Thursday night began with me smooching a velvet portrait of Elvy that was hanging above my friends’ kitchen table in their St. Marks pad. Hello, handsome!   Tweet This Post

   Today, I turned 26. I have a weird fear of getting old, so celerbrating in New York with friends has become a yearly tradition; it’s way more fun than sitting home in Portland thinking, “Ahhh, what am I doing with my life?!!” Auntie took me to Magnolia Bakery in the West Village and bought [...]

Wednesday morning was spent in Greenwich Village; some of the apartments have ‘half addresses’ (such as 429 1/2) and many are mini-sized structures. So cute!  On one of the side streets, I spied this amazing residence tucked behind an iron gate:  I also visited the Meatpacking District for the first time– though it’s now overrun with fancy [...]

   Auntie Nubs and I arrived in New York Tuesday morning– we took the Air Train from the airport to the subway instead of the $45.00 flat rate cab into Manhattan. If you’re not in a rush and your luggage isn’t too heavy, the $7.00 fare is a great way to go, though with multiple [...]

Dark Hours, 2007 Collage, ink, paint, resin on wood 11 x 17 inches I’ve been working on new art slowly but surely. This is piece bears similarities to some previous work I’ve done, but I wanted to create it on a larger scale and add more detail with a fuller body shot. I’m also working [...]

   I am not a vampire, but I do have baby fangs that people seem to comment on quite often. Red lips and fangs, how can you go wrong with a necklace like this?! I was in IKEA the other day and a lady nearly fell over trying to get a good look at it. [...]
