This is kind of a cop out for the saturday cool, but we’re trying to steer the blag in a more local direction and Jessica Kennedy is my painting instructor at UNM. I’m fond of her earlier works myself, but I think she’s quite talented all around.

Natalia Czajkiewicz runs an awesome blog that I’ve been following for some time. I was pleasantly surprised to see photos of the cactus at the Volunteer Park Conservatory. Seems people in the rain dream of the desert as much as I dream of the rain. You can find her personal illustration site here

Keli Kennedy is a photographer, and also my neighbor. Her photos give me goosebumps, particularly her portraiture. Haunting, but very very beautiful. There’s also usually some sort of mysterious hint of narrative that happens when she shoots more than one person. It’s so much more than “what they’re doing”, there’s some hidden interaction, like a secret not quite kept.

Her photos of the desert make me proud to live here.

I’ve included a couple examples here, but go lose yourself in her Flickr. You’ll thank me later.

So, this is a bit of bad photo, but you get the general idea (that idea being AWESOMENESS). This is Conspire , AKA totally bitchin coffee shop/art gallery/anarchist library. We visited, all too briefly while were in Phoenix, and I can’t wait to go back. It’s fantastic. Check out their Spraygraphic profile for more info, and if you’re in the area stop by!
