Scratching

what inspires me....clean and odd inspires me. not the odd that is scary but the odd that is eye-catching. twyla tharp is my new favorite author. i mean the way she describes things is phenomenal. the words and ideas, notions that i have trouble defining or even attest that there is no formal definition to, tharp just goes and writes about it and knocks it on the head. 

scratching is totally what i do. for example, as this blog can tell, when i walk into the store anthropologie i see. I just see. 

I see things that are clean, bright, odd, inspiring, new, fresh. i see things things and begin to scratch. i dig in the store, i read a page of a book, i look closely at the ascessories and the bedspreads. then i take and think. i look and rummage. it comes to me then. a cleaner version of a hodgpodge of ideas. its a beautiful process and scratching in itslef inspires me. it is my creative food. 

my role models are two people....

my brother. my brother is amazing in that he sets his mind to something and accomplishes it. he went to u of i and decided after 4 years of working around the states with GE, he wanted to go to one of the best schools to get his MBA. he studied his butt of and got into the University of Chicago, Graduate School of Business. He graduated from there and decided to work in a field that without prior experience (which he didnt have at the time), he is now working for.

i lived with this girl my freshman year and she is a very unique person. she is bubbly, charismatic, intelligent, and most of all fun to be around. she is moral, grounded and warm. everyone she comes into contact to  remembers her and is drawn to her!

a film i admire.....10 things i hate about you. i think its so amazing because it invokes an emotion of youth, love, struggle, and acceptance. i think the idea of opposites, color, nastalgia are definately things that i want to bring to my work!!!
