The New Kglyphics

The new KGlyphics is here! I decided to give my website a complete makeover. The content wasn’t organized and it was just a plain mess. SO now the blog is moved over to the blog.kglyphics.com URL and the portfolio part of my website stayed on the main domain. I have two different wordpress databases. But somehow in the process of moving everything around I lost around 200+ photos… SO that is why when you go through some of the older posts, the pictures are missing. I’m going to eventually add them back and wrote down the post numbers, but I feel like right now its’ not that necessary. I hope you like the reworked website.

Weekly Tarot #41

ten.cups – 2.cups – ace.pents – five.swords – seven.cups | contentment (monday) – love (tuesday) – optimism (wednesday) – insecurities (thursday) – unexpectedness (friday)

Over the weekend I made a prediction that my brother’s mortgage would be approved on Monday, when Monday rolled around my mom got news that the mortgage was approved! So Monday was celebration and admitting to someone that was right. Tuesday, I got my first parking ticket, ugh. So I’m thinking of going into Boston tomorrow to pay it off. Wednesday, I won $2,000 for submitting my artwork into an exhibition for Washington Dc. Thursday, my mom was busy doing a lot of different things and was in her critical mood.. so this has to be done and be done now! Tomorrow I have to get up early and get my teeth cleaned at 8 am.

Next week, I’m supposed to be signing the lease on my studio. So close to moving in and setting things up!!

Next week:

king of swords – 3.pents – 8.pents – lovers -ace.cups

decision, feedback – studio, work, – art/design, work – connection, reconnection – expression of an emotion

AHHH I’m so excited

I was notified yesterday that my artwork was accepted into an exhibition called the Infinite Earth and was a recipient of the Award of Excellence ($2,000)!!! The exhibition runs from September to December at the Kennedy Center of the Arts in Washington DC. The sponsor for this exhibition is going to pay for my shipment of my artwork, and travel + hotel. I have never been to DC and I cannot wait to go! I was kinda laughing though because the trip happens to be right before I go to California. They want me to travel from September 10-12 and I leave for California on the 13th. Man September is going to be nuts for a bit. I’m already thinking of how to spend my money… lol.

Manifest World is an Interference

When I began my meditative walk, I felt drawn to the lake. For some reason, I saw the lake differently than from before… for the first time, I truly did see the manifest world for what it was – an interference… light shining upon light … then the light shifted and the experience was gone.

« Then she added, “We could equate light with attention, as we equate darkness with the unseen. There has to be an interaction of some sort for there to be anything to experience.“ »

Weekly Tarot #40

star (monday) – wheel (tuesday) – queen.swords (wednesday) – 9.swords (thursday) – 6.swords (friday) | Opportunity, healing – turning of tables, ups/downs – understanding, message – worry, anxiety – message, internet, recovery

Monday, I worked on my project for my class and got really far and was able to finally figure things out. Tuesday, nothing major happened, and I went to my class. I was also offered a ride by the shuttle at Massart. Its’ so nice to be treated with respect as a student instead of a pawn… like I was at Moravian. Wednesday, I had a fight with my mom who basically called me a bitch and I “blew” up at her for being so goddamn critical of me when I was going through a hard time already. Yesterday, I was pretty depressed because all I could think about was my situation and not seeing the light. The weather didn’t help my mood either as it poured all day and was dark all day as well. Today, I went on a meditative walk and had a bit of an enlightening moment happen.  I remembered that my friend Gina and I talking about how the manifest world was an interference. I actually saw it for the first time today at the lake at Wellesley College. The light was just right where I could see past the illusion of things that are physical and see that they were just an interference of light. It was pretty cool.

Monday I got a gig booked for September that should pay off the last leg of my California trip in September – if things should go well of course. Tuesday, I ‘technically’ got fired but then it was underhanded by the other bosses involved. So I’m good, just had a fight with one of them and turned out to be a big stressful situation that was fine on Wednesday (Justice). On Wendesday I also got an email from Kelly IT Services with possible position for Web Design (Ace.Pents). Thursday, I went to my nutritionist appointment and lost two pounds since the last appointment, but the six.wands says to me to not get ahead of myself. 😛 Friday (today) I worked on my project for my Type in Motion class and I’m so goddamn confused! (moon) I understood the tutorial in class but when it came time to applying it to my project I’m so lost .

Monday was really nice weather and my mom kept saying I just want to bottle this up (4.pents) lol. On the way home, I kept thinking that the basement might’ve been flooded with all the rain we got this weekend and since we don’t have gutters on our home anymore, I kept seeing visions of the basement being flooded but thankfully it was just illusions (7.cups). Tuesday, class went well, excited to be working on design projects again. But I yelled at my boss kinda because he first called during class and then dropped an annoying project in my lap when I was already overwhelmed with a full semesters’ worth of projects in my lap…so annoying. Wednesday, I went and picked up a package that I was disappointed with because I ordered and it turned out to be way smaller than originally thought.. and shipping costs half as much as I paid for it so it wouldn’t be worth it to return it. Oh well. Work also went well but was slow so they allowed me to leave early.

Website Updates

Hello! Just thought I’d let you know that I added more of a navigation on the left side. As usual, the colored bars at the top underneath the logo are links to the main parts of the site; blog , philosophy, resume, portfolio and press. Then the secondary navigation below that are links to different categories to the blog portion of the website. “Explore” has different categories that are related to my life and “Research” are categories that are related to my research. Take a look around!! 🙂

Celebrations Gallery and Shoppes

 

I mentioned this on facebook but realized that I didn’t blog about it. My artwork has been accepted into an exhibition in Pomfret, CT called “Illumination” curated by the Celebrations Gallery and Shoppes. The reception will be on July 20th – the same day I come home from Montreal… from 5-8pm. It is only an hour away from Boston! The exhibition runs from July 20th – September 1st!

This is the chosen work.
