hairs cut

I've been wanting to do this for a while now.

Aveline and I are twinsies now (except I don't have silvery light blue hair and four eyes). It was just one of those things. I was going stir crazy with my hair, wanted to cut it but I didn't want bangs again or short hair, it just made sense. Aaaand it's inevitable, I'm starting to look like my painted ladies.
 It's a fun cut, you either love it or hate it ;)

Also, if I part my hair down the middle you can't even tell. It's like a little secret

Then later that night I cut Morgan's hair. With big kitchen shears. And I lint-rolled her back when we were done. ahahaha it works like a charm!

It has been a nice and rainy weekend with plenty of tea-drinking and Twin Peaks watching. Audrey Horne is such a baaaabe. Now excuse me while I go back to watching ;)

Lady Shipwreck, work in progress

Here's some previews of the piece I started the other day. My best friend Morgan is the model, as part of a collaboration. She wrote a beautiful song to go along with this, which I will share with you soon. I still have a lot of fine tuning to do on everything, as well as draw the tattoos and shipwrecks in her hair. But let me tell you, gold leaf is SO MUCH FUNNNNN. It's super shiny and pretty and half the time I just end up staring it.

 It's looking very Klimt-y to me, guess gold leaf will do that ;)

and uhhh, here I am hanging out with her. looking tuff.

more soooon. but right now I'm redecorating my apartment and there is stuff EVERYWHEREEEEE. I'm not sure when I started spending more money on housewares than shoes, but it makes me feel really old.

Also, I just listed a bunch of new prints in my shop, including Aveline and some of my new silhouettes. Like these lil darlings:

go take a peek ♥

Here are a few more images/previews of my new silhouettes for the show on Saturday. We installed the show last night, I'm super excited!
 

I made 13 total, all of which will be for sale on Pretty Pretty Collective's website, should be up by tomorrow if you wanna snag one up before the opening ;)

Also, I have a painting in a show at C.A.V.E Gallery in LA, opens Friday night (the 14th). Wish I could be there for the opening!

silhouette sneak peeks

Next Saturday is the opening of Winter's Shadows over at The Pretty Pretty Collective on January 15th, in San Francisco. It's such a rad space! The black walls will go perfectly with my silhouettes.

Here are a few little preview images of some of the ones I've been working on.

Can't get enough of the antlers ;) (it almost looks like I have antlers on my head in my reflection. yaaaay. actually, no, it would really suck to have actual antlers growing out of my head.)

punky girl. my favorite is her little nose piercing. teehee.

Plus a bunch more that you'll just have to come and see next Saturday!

so, I'm juggling like a gazillion illustration projects right now with deadlines like whoa. Somehow I'll swing it, I usually do. But, I wont be sleeping for a while. aaaand enter insanity. 

Someone shoulda told me being a full-time artist was so much work ;)
