Oh heck yes!

A message from the past.present.

This is what the early 2000s looked like. Chances are the look will be back someday. Just say NO to Lady Gaga who is helping to promote a known, yet uncharged, sex offender.



Lady Gaga has teamed up with disgusting human being and uber famous photographer, Terry Richardson, to publish a book about her past year on tour. I think she is great about empowering gay rights and self expression but I have a problem when she promotes a man who is known for exploiting vulnerable young women. MAJOR HYPOCRITE.

Richardson is gross yet still considered untouchable, shame on Gaga for helping him remain so.

hot yum

Yes. (except the raisin one which i'm sure is delicious but looks weird.)

Yes and Thanks

This site is a plethora of inspiration.

UNURTH

I want the show I'm doing with my sister to go large or go home.

rope-a-licious

Been knitting with rope - its kind of unruly. Maybe I should learn some new braid techniques. This jacket has a lot to offer.

lovely person

Dear Sister,

I couldn't ask for a better person to have as an older sister. You are so much fun, a good mother, and loving wife.

I hope for only good times for you. I hope for only good things for little Zig. I hope to be like you someday.

Happy 30th birthday because I love you.

i have a dream

I dream to someday own a cute fro yo shop like this one, but with less hipsters and maybe more well behaved children.

only months

I think this photo is the first winter Ziggy experienced snow. He wasn't yet a year old.

shackles of blind tradition

I used to work in the animation department of National Geographic Television - as you can imagine we made a lot of infographics, many maps, sometimes graphs, biological charts.

This morning I came across some really neat visualizers that would work incredibly as stop motion animations. Its pretty inspiring, but styles like these aren't ever approved by execs who are married to National Geographic's traditional look.

I find it sad that the execs in charge of upholding such a prestigious label are unable to have the vision needed to pull the brands into the current century. They do not need to have art backgrounds but should trust in their artists (and not fire their art directors every 3-5 years).

Check out these Paper-Based 3D Infographics - quite an engaging way to present statistics.

bet they smell great

Really cool.

complicated

such drama - sing it

boooooriiinnng

So in order to get better I have to not stress myself out and go to bed early and not eat dairy and not do anything and lay down a lot and drink tons of liquids and not let myself get too cold or hot and take vitamins and purchase prescription medication. Being ill is for the upper class. I don't have time for it. Lets just remove these tonsils already!

bumps and pocks

this is what the back of my throat looks like. Strep for 3 weeks straight. FML

Hey all - sorry for the sporadic posts. Just been slightly off beat lately.

Enjoy the works of Ryan Todd

This is what came about 3 years after the Boston Tea Party which was a huge turning point in the growth of the American Revolution. Lets drink some tea in celebration. Hooray America!
