Adrianne Adelle McCluer is an idea generator, artisan, and inventor.
Her mother was a mountain lion and her father was a grizzly bear. Adrianne loves words the walls in her bedroom are covered with them and their definitions. She is tall and thin and wears bowling shoes most of the time, whether she is bowling or not. Currently her hair is short but it is growing everyday. Adrianne has her own business: Brooding Artist Inc. also called B. A. Inc, she hopes one day that it will be a large collective, a safe haven for any artist that wishes to join…it’s a work in progress.
She has two dogs and 8 chickens. The chickens are not named as she has a hard time telling them all apart, but she knows that they are all girls so she just collectively calls them Helen. Her dogs are named Rugby and Rocco, they are large and impressive looking Pitt Bulls. Her brother Adam is a famous writer whose brilliant stories have captivated millions; he eventually wants to be a movie director. Adrianne’s sister Alex is a famous explorer who has traveled all over the world. Alex’s latest discovery was that Big Foot does indeed, have big feet. Adrianne’s mother Annette is a retired fashion model, she is incredibly beautiful, so beautiful in fact that she never has to wear any makeup at all. Annette is Adrianne’s best friend. Adrianne’s father often referred to as Scotty Canyon, is also a famous explorer and jack of all trades. Whether he is riding a unicycle, eating a solid pound of bacon all by himself, or awing people with his awesome ninja skillz he has often been confused for Indiana Jones or John Claude Van Dam. She has an awesome family.
When Adrianne was a kid her role models were: Breathless Mahoney (Madonna) and Catwoman (Michelle Pfeiffer), because they rock. Influences on her adult life are and have been: Tyler Durden, Jesus Christ, and Ellen Ripley. Adrianne has a BFA with an emphasis on photography, and a light saber with which she uses to defend the universe from evil. She loves Jesus, and she doesn’t give a crap if you think that’s not cool. She once broke her nose fighting off a group of Yakuza hit men who were trying to steal her secret chocolate chip cookie recipe, she won, no contest. Adrianne has written 3 books of poetry and started and not yet completed countless novels. When she grows up she wants to be an artist who is able to support her family and travel the world, she doesn’t care a hair for fortune and glory. She is currently in love with Jack White, Edward Norton, and Anthony Hopkins, but she likes to keep her options open.
She spends most of her time fighting crime, making art that people love, and playing with her sister Alex on the jungle gym behind their large and impressive mansion of a house. She does not have a boyfriend, and she is okay with that. When she is not reading books, working out with Sylvester Stallone, writing stories, dancing, solving crime with Sherlock Holmes, drinking green tea, or swimming across the Atlantic ocean, she can often been found deep in the woods that surround her house inciting the local grizzly bears to joust with her in a bare knuckle boxing match.
Life is good….

Wow! The girl can flat out write, draw and photograph! Plus being an undiscovered ninja warrior princess in her space time.
Seriously, I thoroughly enjoyed browsing your blog and seeing some of your work. I especially loved your “Avatar” piece. You and I are definitely “Avatar” soul mates. You expressed my feelings about the subjects exactly. Marcia and I saw both versions on the big screen and just bought the DVD yesterday.
You often express a natural concern about your immediate future. Seventy plus years have shown me that the main things are: just keep working on your artistic gifts, let folks know who you are and how you can help them, do what you can wherever you are, relax and enjoy the moment. It’s a long wonderful adventure.
What fun to chat with you at Darianne Burns’ wedding. Give some thought to dropping into the Richland Park Horse Trials the last week-end in August. I think you would enjoy the photographic challenge and maybe even sell a few photos. Let us know if you come.
All Best, Jack Sizer

Hey! I loved talking with you and Marcia at the wedding. You guys are so awesome and you made me feel like I was not amid strangers. I get so tense, it was wonderful to chat and hear about your kids and photography adventures. What a blessing it was to run into you two, you guys are so much fun! Thanks for being so kind and so thoughtful. I’m glad you liked the blog, I don’t get to work on it as much anymore but I’m planning on making more time.
I had a booth and the Fulton Street artist market on Sunday and it was a blast! I don’t sell my photo work but people were intrigued by my jewelry and illustrations! It was really great, belonging to the art community is a beautiful thing.
I hope I can come and visit, I’ll let you know about the Richland Park Horse trials.
Thanks for being so awesome!
Adrianne

I hope you enjoy that starfish! I was so inspired by your nautical Christmas tree idea. I’ll bet it looks incredible. I am so glad you enjoyed my work, it was a great weekend. I am making a facebook for my business as we speak. The moment it is up and running I will post it on my blog.
Do take care and have a wonderful Holiday!

Jack White, Edward Norton, and Anthony Hopkins <3
hehe three of my favourite fellas for sure
Wow, ninja training is super difficult. I have to complete my wall walking and smoke-escape training. My master gave me a pink suit to wear, because he says my ninja skills are too meek in comparison to my ostentatious fighting style.
Haha, a pink ninja suit eh? Now I really want to see that ostentatious fighting style of yours! I must, I must! hehe : )
Hi, Adrianne!
I hope I have the right one! This is Liz Garlick, the spacey volunteer you met at the Humane Society today haha. How are you?
Awesome Liz! Thanks again for all your help. You will be able to see some of the pictures you helped with very shortly on my other blog:

See you soon : )
Wow, I can’t wait! http://lizthesnailgarlick.wordpress.com/ here’s my issues project if you’re interested…you have to scroll down a little bit. See you soon too!
(Yes, I know one of them is out of focus but I used it anyway haha).
Sweet I’ll check it out thanks! : )
P.S. I’m probably not supposed to pick favorites but Kelsi was my favoritest dog ever!!!
She used to cower in her cage but when I read to her she’d flop on my lap and snuggle. Eventually she used her tail instead of having it tucked between her legs. She’d come out of her cage bouncing and wagging, it was so precious to see her change!
. She got adopted

Awesome!
