Life of Art SitRep #39 the calm, post-mojo
Every week, I work towards creating a life of art for myself. This is the journey, full of zigs and zags that are collectively, thankfully, progress.
Play along in the comments with your own pursuits if you'd like. (That's where I cheer you on.)
•Shot 70 photographs.
•Shot 9 videos of my kinetic sculpture. (Coming soon to the blog!)
•Wrote product descriptions for Flowering Rhubarb Stalks and Snow-covered Branches and created product lines of various customizable gift items:
•Made Ski Lift and Sky holiday card with customizable greeting template. It reads, "Have a marvelous holiday!" but you can easily change it to anything.
•Created long format Elements of Nature Calendar:
•Revised tags and adjusted product descriptions for 12 product lines. Halfway done, I think.
•Tweeted, FB'd, Rocklawn Arts blogged links for Field of Basalt, Flowering Rhubarb Stalks, Snow-covered Branches, and card/label/postcard sale information.
•Scanned 1 sketch.
How are your pursuits going?

34. Life in the Wild
34. Life in the Wild by DK Publishing, project editor: Nicky Munro (3.5/5)
Looking at the animal photos and reading their captions in Life in the Wild is just another reminder how many strange, weird creatures are out there that I've either never seen or never heard of. It's a fascinating planet we live on.
Animals are grouped by category: mammals, birds, reptiles & amphibians, fish, and invertebrates. Since there are millions of species on Earth, the book is by no means comprehensive, but it does give a good feel for the variety of life out there.
Though Life in the Wild is all about its photos, the captions are well worth reading too. They relay various highlights of the animals: how many tons one weighs, how fast another can run, what yet another eats. Interesting, brief tidbits.
I'm not going to lie, the snakes freaked me the f@#k out even though I focused only on reading their captions (tunnel vision fail!). Also reading some of their facts really didn't help. (This is where I'm glad I don't have a photographic memory.) But the good news is that there were only around 5 and they were all grouped together. This seemed to be true of most similar groups of animals in the book. Once you're past them, you don't have to worry about another one popping up in the chapter. The best tip I'll share with the phobic is that there's an index in the back, so you can see what pages to avoid if you need to.
Otherwise, lots of fascinating critters out there. The big cats and butterflies are probably my favorites in the book. Well worth at least a flip through.

Gettin' My Groove On... (vol. xvi)
...to "She Can Get It" by Kevin Rudolf with some Shiva Nata:
As if I'm not enough of an outsider already, I've become interested in a crazy form of yoga that pretty much no one has heard of. After reading about Shiva Nata for over a year, I finally picked up a dvd and started trying it out about 2 weeks ago.
I can't speak to the mental benefits it's supposed to have at this point, but I can say it's a heck of a workout for your arms. (I haven't gotten far with the leg sections yet.)
I photographed two other arm sequences which I like better visually, but without an establishing sequence, I didn't think they'd quite come across. The others will be up later this week.
*Please note the photos are by no means great form on display. I'm a beginner and I let Photobooth fire off 4 shots in succession, so I'm probably still moving into positions (assuming I'm doing them right).
