* Random Find of the Day *

I was just browsing the internet and came across this adorable dead sea scrolls bowtie. I have a thing for unique bowties, and this one is super cute.

* Finding your path *

My theme of this year is change. I have made some very big changes this year, and am in the middle of one currently. I recently moved myself and one large suitcase of my valuables (clothes, shoes, and computer) to Boulder, CO, where I currently reside in a rented room. I sleep on a hard, twin mattress on the floor and I wake up some mornings thinking "what the hell am I doing?".

Change is good, change is necessary, and change is HARD. Luckily, I am surrounded by people who help remind me that what I'm doing is exactly what I need to be doing right now. I have faith that the path I choose will eventually get me to my destination, even if I am unsure. All I have to do is keep walking.

* On My Day Off *

I rarely have full days off from work, so I try to make the most of the ones I have. Plus, with this crazy warm weather for New England, it seems the perfect time to go for bike rides by the ocean.

I think about the things I'll miss once I move out west, and freezing cold bike rides by the atlantic ocean are oddly one of them. Although once I take really warm bike rides by the pacific ocean, I might get over it pretty quickly.

* Inspired: Egon Schiele *

As an artist, it is hard to have a constant flow of inspiration. I have certain go-to's that will automatically inspire me to get back into my creativity. One happens to be Egon Schiele, my favorite artist. I love how he captures the rawness of humanity in his strokes, and the distortion of his figures allows the viewer to connect to the reality of imperfection. At the same time, you can't help but find his figures beautiful.
