New pyrographic artwork!

Ja, it’s been a long while since I posted.

I’ve had my nose to the grindstone and been busting at the seams a bit. Enough so that I finally said, *enough* and took some time to finish up a pair of twin art pieces that had been hanging around, waiting patiently. So, here they are, long suffering but lovely (if I do say so myself)!

Coachella 2009 – Day 1

Lisa — Sat, 18 Apr 2009 04:38:21 +0000

Today is the first day of the 3-day Coachella Valley Music Festival!!! I’ll be posting about it over the next few days so if it’s of interest to you, check back for updates. Right now, I’m watching the Silversun Pickups and really enjoying their kick-ass-ness!!! They are one of those bands whose music grew on me over time. One of the acts I SOOO wanted to see was M. Ward, but traffic was disastrous and we missed both him and the Black Keys. On the bright side, we checked out a DJ set by “Peanut Butter Wolf” just because of his name (how could we not?!?) and he was AWESOME! Hip-hop mash-ups of the most excquisite kind. My fave was a Notorious B.I.G. & Herb Alpert mix. I know. Crazy. I danced with joy and abandon.

We also saw some of Leonard Cohen’s set which was so lovely. I saw a documentary on him a while ago and he seems to be a great example of a wizened artist who has lived bravely and chosen to work within integrity and an inspiring creative flow.

Heading over to watch Paul McCartney now. More later…

If you live in the Phoenix area and you haven’t been to the monthly First Friday Artwalk, this Friday (April 3) is your chance! It’s a huge artwalk made up of galleries, artist’s studios, restaurants/bars and street vendors. I won’t be selling my art there but I will be attending. Good times!! First Friday »

Chihuly: The Nature of Glass at Desert Botanical Garden in Phoenix. I went to see this exhibit recently and it was AWESOME. I’ve seen other exhibits of Chihuly’s glass artwork and every time I am inspired anew. This was especially cool because we went right around dusk and so saw the glass pieces at night. The lighting and dramatic effect was fantastic. I enjoyed it very much and I have no doubt it stoked my creative fires in all kinds of good ways!
