A little sketchbook action going on. Picture those moths tattooed as part of a sleeve, oh so tempting. I wouldn't mind those flowers tattooed on me, either.

tunes again

So I really like the Vivian Girls. I got to see them perform in Memphis and they are such a great combo of cute and bad ass and seem so laid back. Pretty much I wish those girls were my bffs. Both Cassie Ramone and Katy Goodman have done independent projects recently, and I finally acquired the new albums!  Miss Ramone is now in the Babies, and La Sera is headed by Katy. Good stuff.

avoidance

I really have been in the mood to paint, but alas have not found the time. I made some watercolors but I would really like to get down and dirty with some oils. I want the challenge of making some art that I have to think about before making any marks, but don't have any brilliant ideas as of yet. Working at camp kills my drive to accomplish anything besides watching movies, which is not good because I should be deciding what I want to do with my life. But that's stressful, so I'm doing my darndest to avoid it. If you see me in the near future feel free to shame and reprimand me.

Also you should check out "I Want My Hat Back" by Jon Klassen because it is absolutely great. Simple and hilarious. Look how cute that bear is!

new embroidery

So my lovely mama and I are collaborating on a dress and I am crazy happy because the dress is for me! She laid out the pattern on the simple white cotton I chose and I am embroidering the collar and pockets before she cuts and sews so that it will be all proffesional-like. It's gonna be super summery and comfy, I can't wait until it is done!
