Kevin Jay Stanton - The #nofilter Valentine



Valentine's Day for me isn't a whole lot different from other nights I spend with my boyfriend. Usually he cooks, maybe I cook, we watch a movie, sleep. There's one ritual though, which I think counts as celebrating V-Day: discount chocolate. February 15th is prime-pickings for leftover chocolate and the prices are cut deep. I barely eat chocolate normally, but I'm looking forward to this year's trek for CVS's slashed priced candy (my favorite are the scalloped ones)!

    1. Thanks, Narciso! Do you know, I don't think I've ever had a lemon chocolate? Certainly not in these boxes anyway!

  3. I love that I am discovering new artists through Month of Love! Was checking out your cut paper work, beautiful! Whenever I get to CVS for discount candy after the holidays I am always too late ): it goes fast!

    1. Well thanks, Elisabeth! Your work is gorgeous, and I've seen a bit of it already (did Lauren feature you on her blog about using photo reference with your One Thousand and One Nights piece?).

      And I'm sorry that my tradition means that I'm literally taking V-Day chocolate out of your hands!

    2. Thanks! I don't think she did... I didn't submit it, but I did have a blog post about it that included the photo reference. I should have submitted it to her!

    3. I saw that - it's so awesome seeing people's photo reference with their beautiful final pieces! (and it's a great reminder that if I wanna start incorporating more people into my work I need to take my own reference!)
