Blog #38: Run in with the Cops = I know the Streets. Word? Word.

Obviously, according to my spoof character, Mac Thinh (you can see this on our Kollaboration Houston website by going to www.kollaborationhouston.org), and my monthly run-ins with the cops (ok, so monthly starting as of 2010), I think I've grown to know the "streets" a bit more and now think that I am an expert in it.

Anyway, all kidding aside, I am tapping back into my artsy fartsy mode.  If I get too EMO in person, someone please slap me.

With that being said, I'm starting a new art project that combines my love of Martinis and my hidden appreciation for street art - especially graffiti. It was actually inspired by a coworker who was putting on a bachelorette party for her friend and she decorated Martini Glasses for each of the girls that would be there.  Anyway, it struck me that the association of martini glasses and the association of street art would clash, and of course, I have a love for seeing things that may appear to oppose one another be combined and be worked together. I know you all hate to read everything I write, so if you need me to elaborate just call me up.

Call me silly, but I'm going to try. 

I've always sketched, have done artsy fartsy things, so I have paints and paint markers lying around, and am now trying to figure out the best type of paints that would be appropriate for glass decoration. So below is my first glass - I think I can only do like a few each week since I'm not going to be constantly buying Martini glasses...if you have some you want to donate to me, be my guest.

Plus, I'm left handed, so if anyone have any suggestions for me to not smear anything, let me know too. Unless I develop a skill for writing from right to left.
