Well, I fell out on color week, but tonight I am venturing out to downtown kalamazoo. I will document my color findings here in retribution.

I have been selected to be a coke pioneer. As of right now, this entails completing a number of challenges on their website. I am a little stumped for ideas on the second one, so suggestions are much welcomed! I only have iMovie to edit anything I might come up with, so tips are much loved too. Feel free to take on the challenges too. They promise much fun!

1) Something From Nothing

Turn an ordinary object into a work of art and document your process.

2) The Essence of You

Create a short film that captures the essence of you. Something you've done or want to do, a moment that changed you, or something that's just YOU.

I find myself most often at the edges of things. In the places where shapes blur and converge. I exist peripherally, absorbing and observing, recording and collecting. Someday my mind may spring a leak.

p.s. my new url is nikkitawishes.blogspot.com. I decided I shouldn't fling my last name about so much. I don't much like stalkers unless I am doing the stalking.

Today I started training for my summer job at Boys and Girls Club of America as a digital arts instructor. I'm excited to integrate traditional hands on art techniques with the digital and to get creative with the kids. I don't know the curriculum or anything yet, but I'm sure it will be fun and challenging.

Most Shadows Easily Marked

Summer is here and with it a burst of new energy and desire to CREATE! I'm starting a new daily painting project which I'm going to be updating here as well as some other artwork, sketches, photos, lists, and anything else I find inspiring. Keep a lookout.
