Photoshoot

Yesterday the lovely Natali Truax came by my studio for a photoshoot. Here are a few. More later.

painting in my undies. teehee ;)

(I did some rearranging in my studio recently, but it's still not quite finished. I am much happier with my new setup. I was kind of in a weird little corner before and it was like an obstacle course to get over there sometimes. Dropping a brush on the floor was like, the worst thing ever. I had to do these weird acrobatic long-arm reaches to get to said fallen object. Plus, I'm surrounded by all my treasures now, like glass bottles, keys, candles & boat bookends! lalala)

We also went out in my patio for a little bit. San Francisco has been strangely warm the past couple of weeks. (luckily for me)

hairweaveeeee. Sadly my hair isn't quite this long.

This one is my personal favorite :)

Have a lovely weekend my dears ❤

Pretty Pretty Collective

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!

I love these little mirror-y frames. super cutesie. ((I kind of want to keep them for myself. ))

Sneak Peak + Photobooth pix

Here's a little sneak peak of some things I'm working on for the next issue of Cupcake Magazine. I can't share them with you quite yet, but I couldn't resist showing you a teeny preview!

 ---

Also, here are some pictures of Joe and I from the Best of SF party last night. Open bar and amazing food. I was definitely enjoying the pomegranate martinis!

(And don't mind the obscene amount of "scion" ads, comes with the territory of free photobooth pictures)

My personal favorite. even though we have sleepy eyes.

And thank you forever 21 for supplying me with a ridiculous amount of rings.

Have a lovely weekend my sweets!

lace & black part two

The other night my  friends and I had a fun little collab photo shoot session. Our original intent was to be vampires, but instead we were just vampy. (Thanks to Eugene for being an amazing photographer, we would have had a really difficult time using the self-timer. Bad news. )

P.S. my friends are gorgeous

Juliette & Lizzy

hot damn!

SF pics part 2

Some more little Konica pictures. My bestie is coming up to visit for a few days so I probably wont have many drawings to share with you this week, but plenty of photos! 

♥

MINK LOVE.

Me and my boo. Notice the splotch on my shoulder? Yep, a slug was there. F-ing disgusting.

The lovely Juliette 

Oh dear..

My work has been a little darker lately, undoubtedly because of the strange dreams I have been having. I originally started this blog to have a place to write about my dreams, but it's a bit of a commitment to write them down before they flit away. (I'd rather focus on drawing than writing anyway). I have always wanted to draw my dreams though. Could be fun, could be utter nonsense. (Like the high-heeled purple mink boots I tried wearing to the beach the other night). It seems my dreams influence my art anyway, so I'm indirectly writing about them when I draw. Anyway, thanks for listening. Now go enjoy your Sunday! 

And thanks to the lovely Elsie Flannigan over at A Beautiful Mess for featuring me in "10 Things I love Sunday"! ♥

What do you mean?

it's a little bit sunny today

Here is a pretty song for you.

Birthday Boots

I just love them so much. All of a sudden I'm starting to wear heels. I'm pretty short, so that's fine with me.

Here's a little dose of shoe voyeurism for you.

Oh, and I hung up a ton of frames on our wall.

Check out these girls. Theyre kind of magical:

Lace & C4 Explosives Part 2

 

A major advantage of C-4 is that it can easily be molded into any desired shape.
