Well, I got busy, and I just didn’t do ASMW yesterday. Which sucks. I try my best to always get that out on time. I’m not going to do one today. Mainly because it is Thursday and not Wednesday.

It was my brothers birthday yesterday as well. So I didn’t get the time to really do anything when I got home. I played about an hour of games before we took off to his house.

It was a good time. We ate some cake and Porkchop got his iPhone. We played some Taboo and a crazy dice game. It was a good time.

I have to get to work now as I was an hour late getting here because of a fire on the freeway. So much for the way being free, it was blocked.

Melissa Murphy, a.k.a. LaMissa, is on the board of North Cobb Arts League. It appears that she helped get everyone together, with the help of Anthony, for the art festival. A lot of the people that were out there are members of the NCAL.

Melissa enjoys painting flowers. From the natural to the abstract, she uses a variety of colors to express herself. She doesn’t do just flowers, but from the work that she was displaying at the festival, she surely enjoys them.

Melissa also had her booth setup so kids could paint as well. She was selling basic art kits for kids. It was a great way to reach out and get the children involved.

James Durachta makes art from porcelain. At the art festival, James displayed some of the butterflies that he had made, both large and small. He also had some roses that looked like they took hours to make. He also combined the two pieces as well.

A lot of them were shinny, but I liked the ones with out all of the shimmer. They had a simplicity to them, yet they were complex at the same time. James as also kind enough to give Sydney a butterfly of her choosing. Sydney let him pick a painting as well. Below are some images of Jame’s work.

Good Girl Designs by Susan Calvert was neat looking art. She does paintings of dogs and cats in an interesting way and she will put them on just about anything. She had several gift ideas for the dog or cat lover in your life.

Looking around her website, I would say that you really need to see her art in person. Like most are, it is hard to grasp it with an image on the web. One of my favorites is Scaredy Cat, and the image doesn’t do it correctly on the web. You can check out Good Girl Designs by Susan Calvert at http://susancalvert.com. Here is Susan pictured with her art.

That is what the business cards say. Sarrah Steiner draws cartoon type art of fat girls. They are modeled after her self it seem. The one with the pink hair is for sure. As she has hot pink highlights, just like the drawing.

Sarrah has placed her drawings on gift cards, note cards, key chains, and necklaces. They are very cute and would make a good gift for just about anyone. So check out some of Sarrah’s fat girl art at http://fatgirlart.com. Oh, and here are some images I took of her work.
