friends of a feather

an example of just one of the v-tines handed out this weekend

in other news.....
katharine and i were in such a frenzy to get sugar and alcohol into our bodies on v-day that we grabbed boxes of conversation hearts, only to realized once we opened them up that they were completely in spanish. AMIGO.

1/15 scale tee-pee.


initial design.
i.e. scraps of sketchbook paper stick-glued together.

And you better believe there will be some major interior decorating going on. i hope the loveseat i picked out fits.

if paper had monetary value. hrm.

t vs. reality


in my mind, it makes sense that wings of birds are just individual feathers. no lie.

here's a nice bald eagle I fashioned from some paper.



by the way, there are 3-d paper-pieces in the works as well. wait for it.

cut-paper-craft


So, I've decided to embark on the wonderful world of cut-paper. time-consuming and unnecessary. but i think its quite nice. I started and finished the oil tanker tonight. The igloo I made within the last couple of weeks. They are both part of a larger collection or story, something that will be created in the future.


oh yeah, let me just add, my camera is a piece of shit. sorry.

Vestibule; a gallery.

I'm starting a gallery. it's in my apartment. come over and i'll show you.

artist submission forms to follow.
