i decided that i needed to take some things off of my overfull plate so that i can continue to stay  focused and fresh.  you might have noticed that i gave up my sunday spot over at the 2modern blog.  (i will be back after the hectic holiday season is over though).

what else keeps me fresh?  movies! the other night, i saw the darjeeling limited.  (i have a thing for wes anderson and jason schwartzman films)  the colorful scenery of india combined with the mood of the entire movie had me researching the decorative world of india- especially temple doors and entranceways .    i can’t wait to start sketching and working at the bench to a wes anderson soundtrack!
