pirate guy

I brought this pirate guy home from the thrift store to hold some pens and paintbrushes. I think he bears no ill intentions, but LOOK AT HIS SCARY WOLF EYE.



not sure if I should trust him.

You smell good

"You smell good," is one of those things that sounds much creepier when whispered than when said conversationally.

Best of Japan '09

Waaaaaay behind. Pictures from trip to Japan this summer.


Nara deer is a creepy stalker.


Recycling monster.


On the ferry to Miyajima.


Miyajima deer in the rain. The deer at Miyajima are pretty sad compared to the deer at Nara. They are supposedly sacred, but they get treated like shit. Nara deer are spoiled assholes.


A fence to prevent the deers.


The name of this store is Liquor Mountain. I think it's a really good name.


From a guestbook at a museum. The Japanese love poop.


Basically, my favorite picture of all time. Love that little man.


Hose box.


Adorable little guys. I think they're Jizo?


Black man super bikini.


Obama mask+ R2D2 trash can = Yes we caaaaaaaaaan!


All in all, a pretty good trip.

Raining. show's over.

Holy cow! It went from happy sunny day to black skies, torrential downpour in the space of two minutes. Possibly thwarting my plan to walk to the store. We'll see if it goes a full 360.

Also, the Sibling Rivalry show was a success. I need to post more. Some pieces are still available from Hyaena Gallery:
hyaenagallery.com

And I have just listed a few prints in my etsy shop:
stupid animal shop



Not sure what's coming next.

Trickster collection

Jury of selection for the fashion show is this weekend. Hopefully I survive to fight another day.

Sneak peek at the collection:

EGON

Say hi to my new doggie buddy, Egon. He came from a pretty unhappy life at a puppy mill, so he's still pretty shy. But he's the stumpiest, funniest little dog-face and he's starting to warm up to us.  I'm really into the little guy.

monkey business

I feel wretched. Sick again, for the second time this February. I wonder if I'll be healthy at all this year.

Here's what I've been working on... business card holders!


They're a lot of fun to sew up and decorate. I've listed the ones I have so far on Etsy, but I want one for me.


Some of them even have handmade buttons! From shrink plastic:



I also put up prints of a few of my more popular (?) drawings in the shop. When I feel better, maybe I'll take pictures of the cool clothes I've acquired.
