When the most interesting thing in the square is two white girls and a snaggle toothed supermodel

After a couple hours of anatomy drawing in the morning, we set out today for some very uninteresting reference photos for our collaborative art piece we’ll be kicking off Monday. It was a bit shocking to find how much interest one can generate while taking photos of benches and humble street pups. In a matter of 30 seconds this cute girl struck about 12 different poses for us, fully aware of the camera, whilst a good 20 ppl watched.

Add this bitch to the long list of animals, miniature babies and elderly we want to stash away in our pockets...stolen back to a wonderful life in America where dreams for girls like Hannah Montana come true.

Later we filled a printing shop that had been virtually empty upon arrival. As we felt the room slowly getting more and more crowded as we selected pics to print, I turned to see  about 12 dudes watching over our shoulders. Sorry boys, no girls gone wild stuff here, just puppies and ponies. 

God bless all the homeless puppies.

Suprise

I decided to blog... Been in India since the 5th. of February; it’s been both wonderful and tragic at times. The country is full of rich culture and poverty. Our time spent in Mumbai has been the most challenging thus far, to say it shortly, we were overwhelmed. Not by one particular thing, but mass amounts of people, yelling, honking, staring and sneaking photos of you; all while trying to adjust to the culture was difficult. While there we were able to attend an Art Festival; beautiful photography, hindi dances, children art spreading awareness about conserving water, and loads of other street installations.

From there we traveled on to Jaipur and were able to rest up and precess through the intensity of Mumbai and do some tourist things.  

Now in Darjeeling, the art team that I will be working with is made up of  Eve, Viktor, Hanna, Noah and Andy. After spending two days here getting acquainted with the city we are now diving in and looking for inspiration and dreaming up our art project.  Will update you more as the idea takes form.

I know I haven't shared much from the heart in this post, but do plan on doing so. Once my thoughts become clear and I can communicate them across without the ideas getting all messy, then I will drop them on you guys.

Keep us in your prayers.

Scandinavian Christmas

On December 24th

In honor of the birth of our baby Lord Jesus:

we began our day with a brunch

pool party combo

Followed by some Best of Will Farrell

After we got cleaned up, went out for dinner.

Then wrapped up the evening with a gift exchange and movie.

Wouldn't trade the day for anything.

Christmas Feast 2009

Loads of good grub

Laughs with Eve

Serious Matt (gave me the talk that I am alright 80% of the time)

Ramesh the wild local, and yes Eve and I both had threatened to push him down the steps at different points in the evening....

Adios

Got a working camera, a big THANKS to my sister! A couple night ago we all went out for Bonnie's goodbye; she is going overseas for a long holiday and we will be gone before her return. So, we felt a proper hang out session was necessary.

Not so good at this blog thing...

I offer anyone and everyone trying to "follow"this blog my apologies  for it really hasn't gone anywhere... I will try harder to give you folks something to follow from here on out.

A brief update on the last couple of weeks:

The student lounge has been repainted; it has gone from a nasty early 90's blue to a sandy tan and plum violet. 

Got the opportunity to swim at Byron Bay and see what this Schoolies thing is all about. Schoolies are those who have finished High School, they then retreat to the costal cities to party the week away, for the most part funded by the parents... yup super lame. 

Cooked up quite a few meals

Helped set up our awesome fake christmas tree

Surfed the Web and facebooked it up

Bought our tickets for India!!!! we leave on February 4th  and will be flying into Mumbai; from there we will travel with  Viktor and Hanna to Darjeeling by train.

Cleaned a couple bathrooms

Everyone is working away at possible pieces to put up in the gallery that YWAM gets for the month of January

Loves!
