We are a couple of artists. We make art. And we spend all our money on stuff that feeds our creative passions. The downside? Starvation. Not literal starvation (well yes, sometimes literal, but hey we've got priorities). Let's just say every paycheck is like a gift from the gods, arriving JUST in time so that we can continue living indoors. This page is dedicated to the struggles (and VICTORIES) of living the life of a Starving Artist.
You can contribute to our cause by clicking on any of the wondrous links on this page and buying stuff we like. We promise you'll like it too, and you can feel good about feeding some good-souled albeit sometimes misguided artistes.

First of All... Ode to My Camera
This camera does not replace a nice DSLR for really top-notch pictures, and in any premeditated photo session my Rebel will always win. What it does replace though, is that constant debate: do I lug my Camera and be "taking pictures guy" or do I just go and enjoy the event/moment/day? It is smaller than a cell phone, has one of the best looking designs of a digital camera I've seen in a long time, and takes such good point-and-shoot photos that it is practically impossible for me not to get compliments on mere snapshots.
I take it everywhere with me. I can throw it in my purse, stuff it in my pocket, or stash it in my bicycle pouch without hesitation or the nagging thought, "will I really NEED my camera for this?" because there is just no reason not to. And this take-anywhere convenience is wholely responsible for 90% of my photos these days, whether they end up as graphic elements, art pieces, or stock photos (yes, it's that good).
All the photos here were taken with the Canon Powershot SD780IS with little or no retouching. I've included many macro shots as well as a few more candid photos. PLEASE NOTE: The name of my cat has been changed to protect the innocent. =)
