Jessica Mullings is a great artist and friend indeed. I've watched her grow as an artist for four years and now it is time for her to fly. She will be graduating May 12, 2012 from North Carolina A&T State University and I would like to say I am very proud of her. She will be a successful artist in the near future, look out!

GRACE JONES X KEITH HARLING

Image
Keith Haring is one of my favorite artist! Grace Jones is the SH*T! During the 80's, Haring took Grace Jones' body and told her "this is my new canvas!" The lovely Grace Jones stripped off her clothes and spread her arms. Haring created several works of art with his newly found skin canvas. Grace Jones is a Jamaican singer, model, and actress. She played the vampire and Vamp and also starred in Boomerang. She's so original and cool! MY FAVS !!!!! [Andy Warhol. Grace Jones. Keith Haring] 

It's so hard to say goodbye!

Today was a good day!

Today, a few of my friends and I joined UNCG Students for a nice day out at Piney Lake Recreation Center located in Greensboro, NC. There was fishing, canoeing, swimming, volleyball, food, and tree climbing (not really but he did it anyways). Sometimes its good to sit back and enjoy a day in sun.  Norma Jean's first time canoeing. Very relaxing...
