A Little Bit of Magic

20130805-20130805-_MG_0978

On Monday afternoon I headed to Midtown to met up with couple of people at PolyEsther's Costume Boutique. We were picking out things for me to wear later that night. At around 5pm I was sitting in a chair back stage at Good Luck Macbeth getting makeup and hair done. Within the hour I was totally transformed from plain old me, into a fairy princess.

What the heck was I up to? I jumped in at the last minute as the model for Dr. Sketchy's Anti-Art School. See if your community has a chapter. This is a great way to get out there and draw, paint, doodle, and sketch. The theme for the evening was the work of James Jean. Modeling was really fun and look at these amazing doodles that came out of the evening! I used the two twenty minute sessions to really just sit and be calm. It was like a meditation, I would totally do it again if the opportunity should present itself. 

Some of the amazing sketches of me from last night. James Jean was the artist inspiration. #drsketchysantiartschool #doodles #artist #art #reno

Film Friday

Inspired by the talent over at Mortal Muses earlier this week, I decided to take myself out and about on the town. I put the Minolta (35mm slr), the Yashica (120 tlr), the Polaroid (pull apart film) and the Canon (dslr) into the back pack. 
I made sure I had film in all of them and the flash card was empty, batteries were charged, that I have the gorilla pod and the remote, just in case I felt like doing a self portrait, and off I went.

Here is My One Hour Story.....

I took myself on a little walk in the fantastic and evolving  Midtown District of Reno.

And tucked away coffee shops and of course, tattoo parlors galore.

So many amazingly good eateries and micro-brews to enjoy.
 I love seeing my city grow and evolve.

And now, I want to move into the hood and feel like an urban-ite in the biggest little city that I call home.
