What It's About
For the last two weeks of February, I put myself on a spending embargo. Just to rein it in and take inventory of all that I already have. Obviously it's March now, and with my little tax return I've definitely been impulsively shopping (mostly needs!) this weekend. I've mostly been obsessed with Mrs. Meyer's. Which probably reveals a lot about me, considering my consumer obsession is about (basil-scented) cleaning supplies.
Anyway.
A friend was over and we were playing in my closet (does no one else do this with their friends? It's one of my favorite things) - and I rediscovered all my favorite shoes. I rarely wear these shoes since they're not so school-friendly, but they just light up my life when I do. And the top and bottom pair have been in my closet since 2005, and the blue pair I got last year.
So really, what I'm trying to say is, you probably already possess all the joy you need. In more ways than just shoes.

Set at Light Speed
Rabbits Down
cut paper + ink
Another piece for IDL. I just wanted to draw lots of rabbits and play with cut paper.
I'm feeling super-inspired right now, wanting to jump on everything from making a stop-motion animation to getting into more cut-paper art to playing with type to drawing everything to painting again. My hands are just trying to keep up with my mind! But I wouldn't want it any other way.Labels: art school confidential

Walking Through These Spiderwebs...
Chaos Beard
pen & acrylic ink on paper
Happy March! Things got a bit hectic there at the end of February, between school + midterms + a death in the family, hence the silence over these wires. The above piece was for illustration design lab, where the topic was to illustrate chaos.
It's not all just death + taxes around here though - last weekend we got out to Gallery Nucleus for the Curiouser & Curiouser show opening. I'm not going to front, I'm your average sucker for Alice in Wonderland-inspired art. It was a great little show; the best part being the maquettes done by Gentle Giants Studios for the new Tim Burton adaptation.
Speaking of, I'm really looking forward to it this weekend! I'm even willing to give 3D movies another shot for it.Labels: art school confidential, drawings

Happy V Day
Hope you all had a lovely VDay. Mine was filled with roses, red velvet pancakes, dog parks, the gym, sweetheart rose cupcakes, and (sadly, disappointing) Chinese take-out (in honor of Chinese New Year, of course). Nothing big, since R and I are just coming off the birthday-Christmas-anniversary train.
Happy Monday, friends! Is it too early to be looking forward to the weekend already?!Labels: holidays

Nine!

Today this blog is nine years old. Unbelievable! I'm still having trouble just calling it a blog, because back in the day when it was born, we used to call them personal sites. Ha! And of course, the first few years of archives have been removed to spare you (and me) from those ugly growing pains.
So much has changed about the content of this blog, and I'm just thankful for all you readers - no matter how long you've been reading. If this is your first time, or if you've been with me through those awkward times: thank you.Labels: site update
