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)

Return of the bead loom

This is the last of the Met store posts because I left that job three weeks ago. 

For a while the Empire State Building, masquerade masks and this Coke bottle shaped woman kept popping up in my work


One day I was working on it and a customer informed me that "her hips don't lie".

Sir Metropolitan

More of my art at the Met store. It's a dragon.



Fashion Design Kit

I made these at the Met store. It's a kit, and it's pretty good, despite the resemblance to Bratz Dolls.
