ORANJE

Hey everyone!! Just wanted to let you know that there are some exciting things coming up for the month of September. The biggest and coolest thing is that I will be participating in ORANJE, an interactive art and music experience, downtown Indy. I will be showing my work and hopefully selling some art and making new connections. So if you have time and want to check out some art mark September 20th down... and sorry for those of you with kids, it is a 21 and over event. So like Maya and I you will need to find a babysitter.

Cheers. Have a great weekend!!

Maya Laurent Photography

Congrats honey!!! Here is a link to Maya's new photography blog. Go and check it out.

Latest painting...

Here is my latest painting. Just finished it over the weekend. Inspired by our trip to London.

The Greatest Band is Back...

As most of you know I am a huge Coldplay fan. Their new album is out next week on the 17th. I can't wait, I have listened to most of it and they are branching out with their sound.

Here's to music that moves you.

Cheers.

Where have I been?

Hey all, if anyone really stills visits this blog.

Life with me and the family has been quite nuts. Keeping up with Zane, Maya starting her own business and me balancing work and painting has us basically just floating these past few weeks. The weeks have been flying by but they have been fun and exciting as well.

Zane is getting huge and is basically running now and his personality is showing up little by little each day. It is the coolest thing to watch. I love being a dad.

Like I said Maya is starting her own photography business. I am so proud of her and I can't wait to see how it evolves. She is beginning to make some contacts and get her name out there. I guess the only thing that would help that would be a new logo, guess who gets to do that and of course she needs it yesterday. Ha.

As for me work is good. It's really starting to challenge me which is cool. So we shall see how that progresses. On the painting side I am almost done with a new one. At the end of the month I am going to submit my work to a show, so hopefully that will work out. I'm just ready for people to see my work. Its been sitting too long in my house. I want people to enjoy it.

Finally, the video at the top is from the artist Justin Nozuka. Maya and I watched his set from SXSW when it was on TV. He has an amazing voice and his music just cuts right threw you. I hope you enjoy.

Here's to staying consistent with the blog thing.

Cheers.

Relax and fun.

As most of you have probably already read, Maya and I had a wonderful night last night. We just sat on the couch and drank some wine and talked. It was great and reminded me alot of when we first started dating and just hung out at Ball State. We had a ton of things to do but we both decided to just sit and devote time to each other. Brilliant night and I hope we have more of them.

On another note here is a pic of a tshirt design I did last week. At work we took a few hours and just played to be creative. It was very refreshing and helped keep our energy up.

Is spring here yet?

Cheers.

Mini Update: We have a month to go and we are up to 11 miles in one run. Yikes. Because of all this running I have lost 14 pounds so far. That is a nice bonus other than my main focus of getting healthy for the family.

Wheels on the Bus.

Well as most of you know now Maya has taken a new job. Because of the move we are now not able to drive together downtown. So I am all by myself. But a very cool thing just started a couple of weeks ago that they are now having a bus service from carmel to downtown.

Perfect.

Well this morning was first experience with it and it was great. I didn't have to worry about traffic or any other craziness on the road. I just put my headphones on and listened to one of my favorite podcasts. After getting downtown I have a 20 minute walk to my office. It really wasn't that bad and as most of you know I really like observing things and this short walk was great for that. From walking through the park and crossing many streets there was plenty to watch. Plus, we are saving on gas.

Here's to public transportation.
Cheers.

Newest Addition

So here is my latest creation. The inspiration came from a photo I took in London while riding the tube. After doing this piece I have decided to do a series from our trip to London and a series from Paris. So be on the lookout for more new paintings. Hope you like it.

Cheers.
