I'm going to begin to give lots of attention to my and my brother's joint blog all about our clothing line, Sean & Jenna. This here blog will remain as a general update type of blog, but the fun stuff will be over at <a href="http://www.seanandjenna.com/">seanandjenna.com</a><br /><br />Instead of just writing about myself, very un-daily here, there will be posts about all the things that come to influence what we create. All the music, art, film, literature, and history that we love. Plus lots of New York City!Jennahttp://www.blogger.com/profile/09513782718735436847noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8037141135480747763.post-20186101316604412492010-05-18T17:37:00.002-04:002010-05-18T17:43:27.205-04:00Sneak Peak<a href="http://farm4.static.flickr.com/3321/4619390301_973218eb3d.jpg"><img style="TEXT-ALIGN: center; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 500px; DISPLAY: block; HEIGHT: 337px; CURSOR: hand" border="0" alt="" src="http://farm4.static.flickr.com/3321/4619390301_973218eb3d.jpg" /></a><br /><div><a href="http://farm5.static.flickr.com/4052/4620005970_bb5409273a.jpg"><img style="TEXT-ALIGN: center; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 375px; DISPLAY: block; HEIGHT: 500px; CURSOR: hand" border="0" alt="" src="http://farm5.static.flickr.com/4052/4620005970_bb5409273a.jpg" /></a><br /><div><img style="TEXT-ALIGN: center; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 375px; DISPLAY: block; HEIGHT: 500px; CURSOR: hand" border="0" alt="" src="http://farm5.static.flickr.com/4020/4619391173_baf6f78089.jpg" /> Here are some of the very first images of my new t-shirt line!

These two, plus my passion for art are the basis of what I'm about. I'm going to try to vary my posts from now on and discuss more of what goes into me and subsequently comes out in my drawings. And I hope that I am able to occasionally write something of interest to people who may be more familiar with music or movies, as opposed to art.<br /><br />And, along with that - here is a drawing that I did recently. I titled it "Saint Jerome," because it made me think of the beginning of <span style="font-style: italic;">Ghostbusters</span>, in which we see the phantom in the basement of the NY Public Library. The drawing is much more colorful than that ghost is, naturally.Jennahttp://www.blogger.com/profile/09513782718735436847noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8037141135480747763.post-62616921642829099712010-02-09T21:33:00.004-05:002010-02-09T21:43:11.721-05:00New Prints<a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEijGMvaGU-VMIcd37ZogUPYjp1lX_Ey4ubHcEVzYICns0kFkmoZQP3qu7z4brbDztkLi57QE5tj3qcC50TRvPb0KWcFqu1cAyZWi_VhMENedJOkCwPCceI80-N9PuN3ji6OTGfkfF6QNocU/s1600-h/DSC03234.JPG"><img style="margin: 0px auto 10px; display: block; text-align: center; cursor: pointer; width: 200px; height: 150px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEijGMvaGU-VMIcd37ZogUPYjp1lX_Ey4ubHcEVzYICns0kFkmoZQP3qu7z4brbDztkLi57QE5tj3qcC50TRvPb0KWcFqu1cAyZWi_VhMENedJOkCwPCceI80-N9PuN3ji6OTGfkfF6QNocU/s200/DSC03234.JPG" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5436439561556329458" border="0" /></a><br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEihQ0FzXpRIzfrrnhZ7CleutPLT676GrNHjuzTcuz9irpk6AUyVPX32Cah8g_V_-6L8ynmQX_TBYMaEGOTK7rg2BdaYQIl2FPYpipZmtDypCFu1RxCB317s7vFYakjAmaTeY4herDxtLu84/s1600-h/DSC03231.JPG"><img style="margin: 0px auto 10px; display: block; text-align: center; cursor: pointer; width: 200px; height: 150px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEihQ0FzXpRIzfrrnhZ7CleutPLT676GrNHjuzTcuz9irpk6AUyVPX32Cah8g_V_-6L8ynmQX_TBYMaEGOTK7rg2BdaYQIl2FPYpipZmtDypCFu1RxCB317s7vFYakjAmaTeY4herDxtLu84/s200/DSC03231.JPG" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5436439553621114722" border="0" /></a><br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhIQsySILXtdHKZFx3nqc2qJJh-g2g-OxDG6cVh27UXORsy-3ovBCQ_A_tIHuA06p2X9b5-ki2suvn0mwXtaHFflr86iFBsu43tyYKEb6tItzecujRv1YC2s46eQ78h-kjx7hYkwu3m2WGm/s1600-h/DSC03228.JPG"><img style="margin: 0px auto 10px; display: block; text-align: center; cursor: pointer; width: 200px; height: 147px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhIQsySILXtdHKZFx3nqc2qJJh-g2g-OxDG6cVh27UXORsy-3ovBCQ_A_tIHuA06p2X9b5-ki2suvn0mwXtaHFflr86iFBsu43tyYKEb6tItzecujRv1YC2s46eQ78h-kjx7hYkwu3m2WGm/s200/DSC03228.JPG" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5436439545642704562" border="0" /></a><br />After much deliberation, I've decided to expand my selection of prints that are available from my etsy shop.

As I focus on feeling 100% healthy and back to normal, my artwork has taken a back seat. Which is fine - I'm listening to my body and taking action to make changes in my life that need to be made. I plan on having some new drawings completed in a few days anyway.Jennahttp://www.blogger.com/profile/09513782718735436847noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8037141135480747763.post-41735584096469505252009-07-09T11:10:00.003-04:002009-07-09T11:12:27.586-04:00Stronghold<a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEi9RJUrOHAKSfb91gL2khfKvpZSjXp1ECD57twVwuDqE0N9TbZyESbqJ9wU4Cgxv8Y54mlieeSAvm68dJTJzcnb9w1uWOWUxQUw1lBX_2_PM6047r5lXfAPQwOe38VTRNHiU-i-eXsYAU-g/s1600-h/DSC03028_2.JPG"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 400px; height: 300px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEi9RJUrOHAKSfb91gL2khfKvpZSjXp1ECD57twVwuDqE0N9TbZyESbqJ9wU4Cgxv8Y54mlieeSAvm68dJTJzcnb9w1uWOWUxQUw1lBX_2_PM6047r5lXfAPQwOe38VTRNHiU-i-eXsYAU-g/s400/DSC03028_2.JPG" border="0" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5356478409292823682" /></a><br />This one reminds me of the landscape of the Badlands in South Dakota.
