Michael Weems

On my last trip to Palm Springs I was sucked into a store/gallery by a window display which included gold rings like the one pictured here. The molten gold is so on-trend, yet these are also actual art pieces by Michael Weems. There are no mould seams here. Each item is unique. I had the pleasure of meeting the artist himself and he is overwhelmingly charming, real, and sweet. The man is busy, so the best way to see/purchase his work is to visit one of his locations in person. I look forward to the day I can decorate my home with the Michael Weems Pompeii collection.

Portfolio Progress

I'm in NYC for a month to interview for jobs! It's such a crazy different life here. I'm staying with a yoga instructor in Gramercy/Flatiron and the place is really nice, so I have that balance at least, while I adjust. Following a loss of Adobe programs, I am back on my portfolio kick!

***

Lot's more to do. The only way to not get nervous about interviews is to be overly prepared! I hope they recognize my skill and like my stuff.

A junior surf company requested a work sample today so I sent them this little group:

Invisible Children

Do you know about Invisible Children? It's a charity that it worth your donation. If you stay in and watch a Netflix movie instead of going to the theater you can donate $10-20 without missing it. I sure hope someone would do it for me if I were one of these kids.

 My friend, Tanya's, fundraiser page. You're a really good person if you ask for something like this for your birthday.:
