Retro Pepsi

I actually staged this picture. I put a dollar store disco ball in my fridge to make this final result possible. I wanted to use some blue since it's Pepsi's main color but it just didn't work. I suppose if you look real close, you can see slight blue tones but not much.

I purposefully turned the can onto the French side simply because "Retro" is a better word than "Throwback". It might just be one of my favorite words.

A Break From Pictures

How would people describe your personality? (If they could only use ONE word.) Are they right?

I hear the word "unique" a lot which I would say is fairly accurate.

What celebrity/celebrities would create a “Star-Struck” feeling if you saw them in real life?

I'm pretty bad with them all. I always see fear in their eyes like I'm going to hurt them. The two names that come to mind would be Tim Burton closely followed by Johnny Depp.

What is your comfort food/drink?

Coffee and a muffin.

Do you have a strong desire to do something you’ve never done? What is it?

Every time I create, I'm doing something I've never done.

Movies: Action, Drama, Romantic Comedy, Documentary, Comedy? What are your favorite genres?

Romantic comedies are definitely my favorite movies to watch. But I try to watch a bit of everything.

Books: Fiction, Non-Fiction, Romance, Biographies, True Stories, Self-Help, Devotional/Study? What are your favorite types of reading material?

I've never been a fan of fiction. I'd rather read about someone's life or something with a lot of information.

Music: Funk, Rock, Country, Jazz, Classical, Film Score, Blues, Classic Rock, Crooner, Alternative, Heavy Metal, Techno? What are your favorite types?

My music taste comes directly from the movies I watch. Anyone who knows me knows I love me some 80's tunes. But I also love the 50's... you know... Malt Shop Memories ...

If you inherited a million dollars, what is the first thing you would do with your money?

Buy an apartment. A loft with lots of open space and one giant brick wall. After that, I would by a very comfortable bed. And of course there's always room for some new audio/visual equipment. A new camera, surround sound, etc...

If you could live anywhere at all where would you go?

I would love to live in New York City. And there's always the part of me that wants to live the Los Angeles life, if just for a while.

Strange Talent? Can you juggle basketballs, put your legs behind your head or perform some other strange feat?
I can recite movie and television quotes with amazing precision.

What’s something you consider yourself to be good at? (Don’t worry, it’s not bragging, it’s acknowledging a God given gift).

I am good at expressing myself creatively. I doodle, take pictures, photoshop, make videos... whatever I need to do.

What is one of your favorite things to catch a whiff of?

I'm torn between the smell of the spring air or freshly brewed coffee. Or I could put them together and simply say the smell of morning .The smell of a new day with all new possibilities.

When you leave a social gathering, do you wish: You would have talked more or You would have talked less?

Talk more... without a doubt. Over the years I have become reclusive and content with observing my surroundings simply because I'm so facsinated by everything. However I lose out on expieriences by not participating.

Something to work on...

If money wasn’t a factor, what stores would you shop in?

Probably any place that sells electronics. And I would probably hit some galleries for art work.

What is your greatest fear or strange phobia?

The Joker from the 1989 Batman film and by extension, I'm not a huge fan of clowns.

What is your greatest accomplishment?

I don't think I've hit it yet. On second thought, I'm quite proud of the fact that I quit bitting my nails. A small accomplishment yes, but still great.

What are your favorite animals?

I love birds very much.

Are you a hopeless romantic?

I like the idea of romance.

What movie or book character can you most relate to?

Summer.

Ginger Ale

The Death of Garfield

Singin In The Rain

Untitled Work in Progress

This is a couple hours at the computer. There is something missing where the text is but I'll figure that out eventually.

When finished, this will go into the Six Word Memoirs folder. This is one I have written myself.

Cherry Coke

As I was walking home this evening, I came across this discarded can of cherry coke. Upon approaching the can, I noticed it was a different shade of red than usual. The color looked something like what a regular can turns after sitting out in the sun too long.

I was quite excited to come across this rare item. I have always loved cherry coke but sadly, it isn't commonly sold. It still lives in the US but seems to have disappeared in Canada.

This piece is extremely similar to the one I did with the can of diet coke. I always worry about repeating myself but I've come to realize that it isn't uncommon to do so. A lot of artists create similar images to apply lessons learned from previous ones.
