I neeeed inspirationnn!!!

So I'm getting to the point where I don't know how to present my concentration in artwork.....I have so much frustration and anger built up (probably mostly from not knowing what to do for my pieces) inside but how do I put it out on canvas/paper/whatever for the world to see?
Help! I need some advice!

Happy Presidents' Day!

Hope everyone had a great 3 day weekend! We've even had great sunny weather, what a plus! 

The Civil War basketball games were so intense, good job to all the players! Besides attending those games, I went on a treasure hunt at the Goodwill Bins and everything at Value Village was 50% off today wooh! What a eventful weekend!

Voodoo Too!!! om nom nommm

I had a very eventful weekend but I've got to say...the best part of it was going to voodoo doughnuts! I'm sure most of you guys go to the one in downtown more often, but that one was more crowded than usual so the girls and I hit the one on NE Davis. For those of you who haven't been to that location, I would definitely recommend it! It has a ping pong table, a photobooth, jukebox, game machines, and actual tables to sit at unlike the other location! They even had a voodoo doll made out of ivy in the parking lot! I got the Maple Bacon Bar, Grape Ape (fave!), and Chocolate Coconut doughnuts....it was all worth the 40 minute wait haha! Check it out!

January Concentration Pieces

Alright, so the picture quality is not all that great...but I hope you guys get em nonetheless.

It's graphite drawings on watercolor! My concentration is how people cope with anger and frustration.

New Year, Finally a New Post!

Soo it seems as though I haven't updated my blog in a few weeks...oops! But I hope everyone's winter breaks were amazing and you're keeping up with your new year's resolutions. Mine was to work out every day and guess how long THAT lasted.....one day :P
My time in Japan was amazing though; I spent a lot of time with old friends, family, and shopping like crazy! Here are some of my favorite moments:

My Cousin and his nephew in his new Superman outfit :)

My sassy grandma got tired of me taking pictures of her hehe

I just find this hilarious! 10am on a train...guess someone had a rough night...

Ah the city lights and busy streets...this is my home!

I'm sitting at the PDX airport right now, waiting for my flight to Japan. Since I won't have internet access or a phone there (I know, I'm cut off from the world!) I thought I'd update my blog before I left :)
I'm so exited to go back to my hometown, Tokyo! There's so much to do there...if you keep a bucket list, I urge you to put visiting Tokyo on there. My plan is to see my friends from elementary school, shop A LOT, sleep, eat the best food in the world, celebrate new year's (biggest holiday in Japan!) and work on art of course ;) I'll have tons of stories and pictures to share once I get back, but for now here's a tiny pictorial tour of my favorite things:

Shibuya, the busiest crosswalk in Tokyo and the absolute center of the night life and shopping!

Takeshita Dori of the Harajuku District - all those black specs are people! It's crazy crowded and it's one of the cheapest and coolest places to shop.

Design Festa - My absolute favorite art gallery in the back streets of Harajuku. Artists can rent rooms to feature their work - so  cool!

Ahoy!

Here's my super low quality, last minute picture of me and my dad with the AP Art poster...woot! Thanks daddy, for supporting us! :)
