Oddments

While cleaning my apartment I found some things I never posted, so here they are:

my first cameo

 Olympic Pajamas

 Nude silhouette 

Fun fact: this one was an early version of Chubby Grim Reaper
which none of you have seen because she was a going away
present for Michelle, just imagine this figure in black
with a scythe in her raised hand and a skull at her feet

Return of the Construction Paper Lady

It's the ladies of summer:

Short Strides - Long Strides

Hot Sand!

Marriage of Equals

Big Words

Last month I wrote and read a monologue as part of Big Words (I forgot to post it until today):

Follow the link and see a god awful picture of me and read an excerpt of my monologue, Plus less bad pictures of and monologues by other people.

Gift Wrapping (never buy it)

Late Father's Day/slightly less late birthday present for my dad.

I decorated this 9" x 12" envelope (the quarter is for scale) in reference to A Letter to Amy by Ezra Jack Keats which my dad read to me about a thousand times when I was little.

** I DID NOT MAKE THIS IT IS A REFERENCE PICTURE **

You can see the letter and the dog who I put on the stamp in the hopes that my dad will get the reference (he won't but he'll love it when I explain it to him)

Shape Collages

Dana subscribes to Shape Magazine and sometimes I hack it up and make terrifying chimeras. 

These are they. (The previous sentence is a Venture Brothers Reference)
