Without a doubt I am a huge fan of Harrison Howard. Not only because he creates these absolutely gorgeous pieces of art, but because he has a kind and warm thing to say to everyone. What first caught my eye about Harrison's art is, naturally, the color. I love his color choices, they are bright and cheerful. But, what really captured my eye is his imagination. I am a huge fan of romance and fantasy, anything that gets you daydreaming and having creative thoughts, and that is what happens to me when I look at these paintings. For me, Harrison's paintings tell a story, a
fairytale of sorts. I love it if a piece of art can take me away from reality even if it's just for a moment. Thank you Harrison for sharing your talent with us! If you are interested in capturing more of his artwork, visit his
website. Also, if you'd like to find out more about Harrison himself,
Annechovie had a one on one interview with him.
Jason Weinbeck is one amazingly talented man. I know this because I've seen his work first hand. Jason was recently written about in the Mpls St.Paul Magazine. Jason is indeed a very creative individual. He is creative in his use of materials, ways to save money and his overall design. Take for instance, the backsplash tile in the kitchen. Evidently, the tile that looks like narrow brick is expensive. So Jason took floor tile and cut it into smaller dimensions. A lot of his materials are found from shopping on Craig's List and some on E-bay. Those beautiful light fixtures were bought off of E-bay and shipped from the Netherlands for a mere $190. Jason did need to put a little work into them by updating the wiring. His talent doesn't stop there. He also designs and creates furniture. View his products here.

Born in Toronto, Canada, Julie Moon has spent nearly a dozen years going to various art schools. I think Julie Moon has taken a very creative approach to making ceramics. I enjoy her style and use of color. See more at 
I don't know what it is, perhaps because Fall is here but, I really feel like staying home and doing some type of art and craft projects. Something that would be quick and easy like these kitchy light plates. If you like these and aren't in the mood to make them yourself, you can purchase them on etsy at the 
How cute are these? I just love them. These little dolls are so creative. I love the color, pattern and style choices that Heather choses when creating her dolls. By trade Heather is an illustrator. But when she makes dolls, she gives it all over attention. Each doll is made completely by hand and includes a hand drawn one of a kind tag. You can view more of her creations on her 
From a technical point of view, this software is impressive. They have created software to pull in images, create layers and dynamically implement the text that you have entered into one graphical image. And it is somewhat of a fun tool for playing. However, it is a little slow and produces mediocre results. But, it is free and if you play with it long enough, you may just get the results in which you are seeking. Play around, let me know what you think. 
I came across a new website with some free brushes for Adobe Photoshop. Check it out. 
Ohhhh, how I love to daydream about places like this. "Mr. Wood, a 79-year-old Boston architect, bought the house with his ex-wife Joan in 1961 for $3,600. It had been empty for two decades." This house has 10 bedrooms with a view. The homeowners have come up with an ingenious way to maintain the property. They have a 'work' weekend by inviting 70 people over who are lovers of their home to come help with things like ohhhh, washing 65 windows. What a great idea.

How fun would it be to be driving through the country side and seeing these paintings? I would like this much better than billboards. In Minnesota, we have a ton of old abandoned barns that are just
