Happy Birthday Pinky! You're an old lady! (yes, i'm obsessed with my dog)

Bluestocking BonBons

Recently I was contacted by this awesome woman, Lagusta, who makes vegan meals and vegan chocolates. She asked me to make her a banner that she could have at her booth for food fairs for her artisan, vegan chocolates, Bluestocking BonBons. Here is the end result.

check out the adorable ladies holding up the banner, here.

I want to make one!

(this is an amazing website, vancouver art in the sixties.)

Maybe I'll follow this and one day make one in my one day backyard.

Springing into Action

By no means am I a fashion blogger, I'll leave that up to the experts like Camp Comfort and Greedy Girl. But recently I was asked by Juxtapoz (where some of you are reading this from) to put together some spring outfits, so these were my picks. I just wish my wallet had enough fluid funds for these outfits... sigh.

flurry of mess

my desk as of late (and usually most of the time), i'm cleaning it today because i've got a busy week of illustrating, portfolio making, and just making!

the Root of it all

a couple weeks ago, Joel, Lisa, Pinky, and I took an impromptu trip down to Philly. Sometimes you just need a little vacay away. We stayed at Hotel Palomar (Pet friendly!) where they had one of the most amazing bathrooms. Seriously, it was amazing. Big jet bath tub, huge shower with a view over philly... sigh, i wish i was in it right now.

The trip was one big food adventure, we ate and drank and ate! (Check it out on numnum)

While walking around, we made sure to stop by Art in the Age, the company behind Root (this was one of our main reasons for going down to Philly)! Root isn't available everywhere yet, but you should try it. It tastes like Root Beer but full of alcohol. Its super good. Too bad for us, the liquor laws are all batty down there and when we went to buy a bottle on a Sunday the liquor store was CLOSED. wah wah.

Regardless the store is a really well curated store that supports artists and designers with high quality work, such as Rittenhouse, Wren, Lauren Moffatt. Check it out if you're ever in Philly, otherwise check out the online store.

Dust to Dust

Monica Canilao's Show is coming up at Cinders Gallery this Friday. I'm excited to see it, she does some amazing installation work. Here are some of her older pieces, you can see a sneak peek at her newer work here. I think it'll be more interesting to see in context of the installation.
