Graffiti

As to be expected when moving into a new house, the last few weeks have been crazy!  Last Friday I finally finished painting the studio/office and unpacked all my artsy fun-ness!  It feels really great to have a space to create! When I'm not busy with yard work and other such housely duties I have been readin' up on graffiti.  I've always been attracted to this style of art.  Graffiti is messy and raw and in your face.  Oh and the colors!!!  Sooo many gloriously gnarly colors! 

Here are a couple of books I've been inspired by lately.

GRAFF: The Art & Technique of Graffiti by Scape Martinez

This book is more of a how-to.  Scape provides tons of graphic info on the basics of graffiti while providing tidbits of graffiti history.

Graffiti Women:  Street Art from Five Countinents by Nicholas Ganz and Nancy MacDonald

This book is just straight-up inspiring.  There is sooooo much great art from all across the world, by women of diverse backgrounds. 

Feel da flow.  Rock wit it.

i heart cornhole!!

I just moved into a new house almost a month ago and have been super busy unpacking, cleaning, painting walls, moving furniture around...blah blah blah.  whew!  I am super pumped because I just finished painting my super rad little studio room!  I can't wait to get things organized and out of boxes so I can get my art on!

Since I haven't done much creating due to the cardboard castles, I thought I'd share a project I completed just before the move.  This project was inspired by an online class I took with Alisa Burke called Graffiti Chic.  First online art class I've ever taken and it was such a blast!!  I highly recommend this class to anyone at any level of artistic ability.  Unleash your wild creative side!!

i heart cornhole!!!

My first dabbling with graffiti and the impromptu kitchen table studio!

Happy Pre-Friday Friends!!

Share-a-Laugh Monday

Laughing is one of my most favorite things to do....especially on Mondays!!

Crab-Gut Jelly

Crab-Gut Jelly...eww...GROSS...or is it!?

The CGJ concept:

Life presents one with a gazillion opportunities. Some opportunities are easy and fun and just fit, while others are scary and perhaps a smidge intimidating... [Insert Crab-Gut Jelly].  By Crab-Gut Jelly I mean that I am getting ready to bite into something that I have never tried in my life! Something that is a bit intimidating and a bit scary, but something that has the potential to be the best thing I have ever tasted! There is no way of knowing unless I take that bite. Thus, I have decided to take a big ol' bite of that Crab-Gut Jelly! Ok...well perhaps it might just be a nibble.

Crab-Gut Jelly for me is starting this blog and the beginning of my adventure to further develop ‘Megan the Artist’ and perhaps ‘Megan the Online Artist!!’ I haven’t focused entirely in one medium yet because there are so many out there that I love and that is where Sprinkles of Creativity comes in! Since I see myself as random and spunky and always attracted to bright colors and donuts with sprinkles the title is quite fitting. My intention for this blog-diggity is to have a place for my muse to huck ideas, thoughts and inspirations.

Megan and the Donut:

A Delicious Adventure!!

Welcome to my adventure!!!  Feel free to share your thoughts and comments!!  Have a frickin' fantastic FRIDAY!
