Art School:Life School:Art Life?

So, I've lost myself in this blog abyss. It's new to me. Never gave it much thought, mostly due to laziness. After digging around for the past two days, what are most appealing to me are these "mood board" type entries.

The effect a photograph, drawing or any aesthetic really, can have on your day is impressive to say the least. A picture can make you want to be a better person and though that moment is fleeting, it happens. If only there was a way to feel like that all the time maybe I'd get something done.

So, the search begins/continues. If I could make everything around me look a certain way (within reason) maybe I'll be inspired to do something/figure out what I want to do with myself.

I'd like to say that I'll start today but that's just completely unreasonable.

Doesn't this just make life look a lot easier than it really is?

In what world is anything this simple?
Just finding a way to hang this shelf so it's strong enough to support ITSELF sounds exhausting.

It's like how I buy Real Simple magazines to simplify and organize my life but the only thing that happens is I end up with Real Simple magazines all over my floor that I don't have the heart to throw away.

Never the less, a beautiful design.
I'm sure other people are far more capable of making something like this work.

If you're one of those people, please call me.

Ok guys, heres the deal

We haven't had time to update at all but we just posted some pictures.
As you can tell, my phone has pretty much been off the entire trip.

The Beginning is Starting to End

A wise man once told me, "never trust a man who wears suspenders and a belt, he can't even trust his own pants". Well, I don't think he was wearing a belt but for story sake, I did and he drove me to Portland, Maine which I've already found to be a town I could easily call home.

After spending a beautiful weekend in the Berkshires with the Fiori's, I boarded the Thorne van and caught a ride north to see one of my favorite people in the entire world, Mr. Andrew T. Lyman and his beautiful Mamma, Connie. I was also pleasantly surprised to find the mysterious rogue tutor, Jake Cholak, recently returned (with a dual citizenship possessing wife) from an extended motorcycle ride through Asian lands.

Yesterday the Lymans and I had an afternoon adventure to Great Diamond Island. We walked for a couple of hours never actually reaching our destination (a rental house) but finding a beautiful restaurant over looking the water. There are few things I like more than a fairy ride so I was in heaven until the day got even better... One of Andy's many new and amazing friends prepared a lobster (among other delicacies) feast for us! I haven't had lobster in months and this guy was perfect!
