More Arts Adventures

My favorite things about being an artist are that I get to see the work that other artists make and occasionally stumble upon interesting things where I didn't expect to find them. I get to meet great new people and see things I may not get to see in any other profession; other times I'm simply out and about with friends or family and we run into something that we didn't expect.

The first 4 images of from the awesome Beauty School Dropout show that I attended last Saturday. The show was comprised of a lot of very good friends of mine, all of whom presented lovely and wonderful work. These four stood out to me because they are 3D and focus heavily on the upper torso of a woman (that's my not juvenile way of saying "boobs"). My favorite were the chairs which had signs requesting that one not touch them... I did anyway cause I'm juvenile.

The second set is from the Saint Paul Art Crawl in September (I think). I went with my friend Meghan and we sort of stumbled into this candy colored world of bright lights and childhood nostalgia. The experience was short, but made me very happy.

The final pics are not quite like the others. One is from the Mill City Museum when I suggested to my dad that we go in order to get him away from the house so my step mom could set up his surprise birthday party. It didn't work and he figured it out immediately, but what I didn't realize until after the freight elevator tour is that we were in a museum completely dedicated to food and the making of food (they have a table made to look like a giant stack of pancakes). There are plastic replicas of food all over the place and a huge kitchen area where bakers are making a variety of different baked goods all day. I will be returning to this place at some point to take more pictures, cause this was awesome. The other is from Macy's where I stumbled upon a Cupcake themed Christmas tree; it was like my Christmas wish come true... only the cupcakes weren't real.
