SPXxXXxXxoxoxo=HUgs and Kissuhs

After going to SPX and meeting lots of lovely people, Melissa and I have resolved that we must get on our "game".

Not only our single-ladies game, but also the single craft ladies game. We gain a super amount of more time than taken ladies seeing as we don't have to be making out all the time, not to mention that we never have to make sandwiches for anyone but ourselves, and this time should be spent on CRAFTKS.

Thus, I've uploaded some drawerings.

Seems like much of my time is taken up by making arts for other people, or for ike as in dwight. I should probably post all of this as well. There is that funny syndrome of having looked at your art for so long that it ceases to feel like you made it.

So! Herur sum pikturs.

Irony

It seems to me that the dude on the left said it first.

This is inspired by my friends' dog, Whiskey.

Mama and Bambino

Maybe the guy getting a shoulder ride can see much more from his new perspective.

I don't know if they're flying or falling.

I want to make super-old into a comic.

Even though very few people check this if you DO look at it, make sure to see Lizz Hickey's sick comics. She's a kooky kool gal.

THE CREEPIEST thing that is also really awesome (creepy can mean awesome) is that I actually met Lizz two years ago at an SPX. She had a lot of neat-o prints and it was one of the only thangs I got.

THIS IS SUM PRINT I GOT:

PS Kate Beaton is a genius and I feel like I scared her in admiration. I will post her "polite cowboy" drawing that I requested for roomate-Daniel later today.

How do people do all this posting business? I feel like there is far too much to post constantly.

Fact: All things are suddenly adorable when tiny.

My friend Jenn and I bought some Sculpey. This led to two full evenings of fun (and a little crazy). I made more creepy heads (to be posted in the questionable future) and we both made miniature food into magnets that burst with cuteness. Also, I finally finished my Gnome family!

To treat ourselves, we ate homemade cantaloupe ice cream! I found a simple recipe online after I bought two cantaloupes on sale at the store. It has a strange texture, but is delightfully delicious.

well.. catz plz.

This Post is a Card but not a Postcard.

Here is a letter I sent my sister, Meredith. We have begun exchanging handcrafted trinkets and do-dads to one another as a way of keeping in touch, exercising our crafty fingers and receiving mail, because who likes an empty mailbox, I ask you!?

This posts' craft medium: an old book cover and magazine clippings

OWLS R KEUT, DIDN'T YA KNOW!?

ME AND MO 'LISSA MAKING THE SHEEZ!

FWIRST RULL COLLAB ART PEESE:






It came out like, like, like, a LOT better than either of us expected it to. We keep looking at it in awe. It kind ended up being a tribute to Andrew Bird's lyrical finesse. What a hot dude. So talented. Hottness.

Realizing the Greatness of My Endeavors

I went to the Pitchfork festival in Chicago this past weekend and met a lot of lovely artists, both musical and otherwise. It has made me realized the amount of effort that I must put into my crafts in order for them to be up to the caliber that I desire. While I am glad that I can sketch intricacies quickly, there is simply no substitute for putting time into a thing. One must add that crucial dash, dollop, or splash of time.

Here is a flier that I created and handed out at the fest detailing the cd release of Ike as in Dwight-the band which has proven the time-clause.

In the next week I will work hard on some screen prints and perhaps this will show! Perhaps not. We shall see.
