So fly! Local artist: MHeartstar

Crazy ~ Sexy ~ Cool ~ MHeartstar

Some people just are and artist Melissa Arce is someone who's been swirling about in my mind lately because she is. Her intensely cool stickers tickle my fancy. Big time. 

She's pretty "girl next door" with a sharp honest tongue, a warm heart beating behind a low chainlink fence and a bright marker in hand that sends swirling flowers and gritty graff zombies floating before your eyes. When I'm out I find myself wishing I had one in my bag to slap onto a phone booth, a door or 6 train window.

Glenn Arthur - Amazing Artist who plays fun on Twitter!

Anyone who knows me knows that I live and breathe art. Since I stumbled upon Glenn Arthur several years ago on Myspace and fell heard over heels I've shown atleast 100 people his beautiful paintings. His muses are often an angst ridden beauties with a tarnished innocence or the devious grinning vixen with a playful malevolence that reaches into my gut and twists while making me breathe lustily. His colors are from my mind's palette, I've painted my home and bedrooms in these colors. Some of his themes include  mirrors, hummingbirds, calaveras, stripes, filigree, fluffy flowing hair, glistening beautifully made up eyes, streaky inky mascara tears, gingham patchwork hearts, raw bleeding hearts, anchors, booboos and bandages, needle and thread, chiffon and satin bows, stripes and beautiful damask patterns and lovely blossoms of all kinds, even origami Glenn holding my favorite painting. Click to LIKE his Facebook Art pageones.  

His work has a sweet macabre sensibility that I thoroughly backstroke in. PLUS! We have Alphonse Mucha, The Walking Dead, Amelie, green tea, weddings, steampunk, extra sleep, water colors and Betty White in common.

Yeah, he's for me. 

"Glenn Arthur is a self taught visual artist from Orange County, California. Born in February of 1979, he grew up in a conservative, religious household with little to no influence in art. Although he constantly doodled and sketched as a child, Glenn did not come into painting until later in life when a friend (God bless you, friend!) took him by the hand to a local art store, purchased him a canvas, some paints and a few brushes and told Glenn, “You need to do this!” 

Since then Glenn has been diligently working on creating his own brand of beautifully painted images. Using acrylic paints on wooden panels, he adds in elements and influential symbols of his past and present to each piece. Beyond the aesthetics of his artwork, Glenn brings an overwhelming sense of passion to his paintings. Touching on themes of love, death, conflict and duality, Glenn’s art tells stories of strength and hope through emotion and sentiment with his sensual beauties and signature hummingbirds." 

The other day I came across this Tweet:

Technology - Very fun, not for the stupid

Here! A blog.

I had one. It got lost somewhere's in the interwebs. I tried to log in and got a whole brand new one. I wonder if I lost any good poems on the other one? :(

I love Facebook, Myspace still feels like a comfy pair of old sneakers. I don't understand Twitter but I have an account. I have a LinkedIn account, with no connections, YET! (OH! someone added me, woohoo!) I have a Lost Taino Tribe account. My MiGente and Crushspot and I'm sure there are a few others buried. My Paxed and LocalHookupz accounts I cancelled, I have 2 Photobucket accounts, one personal, one for work. A Kodak Gallery. Hmmmm, a Youtube account, an iTunes account, a Zune account, I have a website that's all my own, with an email address that's connected to it! My business has a Facebook page too. Let's see what else is there? Anything else?

It'll come to me while I'm typing I'm sure. oh yeah, Ebay, Etsy, DIY because I'm a home decoratin' foo', Make-up Alley, blah blah blah blah. etc. and another one. I have no idea how but I usually even remember the passwords for all of them!

Why do we need to be all over the place? It's like the grow-up equivalent of not wanting to leave the stoop or the playground so that we don't miss anything "good".

Do we really need to know what's going on all the time? And how do you get foloowers? Do I drop the link on people's Facebook pages and say, "Hi, please pay attention to my everythought." I'm pretty serious on posting all day while I'm working, cleaning and thinking random thoughts. It's becoming more acceptable to be an internet addict! YAY for me!

Ok, so this here and Twitter, I will make them my own! buahahahahaha! i! shall conquer them yet. Jeeez, I need to go to sleep.

See you at a social network near us...
