I am here.

Twenty five thousand works that are new, coming soon.

acting out fears

I eat dust.

I recently spent a week in San Francisco celebrating Rob and my best friend Lupe's birthdays. We managed to buy some Polaroid pack film (3.25x4.25) and give it a try. It's sad that they decided to discontinue the film.

This is Rob on Lupe's "balcony." It's not really a balcony, it's the covered area above her front door and a bad place to play if you are drunk. I've noticed if I push the exposure the photos develop a nice blue cast.

There is amazing potential for tricky multiple exposures.

After a little practice I figured out how to make some lovely mistakes.

This creepy picture was taken by Rob.

Other than that, I have been so tired. We now serve alcohol at the Javalounge, so by all means, come by, get drunk, and leave me a much larger tip than you intended to.

Now, I am going to go paint mermaids and girls with no arms.

Look out for stuff coming as soon as possible!

ok, ok, I put some stuff up!



I have been so busy. This might be the busiest I have ever been in my whole life. I am just dreaming of the moment I can relax and bask in the glory of having nothing to do. I cannot remember anything, so here is a summary of what I have been doing in no particular order:

-Visiting the Lupe in the city. Drinking wine on the beach. Devouring a whole pound of chicken strips. Waking up to tea and freshly baked chocolate croissants. Not ever wanting to leave.
-Work
-Wah Wah Exit Wound played in San Francisco with Times of Desperation at the Hemlock Tavern
-Wah Wah Exit Wound played with Times of Desperation and my pals Iguanadon at On the Y
-Lupe visiting us here, going to the river and the park, putting away wine and Mexican food all weekend
-Going to Tuesday night art party at Skinners and Kristie's, getting to see a sneak peak at what's going down at Upper Playground this month!
-An acidcop show Saturday night in Davis. This will definitely be interesting and scary.
-Times of Desperation lighting off fireworks in my heart tomorrow night at Gilman.
-So much other stuff, everything but a nap.

I've got youth on my side

Totally starting an etsy and making a website. Time to hustle.

Corine Sainte Ofle is so lovely. Even though she had to pack and jet away to France, she still came by work to hang out with Rob and I for a while. She took this Polaroid of me next to the drawing Nikki did of me in the bathroom at the J-Lo. It got me thinking of the land camera that I have been meaning to use. I also have a joy cam and a square shooter that I can't find film for.

I read that Polaroid is phasing out their film and so I bought a twin pack from Filco. Rob and I shot three pictures that all came out very dark. We finally realized that it needed a battery to calculate the exposure, although it was odd that we were still allowed to shoot pictures. So, we are now in the process of tracking down a 3 volt alkaline battery. Wish us luck!

I also want to get some of the 600 series film and a Polaroid one-step.

I've been working night and day!!!
Alright, maybe not that much.
I saw a lovely fashion show and my friends have come by to visit me and nothing tops that!
Adjusting to getting up at 4:30 in the morning has really taken it out of me. I have hardly painted a thing! I did buy a huge piece of watercolor paper. I don't know how huge, but definitely larger than 18 x 24 inches.
