My friend (and co-founder of the original Beauty Dialogues) Ashley Cooper is visiting for a day and a half and as always her special brand of vibrancy is stimulating all my art/play centers. You can't be around her without wanting to sing or dance or bring out the finger paints... You might understand why when I tell you how she got the name for her website and blog a few years ago when one of the 5 year old munchkins she works with said "Gee Miss Ashley, you sure are easily amazed! :-)
So tonight, after struggling unsuccessfully to import an existing site into her new iWeb 09, we were ready for some easy amazement and went to see the inventive & "deliciously creepy" Coraline in 3D. I haven't seen anything 3D in years and boy! they have made some impressive leaps in the medium. It was visually quite wonderful, and besides, half way through the movie we couldn't help noticing how mega cool we looked in our fancy plastic (no paper for us!) 3D glasses.
Ashley's friend Kara is another creative soul who, in addition to her other illustration and painting commissions (like this piece, above) makes incredible "avatars" - an image that stands in for you (could be a photograph but Kara's work is so much more exciting) on FaceBook or Twitter or any of the other social networking sites. If you want to see the perfect representation she made of Ashley check out this post - I'm going to ask her to make me one too!
