mixed media
i'm home sick today from work. been lazing around all day recuperating. anyway, i'm obsessed with mixed media art right now. i can't get enough of researching books about it, google searches on different techniques, various mixed media artists, etc. my brain is going to explode with too much information, inspiration, and ideas. it's in my dreams, in my thoughts, in between my thoughts. it's freakin me out a little.
