Fresh news from River Rat Rob: The Jam'in in Lake Maurepas is May 10, music starts at 11:00 AM. If you've never been, this is a helluva party. There is a party IN Lake Maurepas (pronounced maw-paw, not maury-poss) on the sand bar; there's live music, food, boats, girls in bikinis, guys trying to impress girls in bikinis, and lots and lots of fun. On Rob's website, he has a link to an aerial

In case you're interested, I've replaced two of my drawings with more recent ones. Click on the "Art and Photo" link to see! First one is: Tyranny Begin Drawn Second one is in progress, and is about the Holocaust.

The Southeastern Louisiana Visual Arts Department Student Show opens tomorrow night, Thursday, February 28th. It is in the Southeastern La. Univ. Contemporary Art Gallery in Hammond, La. I have several digital print-ups and some charcoal drawings in this exhibit. This is a very imporat art exhibition for Southeastern and for myself. The National Association of Art and Design will visit this

Three of the five DJ 1-11 album covers I submitted have made it into Southeastern's Visual Art Exhibition! The three album covers are located in the Sims Memorial Library Gallery on the first floor of Southeastern Louisiana University's academic library. If you're in Hammond, pop on by and take a peek. If you never go to Hammond...shame on you. :) And then visit http://www.dj1-11.com and click

Look for me in an upcoming issue of InRegister Magazine! I modeled local boutique swimsuits, clothing, shoes and accessories with a 1920's flair. Don't forget to look for the two other beauties in the issue: Kristy and Harriett. Talk about a couple of bombshells! Hopefully my knowledge of the body and photography helped me on the other side of the camera lens. As many photographers can attest,

While browsing through the web for the latest news and videos, I came across this: http://video.google.com/videoplay?docid=-1656880303867390173 This is a documentary/video by Aaron Russo claiming that there is no law requiring Americans to pay income taxes. He posits that Income Taxes are unconstitutional and therefore Americans should not be coerced to pay it. Google has actually pulled the

Keep your fingers crossed! I've entered two art competitions in the last week; hopefully I will get accepted by one or both of them. Southeastern Louisiana University is getting ready for the Visual Arts Society Art Show. Members of the Visual Art Society had to submit their artwork on Friday, Feb. 1. I submitted a series of 5 CD covers I've completed for DJ 1-11.com. I hope they don't count off

There's some nifty stuff going on in Hammond. As students, teachers reinforce principles and techniques and theory and tricks of the trade, but it's really nice to see mentors' works. The Southeastern Louisiana University Contemporary Art Gallery is hosting the Department of Visual Arts Faculty Exhibition. It hosts works of art that are so good, you could slap yourself.

By popular request, here is a sample of the Billboards I created for the LSU BCS Championship. The last billboard is the one chosen for production (in case you didn't get to see it). These images are watermarked and of degraded quality.

As I approach the big 3-0, some are asking if I am afraid. Granted, I have five years before I stand at 30's Eve, but I still feel at peace with aging. In Western societies, women are supposed to go through life untouched by time. We inject ourselves to eliminate any evidence of emotion we've ever felt. We are supposed to remain expressionless--ironically--though women are known for being the

"I don't have a lot of girl friends because girls are too catty," says one girl. This is a phrase I've heard a lot...and a phrase I've said myself. Unfortunately, when you point a finger at someone else, there's three more fingers pointing right back at you. A lot of the girls who say this don't actually hang out with a lot of girls and use this rhetoric as a reason for not having friends of her

If you're in the Baton Rouge Area, check out the LSU Billboard I designed. It's located on I-10 (westbound), between Essen and Bluebonnet. It's the LED, and my "LSU Spirit" should rotate within 36 seconds. Happy viewing!

July 2007 Wedding is nearly planned. Had my first experience with the hospital's "Emergency" room. Everything turned out to be fine, but seriously, the "emergency room" is no place to go if you have an emergency. August 2007 Classes began again and I was more comfortable and excited beginning this semester than I was the last. Bridal shower was small and intimate--but not without drama and a

January 2007 Began as a full-time student at Southeastern Louisiana University. Held engagement party mid-month and began to suspect my friends are not who I think they are. February 2007 Learned that Art classes take A LOT of time. Tried on Wedding dress for the first time. Freaked out and took it off. March 2007 Began to loathe the 35-mile commute to Hammond. April 2007 Took bridal portraits

I made arrangements to purchase the Suzuki SV650! After hearing what a few very experienced riders have to say, it's not too bad of a bike to start on. It's got a V-twin engine (as opposed to an in-line), so its handling and riding are more like a touring bike rather than a screaming, snarling Hayabusa. Don't get me wrong--it's still a sport bike and its throttle is still testy like a sport

I'll confess: I've been snooping around on the internet for a bike. I took the MSF course in mid-December, and now I'm shopping for a bike. Yes, I've heard all the ego-absorbed jabber before: "Get a big bike, you'll get tired of a little one FAST," "Small engines are for girls," blah blah. Newsflash! I AM a girl. I've looked at a Suzuki SV650, and I've ridden a GSXR600, a Honda NightHawk and a

Yay! I am finally finished! I have a few bugs to work out in it (like the "lobby" link....click it and you'll see...) But I am in Huntsville, Alabama until Monday evening, so it won't be until Christmas that I can fix that link. Oh well... Hope everyone has a safe weekend. Watch out for those DWI checkpoints. Or....you could just not drink and drive. :) Love, Lace

I've been working steadily on my website. It's going to be completely different, and I've run into a few problems. I know the world is just DYING to know what I'm up to (haha), and it's basically been one issue after another. But I'm not discouraged! I'm having a few problems with my new gallery. It's been a little bit of a battle trying to get the images to display how I want them to. I've

I'm redesigning my site, and it's really going to look great. The last three "looks" have all been white text on a black background. Now, I'm going for something completely different: animation throughout the site, a more intuitive theme, and a better color scheme. Previously, I've had a simple white-on-black site, a "Color Wheel" site, and a "Film" site. Now, It'll all be themed: from the

As I reflect on an ending semester, I realize one of the classes I dreaded the most in August is the one in which I learned the most. I will miss this class over the holidays, believe it or not. Much of my graphic design and photography sense is intuitive, but sculpture and three-dimensional objects are not one of my strengths. Jeff's a great instructor, and he pushes me. He pisses me off

For my final sculpture this fall, I thought for a long time on how to weld something under a severe time constraint, but also something that could demonstrate an idea. It wouldn't have to be straight-forward, but perhaps something that makes you go, "Ah-ha!" after you've heard the name, seen and interacted with the piece, and put them together. I thought a lot about how marriage is taken so

It was that time again: time to get raked over the coals in Art class. Fortunately, no one ran to the bathroom in tears and we all walked away with minimal scarring. Great job, everyone. :) (Click to see larger image in Google Picasa Web Album) (My personal favorite)
