Here we go!

Jacob and I moved out of our apartment last Tuesday.  We had lived there for 3 years.  Tonight Jacob is driving to New York and I have made it safely to Reedsburg, Wisconsin.

Last day in New York

Yesterday was our last day in New York.  We came home this early morning.  We stopped by Dun-Well Doughnuts one last time.

Then we visited Central Park for three hours.  We love it there!

A beautiful day!

Later that night we went to the opening reception for The Society of Illustrators Student Show.  Jacob's piece was accepted into the show.  Check out Jacob's blog here, he is super talented.

I am going to miss this boy.  Tomorrow morning I leave for Wisconsin for my artist residency at Wormfarm Institute.  I am nervous because I have never been far from home and on my own, but I am excited to grow as an artist and farmer.  I have so many ideas and I can't wait to get started.  

2nd Day in New York!

Wednesday night, Jacob and I met with my cousin Erin who I had not seen in about 7 years!  It was wonderful seeing her.  We went to the always yummy Candle 79.

The next day we started our day off with a trip to the Brooklyn Museum to see the exhibition of Keith Haring's work.  We had to make 2 transfers on the subway to get there...and we did it!

The Brooklyn Museum

In 8th Grade my art teacher taught us about Haring.  I had never been excited about art before because I didn't understand it and it seemed like something for people that weren't like me.  But Keith always said he made art for EVERYONE and that has stuck with me.  I would like my art to be for everyone as well. 

Radiant Babies!

So big!  Keith, you are an inspiration!

Then we went to Vinnie's Pizzeria and had vegan pizza by the slice.  Thanks Vinnie for including the vegans!  Jacob loves pizza.

Later that night we went to Lula's Sweet Apothecary, an all vegan ice cream shop...and it was amazing.  I had ice cream on a cone!  I had drumstick (drumstick, chocolate chips, and peanuts) and peanut butter ice cream.  Jake got Chocolate chip mint.  

I think our stomachs would like us to leave New York and eat some apples and kale...

Jacob and I in New York!

I leave for Wormfarm Institute in Reedsburg, Wisconsin on Sunday, but before I do, Jake and I are eating everything vegan in New York!

An all vegan doughnut shop called Dun-Well Doughnuts 8 blocks from our hostel...we plan on having a doughnut everyday!

This is the face of a man pleased with his doughnut.

I love this boy so much!

A poster in the Subway.  Tomorrow we are going to the Brooklyn Museum to see Keith Haring's work.  All my dreams are coming true!  Vegan doughnuts and Keith Haring...o my!

We had lunch at Wild Ginger, an all vegan, pan-asian restaurant.  It was incredible.

Miso soup

So happy to finally find a vegan Iced Thai Tea!  It's slightly sweet and creamy.

More to come......
