While editing a photo I took the other day at the Chicago Botanic Garden, I noticed that the branches and the flowers forms a shape that looks a lot like a small penis. Maybe it's just the juvenile side of me but I seriously think it does. And now I can't unsee it.

What surprises me is that this one really perverted guy I know couldn't see it but most of my female friends can spot it right away. Maybe guys just don't see dicks at that level. I should kick myself for that comment.

I recently did a "technology update" which just means that I updated my website and revamp parts of it since the six months I have been inactive (it's so horrible; everything is so outdated). There wasn't any new art to add since many of them are still in the making but regroup some parts of the gallery and I did add a little photography section, which consist mostly of the photos I took for Teaa's Flowers and something for my mother. I wouldn't consider myself a photographer but I taken pictures every so often as a hobby.

This is the one taken from my mother's garden if you were wondering...
from her Delia plant.

Since we are on the topic of flowers, there was a period in time when floral prints were super popular and people, primarily females, used them for everything. In the 90's, most of the swimsuits in department stores were covered in them and they were really cool back then. Every sweater and blouse that we would now consider tacky were splatter with a hodge-podge of these floral patterns. These bright, color clashing shapes were everywhere and then people thought that they were lame and it became a thing in the past. Only grandmas sport them. Anyways, I think they are coming back. I keep seeing product labels floral patterns. It's like they are trying to over thrown the minimalist movement or something.

I would say more about it but I'm too busy rummaging through my aunt's old sweaters bin from the 90's. They better be coming back or else I'll be the only one looking awful for the next couple of months.

Teaa's Flowers

Addiction: (on break)
Obsession: Stories and Tom Riddle (but to a lesser extent)

A friend of mine has recently opened up a flower shop in downtown called Teaa's Flowers. In fact, yesterday was the grand opening. The location is 501 north Wells Street in Chicago, Illinois (2 blocks north of the Merchandise Mart stop on the Brown/ Purple line). The shop is right on the corner so it's fairly easy to find.

   

The flowers are high quality in a decent pricing. Delivery is also very inexpensive. The shop itself look relatively modern and is dog friendly. The owner himself has two small dogs that may or may not be in the shop. Also, the shop aims to be green and environment friendly.

There is also an art studio (in the making) downstairs where my friend and fellow artist, Joy, and I will be working at. I am going to probably be there for half the time to work on projects, so there will be artwork feature in the shop every once in awhile.

    

So if you're in town and in need some flowers (Mother's Day and graduations are coming up!) stop by Teaa's Flowers. Also, bring your dog!

 

Apologize for the pictures; only had my digital camera that day.
