January is International Creativity Month

Happy January! Here I go again, setting goals for the year, both personal and professional. This year I’m trying something new. Instead of making a list of resolutions that will all be broken by the end of January, I’m picking one word that will guide me throughout the year. My word for 2013 is CREATE.
Did you know that January is International Creativity Month? Perfect timing for me and my word of the year. We all have creative ideas, the trick is to go for it, don’t let the fear of doing something wrong or silly hold you back.

‘If you hear a voice within you say, ‘You cannot paint,’ then by all means paint, and that voice will be silenced.’ – Vincent Van Gogh

In honor of International Creativity Month, I’ve been trying to do more calligraphy and hand lettering. I’ll post some of my creations here. Stay tuned! What are you doing for International Creativity Month?

Mint Green Is The New Black

I’ve always been partial to green. But my new favorite color is mint green. It’s very versatile, goes with everything and can be found everywhere.

Lyrics Art – I Wanna Be Sedated

This lyric art print is inspired by 1970’s and 80’s punk band The Ramones.

Trivia Time!

"I Wanna Be Sedated" was named one of Rolling Stone's 500 Greatest Songs of All Time (#145).
National Public Radio included the song in the "NPR 100" - the one hundred most important American musical works of the 20th century.
The Ramones were ranked the second-greatest band of all time by Spin magazine (the Beatles were number 1).
The Ramones were inducted into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame in 2002.

Unfortunately the Ramones have disbanded and three of the original founding members are gone too soon. But you can find their songs on Spotify, iTunes or YouTube if you don’t already have it in your music collection!

i ♥ letterpress

As you may have noticed, I’ve been having a lot of fun with Illustrator and Photoshop lately. My latest masterpiece is the result of following Pugly Pixel’s tutorial on creating a letterpress effect using Adobe Photoshop (www.puglypixel.com). This is a really nice look. I’ll have to use it in future projects.
