I’ve been working on some munny’s in my spare time and changed my food habits. I will continue to focus on art and food, and will post a lot more about food, my passion. I’ve been experimenting with eating the “paleo” or “primal” way with a few tweaks to suit my lifestyle, and I’m happy with how it’s going and how I feel now that I don’t eat processed food. Look out for recipes, reviews, articles, and everything in between.

Coming up this weekend is something very exciting, that you won’t want to miss. Toyota’s Farm to Table Tour is gracing Jacksonville with its presence at the Riverside Arts Market on Saturday. (10-4pm on Riverside Ave. under the 95 overpass) This tour celebrates the connection between local ingredients and cooks. Several Jacksonville restaurants will be setting up shop, handing out samples of their fare, as well as free herbs and test drives from Toyota. The tastings will be held between 10:30am – 2:30pm and are sure to be incredibly delicious, on top of the rest of the Ram events!

Who wants to be involved in a Toy Camera Photo Show?

I’m thinking anything Holga, Diana, Lomo, anything in the toy camera genre. I’d even open it up to handmade pinholes. I’ve seen this type of show done elsewhere but never in town, and I think it could be really great show. I’m also looking for venues, so if you’re interested and have ideas, feel free!

Secondly, I’ve started following the updates of Urban Sketchers. I have always had an immense fascination with other peoples’ sketchbooks and seeing how other artists sketch, doodle, etc. Check it out, I’m in love with it and enjoy most of the sketchers who post.

I’ve also been checking out the new stuff James Greene has been working on over at Valuistics, and really digging the Road Window series. Check it out!

And a few update related notes… I’m still waiting on some sweet new interviews to show up in my inbox, as soon as I get them back they’ll be up! As I said before I’ll be expanding the blog to food as well. We’re in the process of testing jams and recipes to possibly sell at RAM. Last weekend we made Orange Strawberry Preserves which turned out splendidly! A little Cointreau added so much flavor and body to it. I’ll start blogging some of my favorite recipes as well as reinvented, healthier ones as I make a rather large life change involving eating locally and tremendously better than I ever have. But that is for another post.

Enjoy the week and this cool weather we’re having!
