Zine time

This is a zine that I receantly made, it is about my friend with cancer losing her hair. That never happened. She died before any of that could happen. Sometimes though, I imagine what life would be like if she had been given a chance to fight. I think its the most important piece I have made in quite sometime.

Ladies in the water

I think about lia a lot. Though the only way I am able to picture her right now is in the hospital or floating along in the ocean. I like the later image much more.

It's been a while

Yes, people who don't read my blog, it has been some time since my last post.  I blame it on my ever expanding laziness.  And the fact that it has been an eventful few months, complete with graduating, breakups and makeups, traveling, and being a down right terrible person.  I am here, trying to make something of myself.  Maybe.

Anyways.

Heres a few pictures of my grad piece.  It was a zine cataloging the time I spent as a patient on a mental ward.  It was all very exciting.

If any of you readers (none probably) want a copy of this zine, email me and say so and I will mail you one.  It is very nice.

Dumb dumb dumb

I dropped my laptop today.  Actually my bed dropped it.  Pushed it really.

I am sad without it.

I honestly don't know what to do with myself.

Here is a sad piece I made about one of my good friends passing away.

Oh I'm getting so good at this blogging thing!

Had a nice lazy day so far.  Well.  Not lazy.  Its actually been quite productive.

Im getting shit done.

So.  Here are these pieces.
I made them for the Fourth Year Painting SHow that was held at my school.
I like to think they are funny.

And this what it all looks like hanging up all fancy on the wall.  Tah-dah.  I actually make shit.

I am not good at this

Hello there,

I am an awful blogger.  I am very inconsistant and have had complaints because I'm sooo popular.
Im busy alright.  School and things are sucking up my time. 
And it doesn't help that my computer and camera won't sync up anymore, so I am forced to either use boyfriends fancy laptop or parents ancient thing.

Had a grad meeting today.  In a few short months I actually have to graduate and become a real adult.
I haven't decided what I think about this.

Anyways.

Here is a piece I made last summer about an asshole bartender I worked with.
Yeah what a great guy he was.

Not too much time on my hands

Sorry I haven't posted in a while (to anybody who actually reads this thing).  Since school started up I have been trying to juggle school work and slowly dying of the flu.  I will be better, I promise!  I have been working on a few piece's while I was in my flu induced coma, a couple crochet dollies with swear words crochet into them (which really just make me giggle) and another little piece that says "big hoes break hearts".  Alright.  Thats all I have got at the moment while I sit and wright this in my pyjamas.  If anybody actually does read what I wright, pictures will be up later in the day.

Monday Morning Blues

It is officially my last first day of school.  Bitter sweet I would say.  Well more sweet at the end of class today because it went on far longer than my attention and my computer battery could hold on.  Am I right?  Anyways.  Here is a piece I made this summer once I got back from New York and was full of "Im going to do things differently" feelings.  And the other day a girl walked by my studio and saw the piece and was all "oh I have felt the exact same thing before.  So that was nice.  To see people actually relating to the things I'm making.  Its nice.

Ode to PTH



We all get jealous.  Especially so when an ex girlfriend is always sniffing about in her lady gaga esq. over the top, slap you in the face sexy outfits.  Bitch's always hanging around.  Yes I had to use that many descriptive words.  And then I made this piece.  To get out all of my pent up jealous rage.  It doesn't happen often.  I promise.  Im not a jealous person people.  DONT JUDGE ME.

In order to graduate my programe you have to write a grad paper.  Hence the "grad" part.  So to follow along with my practice, I wrote my grad paper in my sketchbook.  AND.  Chris Willard, swoon, left this note for me.  Ugh way to make me fall more madly in love with you.

This is the first thing I am posting.

Hello there everybody who is not reading this.

I have decided this year I was going to go full out resolutions style and one of those so called resolutions (what) is to NOT be a lazy artist.  And I needed something to put on my business card that I'm printing out when I graduate in just a few months.  SO.  I made this blog.  I will post things that I make (all blog like) and stuff that I think.  Pictures might take a bit because I am technologically challenged and can't figure out how to get pictures off my camera.

Alright.  Thats it.
