y'all were real great to throw that "surprise" party for otter. really, no, thanks. those things are always so much "fun" and so "original". he's really happy about it. especially since you jumped out of the closets and bathrooms and cupboards just when he'd gotten to the 8th level. woo. party-time.

proof.

FUCK YOU, apple.

2009-09-19T12:15:00.000-07:00

horse just spent his whole fucking paycheck on an iphone, too bad his huge-ass hooves can't hit the fucking keys. all alone, with no way to call for help. shit.

p.s. horse is really mint colored and the background should be gray but my scanner is a successful as three-legged hamster running a marathon. sorry.

friday the high is set to be 36 degrees in chicago. friday is also the day i'll be back in the city. back to my chilly hobbit hole. shown here.

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.

2009-02-11T21:22:00.000-08:00

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

reinforcement stage.

crafty paper sewing. not completely finished with this part yet.

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.

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

2009-02-04T18:43:00.000-08:00

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.

2009-02-04T15:04:00.001-08:00
