The Most Poetic Instructions Ever Received

I received a custom order recently with some of the most inspired instructions I’ve ever gotten from a client. I’m compelled to share them with everyone.

How about an 8 x 10 – I’ll frame it with a four inch border.

It can be busy, filled. Symbolic.

I’ll make it airy via framing.

We have a month until the big day. No sweat. Let’s have have fun. I am :)

Just play when the moment hits.

The collages you do are great. This is your take on the bare minimum information. I have no expectations. Period.

Choose just a few of the clues I gave you and RUN, blow BUBBLES, and trust.

I do!

Thanks, Dawn. Now that’s the way to start off a creative partnership.

My First Interview

Jewelry maker, blogger, friend and now a proud owner of a few Beach Cities pieces, Brandi of BrandiGirlBlog surprised me with a request for an interview. Here’s an excerpt …

In the way that most things happen online (meaning I clicked and clicked and have no idea how I got there, but I’m grateful I did), I stumbled across Dave Conrey’s shop, BeachCities, and I was blown away. Filled with lush digital collages, his love of California, the ocean, and surf culture shines through every piece. Coupled with quotes and text, the back story of each print captivates me just as much as the visuals do (especially this oneFlatline tugged at me).

Check out the rest of the interview for more. Brandi also makes some neat jewelry pieces, so check out her shop on Etsy too.
