and now a bunch of other pictures just because:

my studio is turning in to a bit of a jungle. I have plants eeeverywhere.

It's so peaceful sitting up in the loft, especially in the evening, feeling the warm breeze coming in. half my day I spend up there, lounging on the couch, sketching, reading, drinking tea, looking down at my easel.. pure heaven. 

oh, and i'm becoming more and more of a jewelry addict. HELP.




mmmm days at the lake are my faaaaaave.

Also, you may remember me mentioning a while back that I did some designs for Volcom..

They'll be hitting the stores (in US) this December, keep an eye out ;)

I had two photoshoots last week in my studio,

Another fancy lacy shoot with with Natali Truax for Sex + Design Magazine's September print edition.

tattoos, babies & Lady Gaga posters

Soooo here's a lil update on the past few weeks.

Started on my half sleeve a bit ago. If you follow me on instagram/facebook you've probably seen way too many pictures of it already, but here are way too many more

the stencil before we got started:

My friend Derick Montez at Picture Machine designed it. It's totally me. Tentacles, boats, eyes, tiger lilies, jewels & pearls. All things I love tied together beautifully.

before the ol puff arm / swellbow set in..

The first session was around 5 hours, we have another few to go on the shading + little details.

Here's a lil better picture after it healed up.

Black & gray tattoos are my faaaaave.

Okay, enough about that. I also went home and met my baby nephew Johann, HE'S SO TINY OMG. So so cute.

In other exciting news, me and two other artists were picked by Lady Gaga to design a poster for her album release. They're being sold as a limited edition in Etsy's store, she signed a few copies of them. All proceeds go to VH1's Save the Music Foundation, which is pretty rad.

She liked my Headache painting, so I just went in and added the text on top of it + a few minor tweaks. They're for sale here. (Both signed & unsigned)

aaaand I've been working on a new painting, for my upcoming solo show at Shooting Gallery in January. Get ready for a ton ton ton of new work, mostly feathers & witchy girlz.

Ok enough for now. bye!
