Aw,Gee.

Well folks, I'm pretty bad at this whole formatting thing. My blog is gonna look kind of crappy for a little bit until I figure out the sidebar thing. WHATEVS. Anyway, how about an old glitter watercolor drawing I did of Charlton Heston in Major Dundee back in 2008?



OH BOY!
I want to put up some new drawings soon-I've been working on comics and things. Until I get access to a scanner, I'm gonna be a jerk and post all this old stuff.

Kiss an ape!

Shitty 80s Kartoon Korner

A couple of years ago, me and my sister wanted to draw and color in some crappy looking 80s cartoon-type characters. I don't have Ivy's, but here are mine:

A product of watching this:
BARBIE AND THE ROCKERS
And of course, these:







THE GOOD GUY-Probably named Molly or something. She smells like strawberries! AWWWW.



The sassy sidekick!

The BAD GUY! Her name is Spektra or somethin.

Also, here is something that gave me nightmares when I was a kid:

Hey Providence people,
My friend Zara, editor of Taffy Hips Magazine, is hosting a booth at AS220's Foo Fest this Saturday (August 14th) on Empire Street. In addition to selling copies of the magazine, Zara will be leading exquisite corpse drawing games and "tattooing" willing participants with non-toxic markers. I will be one of those tattoo artists,so come on by-the booth will be up from 11 a.m. to 6 p.m.

HERE IS OUR MOCCA TABLE, SINCE I NEVER SHOWED-YA!






I'm the skeeze in the funeral gear to the left.

Spotlight on...MARCY!

Here is a doll I made in 2007 (?). She is one of my favorite dolls, and I totally forgot how many little details I gave her. Made out of a light, kind of mossy-green fleece fabric, Marcy stands about nine inches tall. The undersides of her arm-tentacles are made out of metallic gold lame`, and her lower tentacles feature varying shades of gold rhinestone "suction cups" set with glittery green hot glue. Her open eye features a heart-shaped sequin and she wears sea-green metallic lame` eyeshadow. Both her eyes and her mouth are appliqued. Her hair is made out of this great handspun wool I got at a yarn shop that no longer exists. Marcy's dress is 1950s style and made out of pink vintage moire taffeta. Her neck is unsupported, so her head is sorta floppy, but that just makes her kinetic and fun.

HERE SHE IS:






I love her, but she needs a HOME! She is not getting the attention she deserves in my bedroom!

Meanwhile, check out the production photos for DOOMED, the upcoming EMSIAC film . I'm the puppet master/puppet consultant of Glofin (the tree), made by Allen Riley and Amy Reid. Photos are by my collaborator, Leslie Patron.

Some old stuff...

Hey, and why not?
Here is a life-size soft sculpture of a giant squid I made for downtown Providence's window installation series, Providence Art Windows . For a few months last spring, my giant squid sculpture hung suspended in a shop window on the corner of Westminster. I was very happy to be given the opportunity to insert a giant sea monster in the heart of downtown Providence. Read my artist statement here.

I plan on putting the Squid in a larger installation where he can swim freely in his own picture-window deep-sea habitat.


The Squid's eyes are hand-beaded, and the suction cups on his longer tentacles are vintage chandelier crystals. These features glittered in the sunlight-I wish it was easier to capture.

WHERE?

So...

Anyone who has found me here has probably noticed I have barely any posts. I'm using this blog space primarily as a hub for my projects,so if you would kindly direct your attention to the right, there's a column with all of my junk. THANKS, DUDES.

MoCCa was pretty much a success-we sold a lot of copies of Taffy Hips, talked to a lot of potential contributors, I sent some Lolita goths who make cool stickers home with a copy of my 1920s zine, sold some of my own stuff, and traded with a bunch of really cool people. I found out about Heather Benjamin, who draws the awesome zine "Sad People Sex." You can find it here: Printed Matter. Trust me, it kicks ass-pornographic line drawings of fiendish bleeding and crying people. IT'S GREAT!

Here are the two zines I was hawking (yeah, I only finished formatting two in time):


And here are some new (glittery!) water color drawings:





Zines are up for grabs-just email me. I'm selling the water colors for cheap cheap.

P.S.

I will be debuting my own zines, too! I'll post some images soon, in case ya wanna order some.
