Found street art and a dumb thing

Hello, Hello!!!

Hope Tuesday has been good to everyone today.

I on the other hand did something very dumb yesterday.

I have been feeling so good and have really felt no pain in my back/neck at all!  Well, I turned my head to look at something yesterday and today I am sooo swollen and my back is really painful.  This was a not so nice reminder that I am still healing and have to be very careful.

Lucky for you dear readers since I was in pain and didn't sleep well last night I found some awesome images to share with you!

I want to introduce you to Street Art.

For those of you that don't know, this term means visual art, developed in public spaces, that is usually/never sanctioned by a group or a government.

This artwork totally blew my mind.

The original images are from Odd Stuff Magazine featuring the best found street art of 2011.


FYI:  There are no artists listed by the images, I do not no the original creator of the art or the person who took the image.  If anyone does feel free to e-mail me and I will cite it.

Aren't these amazing?!  I am particularly drawn to the image of the men walking in the puddle.  I can see them just trudging to work doing the same thing day in and day out.  I find that image to be really powerful.

Or the knitted tree?!  So cool.

Until tomorrow,

Love,

Jess

New Card on LoveUPaperly and a tired, cold, Monday

Hello all you gorgeous readers!

To tell you the truth I am pooped tonight!  I had to see the doctor this morning, worked most of the day, and then came home to crash with an icepack!

I have been working on some new cards.  I think this one is cute, look for more on LoveUPaperly.

I am OBSESSED with this cow stamp!

I don't have much else in the land of this blog right now.  Meridyth and I are planning the wedding and I have soo much work to do!  I need to start figuring out what we want the invite to say and then I need to start working on the ceremony, and hire a photographer.

Plus, school starts next week.  For those of you that don't know, I have a master's in graphic design but found my true calling accidentally when I started working for a cardiology practice.  So, now I am taking classes to hopefully apply to PA school in a year or two!  The two classes this semester are microbiology and medical terminology.

I love working all day and using the analytical part of my brain and then coming home to blog and work on my shop which is so much more artsy.

Do any of you have arty jobs and then go home and do math or work as a doctor and love to blow glass on the weekends?  I love the dichotomy of that and my life feels fuller than it has ever been.

Until tomorrow lovelies.  Yes it is 6:30 p.m. but I am going to lie down and watch t.v. with my eyes close while my body heals!

Love,

Jess
