AMAZING Artist

As of late, I have been working on building up a bit of an art collection. How fancy of me, right? Well the first girl that I went to was this chick, Amber Seegmiller.

A couple of years ago, I was in an art class and we were learning about blind eye contour, basically drawing stuff while you're looking at it, instead of your drawing. I fell so in love with it, and what do you do when you fall in love with someone/something? Google it. Yup. So I googled it to see pictures of blind eye contour drawings, and good ol' Amber had some of hers posted on her blog. I looked around it and was just blown away by her work. I really do love it. And I've been watching her work change and grow for the last couple of years.

Finally, when a painting showed up in her Etsy shop that just felt right I decided to go for it. And I'm so happy that I did! You should check out her art, it's amazing. Here are a few of my favorites:

This is a photo of an entire series she did called Vanity

Anyway, you can see that if you haven't been ogling her artwork for a long time, you need to start. Now. Visit her Tumblr. Buy some art. Make your walls happy.

music review

W h i t e   E l e p h a n t

Playing their first show as the band White Elephant (formerly known as Marina And Some Boys)  last saturday at The PigPen, Marina Tijerino, Jeff Andrus, Sean Roylance and their latest member to the band, Spencer Rich played a great show pleasing the ears of Pleasant Grove Utah with their cool blues/rock style. Influenced greatly by The Deadweather, Jack White, Radio Head and The Black Keys. Covering the songs "Seven Nation Army" by the White Stripes, "I've Got Mine" by t he Black Keys and recently recording their own song "Spirals" they have developed their new sound over the course of a few months and have been using the recording time they won during Battle of The Bands at Timpanogos Highschool in the late spring, with their former bassist Jude Hall(Big Red). I'm excited to hear more music from White Elephant, you should expect to see them play local shows over the next couple months,Support White Elephant by adding their Facebook page, also check out their videos from the PigPen show and pictures of Spencer Rich enjoying a bowl of egg salad, hurry! before it's too late!

I made a hipster mad.

Isn't that like killing a unicorn? Anyway, here's the story.

I work at the local mall, and we sell these glorious little things called Pillow Pets. Hipsters LOVE to love them, ironically of course, and a couple of them made their way over to my kiosk.

One of them looked like Mel Brooks! Like a taller, mustached Mel Brooks. So much so that I was moved to tell him that! He was NOT happy, for some reason. I think he might have not actually known who Mel Brooks is. Anyway, he huffed and said, "Um, okay. Well, have a good night?", raised his eyebrow at me and walked away.

Yeah, so, that was what happened to me today.

This is the ol' hipster at the Green Tea kiosk.
