New Nursery

marcosua — Fri, 23 Jul 2010 18:43:27 +0000

Our lives are about to change in around 3 weeks when we welcome the newest member of our family, Ruby. Michelle and I just finished setting up the nursery. It includes a lot of handmade things by both Michelle and I and our friends. So thankful for the awesome family, friends, and community that is surrounding us.

Circle Circle Square

Here’s five shots I took while over in the UK that I put together for my art show at the beginning of the month. It’s crazy how putting them into a circle frame drastically altered the composition from a rectangle. They just pop. I’ll be putting these in my Etsy shop shortly.

Nickajack has finally arrived

marcosua — Thu, 08 Apr 2010 18:06:03 +0000

As many of you know music holds a very dear part of my heart. Very few things in life move me like music. Music has an incredible ability to soothe a troubled soul, encourage an overwhelmed spirit, become a vessel for shouts of praise and joy, or cause one to analyze their life or current situation. Music was a great avenue for me to express myself creatively and to release frustration. I love music, playing guitar, and writing songs but maybe not as much as I use to. I’ve now found other avenues to explore and more important things to occupy my time. You may already know that I released a full LP in 2004 entitled, Eucatastrophe. It was a great experiment that I am proud of and I believe it was a great accomplishment for me though musically and lyrically I’ve evolved since then. I began writing new songs shortly after that and slowly but surely have been recording them. Some have sat for years without being touched until recently. I’ve been wanting to release my new EP, entitled Nickajack, for many years now. And that day has finally come. Some songs never made it off the shelf and some still sit half finished. But I believe these five songs create a great cohesive thought. Each one of these songs deals with choices. A choice to do what you know is right or to follow the anger of your heart and do what you know will only lead to destruction. It is this great conflict that we face every day. The word Nickajack is the name of a cave in Tennessee. When Johnny Cash was faced with the despair that his life was too messed up to fix he found himself inside this cave asking God to take his life. He was done. But he heard a voice telling him, “Get up. I’m not done with you yet.” God graciously gave John the power to kick his demons out and shut the door. And it’s only God’s grace that keeps that door shut. Even to the last line of his last song his hope was firm in Jesus Christ but yet he still felt the enticement of the path God yanked him from in that cave. “Oh Lord, help me to walk another mile, just one more mile.”

Thanks to Ryan Hodges for playing drums on Right One For Me and Andy Martin for playing ebow on Right One For Me.

This album is completely free. But if you’re feeling generous…

New Logo

Mikee is an awesome baker that I’ve had the opportunity to work with. Here’s the logo I did for her. If you’re getting married and need to find the best wedding cake designer in the SC, one to knock people’s socks off, she’s the one to pick. I wanted to emphasize the fact that she’s an artist, a designer. She puts a great deal of passion and skill into not only the ingredients but the designing or decorating of the cake. Her spatula is her paint brush.

NEW WORK Ireland

marcosua — Fri, 19 Feb 2010 17:32:46 +0000

Here is a new piece I just hung in my new studio, White Whale Studio & Gallery. It’s simply titled, Ireland. I took this picture while traveling along the north shore of Ireland with my wife, sister, and bro-in-law. It’s one of my favorite pieces I think. But it holds no candle to seeing that valley in person. Breathtaking! I’ll be putting this up on my Etsy store soon.

NEW WORK Underwater

marcosua — Tue, 16 Feb 2010 03:36:33 +0000

So I gave you a sneak peak of this earlier with no expectations of finishing it tonight but here it is. It’s definitely a departure from my usual stuff. But a fun experiement. I think it turned out pretty good.

NEW WORK New York III

marcosua — Tue, 16 Feb 2010 03:32:23 +0000

So I’m still pillaging the photos I took while in New York this past summer. This shot is from the roof top where we stayed in the Lower East Side. I thought it might be interesting to show the before and after pics. Just so you could see how much work was done.

Random Screenshot

marcosua — Mon, 15 Feb 2010 22:38:12 +0000

I know it seems like long periods of time between posts of personal work. It’s not that I’m on vacation or producing nothing. I’m hard at work everyday but either I don’t have anything interesting or what I’m working on is slow going. So I thought I’d post random screenshots from time to time to give teasers of some projects I’m working on. Here’s the first in the series. This is a sneak peak to a new print I’m working on. It’s completely void of photographs but made entirely of illustrated images. I hope to have it done soon.

New Fusion

marcosua — Sat, 13 Feb 2010 02:33:44 +0000

Just completed a new Fusion for Getz Creative. They are phenomenal photographers and asked me to “do my thang” to some of their photos. Who wouldn’t want an engagement pic that looks like this hanging on their wall?
