You can trip the light fantastic...

A screen print I made with two other chicks in my class. 3 colors, 3 screens on neon pink poster board. 11x17" prints. I have one extra that I'll be putting up on etsy tomorrow, yay.







It's the lovely Waltpaper, who has approved of the fabulously bright print. :D

Marc Bolan later.

Triple Threat

99.9% of the time I draw portraits. But...I technically can draw other things. Sketched this up tonight for the boys in Snake of Eden (which includes those lovely identical triplets).





Bitchin'.

Boobs N' Needles

Holy crap yesterday was a busy day. I guess I'll just go chronologically.

8am- Arrived at my craft elective. We were doing needlepoint. This is what I made






It's about 10x14"-ish. A lot of people chose puppies and flowers and stuff. I...didn't. :P The class is so funny, like an art student sewing circle. Except mine was definitely not your grandma's needlepoint.

11am- Printmaking, weeee. I'm doing my own independent study since I've already taken the class before, but I sat in on the screen printing demo project for fun. In a group of three we're making an edition of 10 prints using 3 colors and at least one image and one bit of text. And my group is doing a club kid-inspired poster. Totally not even my idea! lol No one believes me, but another girl in the group was listing stuff about each group member's work, and the two of them decided club kids were totally the most fun poster. And naturally I agreed. So next Friday I'll be printing those. Yay.


6pm - After a full James St. James filled day, it was time to cram even more JSJ into it with the real deal. The WOW Dollypop opening! Fun fun. There's a picture out there of me with Ure, Pep, Ollie, Shelly, etc... I'll post that when I see it. In the meantime, here's some pictures I took of the artwork before I got distracted.
















Let's see, I was also on camera being rejected by a random straight guy when James' matchmaking attempt failed miserably (LOL), chatting about my fabulous paintings, and trying to spell my bitch of a last name. I'm guessing none of that will make it to the final edit, luckily. Except the being rejected part was REALLY funny, so it's a shame people won't see that.

Aaaand, I didn't get to bed until 4am, was up early this morning to help take down Sweet 'N Low, and...I could use a good long sleep. And yet I have so much more to do!

It never ends.

Sweet 'N Low

Pictures from my senior studio group's show that opened tonight. Lots of good (pink) food, lots of people, lots of art.









Mine is the cluster of small works on the left. 9 of the bleach pieces, Nicki, and Billy Idol.




If you're wondering about the crooked hanging, essentially what this series of group shows is, is each section of seniors putting up what they've made so far. Because my group went first, we had to use work from junior year, and there was obviously no theme whatsoever. Since it was really varied work, we united it with a more visually interesting hanging style that made it cohesively random...basically.

The title is also just random, catchy, and made a good visual for the signage/promos, BUT it did end up being funny when our theme was all pink and "sweet 'n low", and the work was killers...pooping...gunshots...nudes... Very non-cutesy.

And now, full of cookies and jelly beans, I'm off to continue working on my needlepoint project of James St. James. Yay.
