hard as nails

all i needed to know about carol i learned from her nail polish collection, 2010

she's into superstition

P.S. i looked up my holiday mathis horoscope for my birthday. may all of it be true!

cherry bomb

i am on a mission to incorporate the word 'joan-jett-tastic' into everyday use.

today i am gaunt

gaunt with inspiration! gaunt with distaste for corporate culture! i did a crazy today and i plan to carry the crazy out over the course of the next week, before it dissipates. stay tuned?

procrastination break!

i hereby declare today national layered stockings day. winter is good for two things: holiday cheer and a grunge-rock approach to layering. other than that life is same ol', same ol'. still animating, still reclusing. my happiest moment this week occurred when i realized i could multitask and get in some post-production work while visiting my family for the holidays. ARTIST FAIL.

let it be known

i went to bed with wet hair again

go see the silversun pickups

i made their tour poster :).

do you expect to be the same in the morning?

self portrait with facial lotion war paint, fig. 1

portrait of a day off

cleaning my shoes in the bathtub, assessing my dependence on the chuck taylor hipster money making machine, and generally contemplating what it means to chase a beatnik dream.

also

still life with floating ladybug carcass; or, a meditation about death.

portrait of a saturday morning

when in doubt

put on some eyemakeup, put on some mgmt, throw yourself a camerafone dance party.



i made a really good drawing last night (chillingly, sylvia-plath passive aggressive good) but i have not had access to a scanner to show it! ARRRRRRRRRGH, my sound of pirate discontent at the realization that nothing is free in the great state of california. that was my art for the night; now, flannery o'connor.

(don't worry, i'm still freaked the fuck out about my work situation. even though i, uh, have a work situation.)

p.d. i feel super vampy today

i don't know what it is.

superstar

oh, you know, just another day at the costume house picking out props for the boss's impending photoshoot.

the fancy glasses were completely necessary

y'all hate me because i live down the street from a grocer that sells cheap strawberries and kefir, y'all. y'alls be jealous because this, and approximately four glasses of matcha green tea that will send my pulse wildly skipping through the roof, is breakfast.

an extraordinary case of wednesday morning bedhead

things which i feel compelled to do upon visits to austin

(fellow travelers, beware)


1. cut hair
2. take scissors and a sewing machine to mexican dresses in my closet
3. contemplate more tattoos (this one will be about spring and cherry trees!)

andando sin ti por la tierra

p.d. i got a new tattoo.
