it was our school's first talent show, and jake decided it would be great to do a live painting with one of our students and me. we got 2 6-foot masonite boards, tons of paint, and spent the next week creating what you see above. we covered it in watercolor so that it looked white. for the show, we played sigur ros, and "choreographed" a way to uncover the painting in a way that made it look like we painted this in the time it took for the 6 mintue song to play. paint and water were flying everwhere while lights flickered and the music played. i slipped and fell in the paint, and the audience loved every minute of it. some people were convinced that we had actually painted this on stage.
My name is Annie. I love photography, music and art. Since my teens, I've been working to be able to live as a freelance artist in all of these mediums. Now I travel the world with my best friend and confidant, Jake, photographing weddings, doing concerts, filming documentaries and staying up too late. I like to talk in accents when I'm in the car, and I like English tea in the mornings. When I am home, I spend my time making things, writing songs, and spoiling my pet dove. I'm particularly afraid of spiders, pipe organs and geometery. You won't find any of those things here, except for the occasional pipe organ, which you'll have to excuse. I created this blog to document my adventures, creations and obsessions, in hopes that you'll find a little inspiration in them. Happy reading!
