I’m a milestone person. I tend to notice things when they get to notable numbers. This is my 100th blog entry. I know this is not a huge number when it comes to blogging but it is a significant number for me. Thanks for following along. I appreciate your feedback and sharing art with you all. Onward into the unknown.

I finally got to meet the little boy with the big name. Jen and Jeff recently had their first child Karlo Von Balkan Bloom. This is my favorite baby name ever. I love my artist friends! I expect big things from this little guy whose mom is a painter and dad is a musician. Hopefully he won’t pull an Alex P. Keaton and go corporate on you two. Congratulations!

During the big rainstorm last week I was at my friend Ruby’s art opening at Hovercraft. It was downpouring and I really wanted a portrait in the rain, which Ruby was up for, but I opted to save my camera and shoot her here under the small eve of the storefront after she had been walking out in the deluge.

Ruby’s latest series of paintings, which are beautifully odd and fantastic pieces, are showing now. If you are on South Congress, stop in at Hovercraft and see them.

I went out shooting tonight and ended up photographing my favorite Austin landmark, the Frost Building. I have shot the Frost Building many times before but never from this location. I love the openness of the intersection and that brilliant golden color of the road. The trailing taillights and swaying buildings can keep me there all night. Click on the image to see it bigger.
