Painting with blueberries & Oompa Loompa Geishas

June 9, 2011 – 6:22 pm

“asymmetrical haircut” (9 x 12″ bristol, acrylic & pen & blueberry juice

Haven’t used paint in any way for a long time.  It feels kind of good to use it now.  Though, being the rather sloppy person I can be, there’s little bits of paint everywhere on my desk.  I keep pressing fingers on my desk, only to hold them up to my face with still-damp smudges of green and black paint on them.

I managed to venture outside my air conditioned haven (sorry, environment), and the heat wasn’t as bad as I thought it would be.  Still, I am a bit worried that I’ll end up turning into a (geisha-esque) Oompa Loompa by the end of July…

This Oompa Loompa Wants Pudding and/or Flan

June 2, 2011 – 4:28 pm

"pudding mtn" drawing

“Pudding Mtn”, 9 x 12 on Bristol. Copic markers, pen, watercolor pencils.

Happy June, everyone!

Summertime has lots of perks, including vacation time, breathable cottons, and sunglasses [not to be worn indoors, however]. I hope you guys all enjoy these things.

Unfortunately, summer also brings — at least to the Mid-Atlantic – a horrendous downpour of sunshine and humidity that my Siberian blood (I’m sure I must have been Siberian at one point) VERY GREATLY DISLIKES. My skin is turning into a sallow shade of golden-orange from all this sunshine, and I fear I will turn into an Oompa Loompa any second now. Also, my summer has not been entirely wonderful so far, what with days sweltering under a hot car roof, a broken video card, not owning a stove just yet, etc.

However, I do know of a cure to beat these summertime blues: PUDDING AND/OR FLAN. I am not 100% sure this cure will work for everyone, and I haven’t even tried out the cure for myself yet, but what could be any better than tasty, sweet, and cold substances that are yogurt-like in consistency?

So just you wait, summer, I’m going eat at least 29109lbs worth of pudding and flan this summer; I’ll also drink 2910 gallons of lemonade for extra measure. So take that.

Project Dispatch Drawings for May

May 13, 2011 – 12:54 am

Eeeep, it’s been a curious couple of weeks with its shares of highs and lows. In between all those highs and lows, I have been thinking about adopting a cat and checking Craigslist every five seconds to refresh the cats listings. And in between all that clicking, I have managed to send out two drawings for this month for Project Dispatch:

Also, here are my materials:
