Control your actions…
by Chanel on Jan.22, 2010, under Blog

Its really important to take your own advice or else why preach it?
Many things ponder through this head of mine. As do many feelings flow through this body of mine. Its maintaining a balance that keeps me sane.
Its a huge responsibility that not many people can handle but if handled correctly could make a major impact. With that said I don’t abuse my power. But sometimes being a woman is knowing when to keep your mouth shut!
“One of the hardest things in life is having words in your heart that you cant utter” – James Earl Jones

When are you going to wake up?

Wonder why i dont read the paper or watch the news? . . . You take a look at it & tell me what as humans we value & call ‘important’.
Choose your company wisely! They could either bring out the best or the worst in you.
How to love. . .
by Chanel on Jan.20, 2010, under Blog
LOVE has been the heavy conversation topic of choice these days. I feel for anyone in a failing relationship. I am no stranger to pain & heartache myself. We often have many questions such as: what do i do now? how can i move on? where did we go wrong? …etc.
You should ask yourself: what is love?, Do i understand it?, And is this person worth all the pain they cause me?
I love you means that I accept you for the person you are and that I don’t wish to change you into someone else, its means that I care enough to fight for what we have and that I love you enough not to let you go.
A relationship needs both people to be on board. If only one person’s heart is in it its not going to last. TRUST ME. but i know you will try because your under that ‘love spell‘, your such a good person that you wont give up on them even though they have already given up on you. Please re read the words in blue again! If they do not show it, they do mean it!
Sometimes we need time apart to understand whats going on with ourselves & emotions. It doesn’t mean its over for good but space helps you find yourself & this is where the truth comes out! Don’t you want to know the honest truth? if not please stop looking at my blog! RIGHT NOW!
If we love something and let it go, when it comes back that means it was truly meant for us. I know letting go is scary but its necessary & its to help us all to grow up. You’ll do yourself more harm holding on to something that wasn’t meant to be. TRUST! Let the other person correct their own mistakes! Allow them time to change while you cool off. And please try & remember you control the pain. Putting your foot down & gaining control avoids pain.
Good Luck to you all in your journey of life. Love the right way . . .

Turn and Draw!
by Chanel on Jan.08, 2010, under Blog
So this is me opening up… I was never taught how to draw i just picked up a crayon one day & never looked back. In my room have a art store (literally) crayons,markers,paper,glitter,blades,paint etc… I’m talking TONS!! Its a problem. These are a few of my drawings, though I have abstract & typography pieces as well lets just focus on the drawings for now. The black & white pieces are from college back in 2006…




This last piece i can relate to the most because it’s my most recent one. I did this over the Summer in 2009.
1st of the Month!
by Chanel on Jan.01, 2010, under Blog
So Its the 1st of the month again -well the year really- & what do I think about around this time every month? . . . The M.E.T (metropolitan museum of art)! Its so hard to find good company to bring with me so i don’t go often but I should start. My 1st visit was back in college & i cant get enough of this place ever since. Its my art playground *wink*
Well this is me reminiscing…




*a friendly reminder to bring good company with you! * ^ he acted like he didn’t want to be there ^ 


Aside from the Guggenheim Museum -because i had my very first art show there- the M.E.T is my favorite museum in NYC! I love how the sculptures tell stories of time & royalty, the paintings tell stories of emotions & feelings and best of all the is the display TALENT!. If you’ve never been there i suggest trying it once with the right person. Never know what kind of art you might like. . .
