Huh? Who? What? Where? Always searching for some interesting new place to go, restaurant to eat at or show to see… I discovered this little gem in North Park, San Diego last Saturday on the way to an art opening. The food was wonderful, moderately priced and our Estonian waiter made this a place worth seeking out! The interior walls are all covered in hand writing and messages of all languages. In the center is a piano that a young patron was attempting to play and a large party was seated behind us… adding to the ambiance and fun. My girlfriend and I snapped pictures all through the meal. Here are just a few of my photos.

I use Paisley in my design work and have collected some nice fabrics covered in it over the years… I found this remnant at a thrift store recently and it will come in extra handy on the new bag designs I am working on! Be on the look-out!

I have been nursing a very sore arm for quite some time and had to take a break from over-using it. BUT I NEED TO MAKE ART!!! So over the past weekend I got the studio organized and pulled out my collage materials and sat down to start a project! It feels great! Making the art and my arm! Since I have been spending so much time going to galleries, museums, craft shows and taking oodles of photos, I feel so inspired to try something new. This is the VERY START of a piece I am working on… I am going to cover it in white embellishments and show it off when it’s done.
