basic elements

Stanley Chow is a genius at sifting out the basic structures to make one recognizable. Check it out its so much fun.

heart be still

Edward Gorey and Peter Neumeyer met in the summer of 1968. Gorey had been contracted by Addison-Wesley to illustrate Donald and the . . . , a children’s story written by Neumeyer. On their first encounter, Neumeyer managed to dislocate Gorey’s shoulder when he grabbed his arm to keep him from falling into the ocean. -FLOATING WORLDS

In the dark cocoon of a picture house, Cornell could become the hero of his imaginings, the handsome suitor up on the screen who was loved by quivering, spotless maidens and was worthy of their outpourings.

stuck

this is stuck in my head. Its not even catchy enough, all slow and what not.

do it up - you only live once

I met a very lovely woman over the weekend. She was tall as the day is long and had the bone structure of a supermodel. She was funny and thoughtful and even had a russian accent which I imagine many men would find a desirable trait. She was confident and intelligent.

I wished so badly to make her over. She was so sweet and naturally pretty but dressed like she was plopped naked amongst clothing lines in a trailer park and asked to get dressed while blindfolded.

Moral of the story? I am shallow. But also that one should give a damn about how they present themselves to the world. It really leaves others with the impression that you have a sense of self worth.

This is how I think she would like to be made over. Practical, Masculine, Comfortable. Still stylish.

wheee - those are stickers.

Found this on The Jealous Curator. Its like a 6 year old girls dream with the control of two 20 something old artists.

You go girl! And by girl I mean full grown men. Peyton Turner and Brian Kaspr

perspective

My mom used to tell me about how her mother raised bunnies while she was growing up. People were hungry. They weren't pets. Life was harder.

Its a story that helps me keep things in perspective.

growth and expansion

Pretty psyched - Just passed a major milestone in my profit margins on the Etsy Shop.

Stay tuned! I'm expanding to menswear with vintage ties.

long long ago

Once upon a time, long long ago, I studied the art of storytelling through experimental video. Here is one of my earliest assignments. My goal was to establish a location without the use of dialogue.

I took a risk and wrapped my $700 camcorder in a ziplock bag, duct taped the opening, rubber banded the lens and drowned it in my washing machine - as a student, it was a crazy chance to take!

Back then I made videos of things that I wished to see and share with my friends -many of them aren't good but I liked them at the time - I'd like to start doing this again. Somewhere along the way I became jaded, was told I wasn't good enough, trained enough, had enough experience, had a lot of doors closed in my face and forgot why I made these things.



more old work of mine

moving

Was introduced to the work of CY Twombly at the Philadelphia Museum of Art this past weekend. It was moving. I now have a reason to visit Texas which houses an extremely large collection of his work.

So easily do I forget how photography fails to capture the stirring qualities of paintings, sculptures, and drawings. Kind of ironic/moronic since I am an artist.
