Twitter

Well I did it! I just set myself up with a Twitter account. Not sure how much I will actually use it. I tell you social media, there is lots! I am not sure if I will be able to keep up with all of it realistically. Maybe it will be nice to go just check things out every now and then, but not be on any one of them on a regular basis.

On another note; 

So I was at the mall today...needed to exchange my sons new snickers, we bought them 2 weeks ago and there is already a hole in it! Not even skateboarding season...imagine....anyway, I digress...so I saw this really nice belt and very cool socks. I know, simple accessories but both were so fun. The belt looks something like this;

I realized I really like old fashion cartoon images. I like the bright colours they used. The images were not necessarily simple images. In fact, I would say the Spiderman and Superman cartoons were pretty complex illustrations. Lots of details I think. These were the kind of cartoon books that I could look at for a long time, cause there was lots to look at in each square. Not a variety of colours, mostly just primary and secondary colours, but lots of images within one frame.

I'll have to keep that in mind in when doing my next painting. I'd like to paint something with lots of hidden images or just lots of things to look at, on that same canvas. 

I'm really drawn to these old fashion cartoons. I have a Wonder Woman mug that I justified the purchase by telling myself it would give me Woman Power when I drink out of it! Hey whatever works!

This is my Wonder Woman mug.

I'm attracted to the colour combinations, those reds and blues, bright green all outlined in black. That's probably why I love Pop Art. Andy Warhol's Marilyn series and the Campbell soup collection. For me, these combinations of colours read; Fun, Playful, No worries. Just look at this image....fun or what? I would so wear that!  Except I don't really wear heals...But so fun!

My daughter has these, she said one day she will wear them to gym class when they do lots of running! I think that is a great idea!

I need to start painting smaller I think cause I have so many ideas. I think it would be a reasonable way to get to do all of them. 

For now, I observe cartoons.....
