no work art, day 4
When you don’t have a job, you run out of money. When you run out of money, you can’t buy Subway or enjoy gorging out with Food in the Hood. If this situation arises you must cook for yourself.
CULINARY ART!
Besides many PB&J’s, one of my favorite things to make is “monster up” loaf. The original recipe was taken from the back of Bob’s Red Mill Flaxseed Meal. I’ve modified it (peanut butter & chocolate chips) to make it taste slightly less fiber-tastic.
Last night Kristin and I made a fabulous rendition of the loaf, even creating our own brown sugar (regular sugar + syrup)!
Delicious. The best part is that it’s healthy and filling, downside is it only lasts a day or so. Enjoy!

no work art week, day 2
hmmm
This horoscope got me to think a little. I love working on films, though the last time I did, I proclaimed I’d never want to be a production assistant on one again due to its long hour/lack of respect/bottom rung nature. Its not all bad though. I consider myself a great P.A., you gotta love it or else you’ll get quite disenchanted with the whole thing. I just need to step up and move on is all.
A limerick fer ya.
there was a P.A. named Paddy
a fit and able young laddie
with no job he could find
went out of his mind
he grew quite old and shabby

no work art week, day 1
Not working can be a real bitch. It can also be awesome!
As a freelancer there’s always that unknown length of time between jobs that can be both restful and restless as you search for the next gig. Sometimes that time can stretch a little long, like for me right now. In these instances its important to not fret, stay productive and not lose hope.
Anyway. Instead of video gaming and playing with dogs in between job searches I thought I’d get my creative juices flowing this week, with ART!
The theme, Unemployment, in all its sorrow and glory.
Today I’m making a Potato stamp! As an Irishman, I get down on my knees and thank the heavens for the potato. It’s quite versatile and delicious- not to mention healthy. If this were 1840′s Ireland I’d probably get shot for making art out of a precious spud, but it’s not, so here I go.
found my stencil
and a healthy potato
cut in half, I finally was able to put the art on
removed excess.

Stamp on and keep hope alive dear friends.
