I wanted to make a "behind the scenes" movie for a while, and it finally happened a few weeks ago. The clips were edited, the music was finished by a good friend, Jon Francis, and I finished the narration. Enjoy!<br />

Yet, with all the excitements, awards and honors, trips, insights and life stages, there are the sorrows. I haven't been able to collect my thoughts to write a post about my grandfathers. One of them I lost back in February; the other is living his last moments.<br />
<br />
I only have two home movies from when I was a child- my first birthday, and a trip to Disney world around 1990. I paused it at a certain scene, my grandfather holding me, looking up at me with such admiration. He loved being a father and a grandfather. I loved listening to his stories, and this moment is one I'll keep dear to my heart.<br />

Since a GoodWill just opened down the road from my home, it's become my go-to place for certain items I would have normally purchased at a flea market, so I miss out on those random thrifty or antique items I'd get browsing the tables.<br />
<br />
Daimon and I had a free Sunday, so we made our way to the Golden Nugget in Lambertville NJ. The first 5 minutes we were there, we bought something we've had on our list for years! Every time we see a stereoscope, it's usually well over $50. We saw on at Collingwood Flea Market for $400 with all the cards included. We got this one for $30.<br />

Well, besides that it was a weekend of doing things a little differently.<br />
<br />
Daimon and I visited my grandfather in the hospital, but we decided to make it a little more memorable for him. Daimon decided to bring the accordion and serenade him. The nurses were more than excited. Though the door was closed to not disturb other patients, we got a few visitors to see what was going on! Since he asks my grandmother every day if there was any mail, we made up a song about the mail, we got a smile out of him, which was the best part of the whole visit.<br />

On Sunday, one of my closest friends had an engagement party at IPlay America, which included free access to all the games, rides, later tag and bumper cars. I loved laser tag so much I did it twice; the second time I scored really high too! I'm glad I didn't wear light colors Sunday, since that would have made me an easier target.</div>

Two years ago, I gave Rikki and Mike a pillow with these faces printed on the fabric. It's become a funny, strange tradition to continuously give her more of these "inception" pillows. I told her to consider bringing the pillow to her wedding so we can take some bridal pics with it!</div>

The cow on the farm is only a year old and is so tall you'd be amazed she's still going to grow! She modeled my sister's bunny ears.<br />

Now that I'm on spring break, I spent a day in New York, buying some much needed pysanky supplies and working on my artwork. Here's one I plan on recreating soon with more intricacy. Happy Easter! I hope you enjoyed it, whether you have traditions or not. It's always fun to invent traditions if you don't have any. You can be the person that celebrates Easter in some weird and interesting way.</div>

My new Nikon film camera must feel very neglected. Usually this time of year I have the camera by my side, everywhere I go.<br />
<br />
I haven't been too shutter happy lately, but I have been in a few photos taken by others. I taught a class and one of my favorite authors registered. If you haven't read "Hope for the Flowers", I strongly recommend making the purchase. <br />

Over the weekend I met up with a few friends at Double Trouble State Park to enjoy the gorgeous weather. Though the photo doesn't show any smoke, most of the pictures taken that day involved a "Smoke bomb", something I'm really excited to start using in my own photography.<br />
<br />
These two girls I sit with make up most of the band Mantis Toboggan MD, and they're playing at the Saint on the 21st with Bone and Marrow. Don't miss it!<br />

Though I should save it in a file somewhere, it's going to stay in my studio until things calm down and I'm not so insanely busy. Sadly, the ukulele has also been neglected these days.<br />

I taught the art of pysanky this morning at a bug museum, and a few friends took the class, whom I'll also be playing a show with tonight. To stage the picture below, I sat down with a snake in one hand and a tarantula in the other immediately following the class I had just instructed. Bassist and saw player, Cody McCory, sat next to me and I said, "Ya know, I think my life isn't that bad." It was so funny how we had at one moment been dying eggs and the next we were taking pictures with bugs and reptiles to promote a show later that night. <div>

I was in high school the first time I ever heard the name Alex Grey. I bought up every book I could find about his artwork. I've been moved by his work for over a decade now; a print of his hangs over our bed. Daimon and I would go into New York City to participate in a few events at the COSM, and then they moved out to the country, which is what brings me to writing this blog post. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
I was invited back to the Chapel of Sacred Mirrors in Wappingers Falls NY to teach pysanky for a second spring in a row. The class was packed, and for the first time since I've been teaching the art form, it was an equal distribution of men and women! There were plenty of patterns to look at in the space for inspiration. </div>

A few friends took the class and stayed for the lecture after the workshop. The lecture was very inSIGHTful since the lecturer was an optometrist who practices chinese medicine. <br />
<br />
After the lecture, we saw some interesting wooden shapes by the fireplace, the positives of these shapes were being used in a project, but the negative shapes were too interesting to not play with. I brought one home to keep. It looks like a crop circle carved from wood.<br />

March is crazy because of how busy I've become with pysanky classes. When registration opens for any given class, the class maxes out in an hour. It's amazing; every venue has been so excited to see such an interest from their members or customers. </div>

The backseat of my car had bags and bags of donations for Ocean's Harbor House, so I spent a whole afternoon last week organizing their arts and crafts area. Not only are the bins finally labeled and old supplies have been tossed, but each of the bins have instructions and a pack of information if someone wanted to learn a skill such as knitting or embroidery. The youth shelter has received some very expensive, really good supplies and the youth deserve to have easy access to those tools when they are feeling creative.</div>

My students in Art History have been learning about the Baroque art movement, and for the first time since I've been teaching at the school I taught an experimental drawing materials workshop, so they could get messy with the vine charcoal, chalk and other materials. Both of my classes were amazed that a kneaded eraser could be so clay-like. A few of my students were so messy and challenging each other to high-fives. </div>

While it's been a very rewarding, very busy month so far, encouraging others to create their own work, I have had some time work on my own. This is an egg I'm planning to give away to the farmer who always thinks of me when he has a few goose eggs to spare. Though it's one of my favorites, I'm happy to give it to someone so generous. </div>

I purchased this bookshelf from IKEA because my art classroom needs some new storage and I wanted to use my small bookshelf for that purpose. Now I have this "dream-come-true" bookshelf with all my books in one place. Seriously, I imagined this day for many years, I should've purchased one years ago. Honestly, I'm just as excited about another purchase I made a few days ago; a rainbow prism for the window. It's amazing how intense some of the rainbow beams are in the morning. It's in the perfect spot. </div>

We had a snow day from school but no snow came. It rained all day and now I see spots of blue sky. I sat at my desk and worked to the music of Tony Appleseed from 10:30am to 4:30pm. It was the longest I had ever worked on a single pysanka, and I'm excited to say it's one of my neatest and favorite works. I had expected the colors to turn out differently, but it was a nice first attempt. One day, I do plan on revisiting this design.<br />

I could relate; my cell phone took some breathtaking photos of our trip out west and thought it'd be fun to post them. The colors are so rich and it offers a different perspective.</span><br />

When I taught my first class of the season yesterday, people were practically pushing and shoving to get downstairs to get a seat. The group of 18 women were fantastic too. I get so much pleasure from teaching pysanky; it's an understatement to say it gives me so much purpose. Most of my classes have many people of Slavic decent and they have the opportunity to share their stories with eager listeners.<br />
<br />
Here's a few images of my own recent work in the past few weeks, and an updated pysanky schedule.<br />

In one of my dreams, there was a thunder and lightning storm at Zion National Park (I must've heard the storm happening here in NJ that night while I was asleep). The clouds looked stylized, almost like japanese-inspired.<br />
<br />
It was very strange, but then, being out there was in reality pretty strange.<br />

Every endless curvy road has more to climb and explore. There were unfamiliar animals and plants in such a strange and hostile environment, and yet these places were paradoxically inviting. Daimon and I forgot we were hungry most of the time we were on vacation. We LIVED on cliff bars; I mean we ate them for breakfast lunch and dinner, but it allowed us to have an entire day in an area far from restaurants and people. There's more personal accountability out west compared to New Jersey. Abandoned places were not marked with "No Trespassing" signs, nor were dangerous roads blocked off. We NEARLY drove off the side of a cliff because it was so slippery and muddy, but no signs indicted the very dangerous terrain. We must've looked like two stupid kids having no idea what it's like to live out there.<br />
<br />
The first batch of photos I'd like to share are of us in the landscape. All of these images were captured in Utah, Nevada, and Arizona. I took the pictures of Daimon, he took the pictures of me, and we have one shot together taken with the self timer. My next post will have more images of the landscape. To say it was impressive would be an understatement.<br />

We both agreed it was the most life changing trip of our lives. It gave us such perspective and appreciation for the country we live in. We collectively took 9 rolls of film, and saw so many national and state parks I don't think I could count them on my two hands.<br />

In 24 hours we'll be in Las Vegas, just a short drive from all the sights I've been hoping to see for years. Unfortunately the lens did not come... but I got this potato in the mail instead...<br />
<br />
As you can imagine I was pretty bewildered to find a potato in my mailbox, but it was sent from one of my closest friends. <br />

In an earlier post, I made the resolution to have moments of more; to experience more thrills. The past 12 hours have been very exciting. Last night we had a gig at the Stone Pony and a photography reception at the Middletown Arts Center, both of which were very successful with strangers and friends connecting, sharing stories, and sharing their appreciation for art or music. </div>

The Stone Pony show was thrilling; we had a great set time and the you couldn't see the floor there were so many people. This morning, I checked my email and learned the pysanky class at Jerry's Artist Outlet filled in one hour after it was posted. That was the first time in their history. If I wasn't on a cloud from yesterday, I'm definitely on a cloud now! </div>
