Steven made this at a craft night hosted at the Mystic Art Gallery in Medford. The poem is from a book of Hafiz/Ladinsky poetry that he brought with him. Throughout the evening, after he read this one to us, we read several other wonderful poems.

The Process of Creating a Painting
For the first part of 2013 I was focusing on writing and distributing Don’t Make Art, Just Make Something. Because of that, my painting studio was ignored.

The Downton Abbey Dinner Party
Last Saturday my friend Rebecca decided, all on her own, to cook a seven course meal inspired by Downton Abbey to celebrate the fourth season coming out.

This Christmas was different for me because my older sister (the blurry spot on the left of the computer screen in the picture) was in Japan. Below… Continue Reading

Not so solidly that it turns the Hearth into an electrocuted rainbow, but just enough to draw accents to what you already wanted… Continue Reading
The Heart of Robin Hood at A.R.T.
It’s been a while since I went to a show. As a recent-postgrad struggling with student loans, coughing up the money to go see a theatrical production isn’t always the easiest. So imagine my surprise when a friend of mine called me up earlier this week to ask if I wanted a free ticket to… Continue Reading
