

--
as i fingered Bach on my HIP i tried to understand
how to organize the thoughts i had at HAND

...
to see a shadow like this
during this thick mist
i am very confused on how it could exist
could it be happiness?, no that would be a twist
...

walking with my thoughts i accidently tripped

on the PIKO in the ground that i inadvertenly kicked

i searched for a way to get up on my own
thats when i reached for the COLLAR BONE
brushed myself off and fixed my hair

i hope that no one saw how i got there

i looked at the shadow one more time
this time it was a bit more defined
so i kept walking along on this trek
as i held my left hand up by my NECK

i suddenly stopped and moved my focus from down to top

which brought my stride to a sudden stop

i quickly shielded my EYES from the light

as i managed to make out what was in sight

at this moment, my heart did glow
as i looked at the one who made this illusory shadow
so now i know
that in his arms is where i shall go

written for a friend...

my friends inspire me

so i decided to put an artsy blog thing. the other one is my adventures. i think i will only tell a few people about this. as in meike and jon. and maybe if i make some other worthy friends ;)

here is the only thing that i have a picture of what i made. i painted it for jon ching and my dad is going to use it for the cover of his cd. i think that is cool.

dont expect too many frequent updates ;)


i forgot that i made another wave picture. it was like the one that i gave jon ching for his birthday present, but this was for my friend ben. i think i just really like the colors of the water and the sky. i need to learn how to make something else ;)
