Christmas Tree, O Christmas Tree

Here is a pic of our little Christmas tree this year. Maybe next year we will upgrade to a bigger tree but for now we love our little tree.

Holiday Festivities

As part of this holiday season Tuck and I helped grandma finish her Christmas decorations in her grand living room. This is where my childhood family Christmas memories rest thanks to all my aunts, uncles, and cousins. I snapped some pics of my adorable grandma and grandpa in their more than festive living room.

In the Mail

Today we received a new print in the mail. The artist's name is Shepard Fairey. We have been collecting his art for a couple of years now. I have to equate him with the reason I graduated with my BA degree. The 12 page senior term paper I completed not only helped me understand his anti-propaganda views but also furthered my interest in the power of a simple message across America's "counter culture" youth. Fairey's street poster project began in NYC in the 80's and whose OBEY name in the 21st century has made a global industry. This numbered edition print, like others we have, hangs in our living room and we will continue to support the positive messages that Fairey portrays in his art projects.
