The Week in Pictures: 1.8.10
Welcome to Wolfgang. Our house finally has a name: Wolfgang Manor. Honestly, my brother and I usually aren’t posed on the couch like this when people stop by to visit. We just did a shoot for a Swatch / POP Magazine collaboration and took a few extra photos with one of the setups.
Passports. My brother decided that he wanted to go to the Olympics (long story) so we showed up at the post office Tuesday morning for passports. My photos look like mug shots. His make him look like a 70s era Journey roadie.
Mall Food. We then stopped at the mall food court because he was hungry. He is always hungry. Always. Then we bought matching gray jeans at Forever 21 (as seen on our motorcycle shot below). Finally, we forgot which parking garage we were at. Four hours of my life I’ll never get back….but it was worth it.
Fool’s Gold. I have the best aunts ever. For Christmas, one gave me a huge gift basket full of candy and miscellaneous treats. The other delivered cashmere socks and gold coins. Wait….are those chocolate inside?!! Short-changed again, Auntie Nubs!
Space Room. Earlier in the week, I joined a pack of snowboarders at the Space Room for good conversations, cheese fries and drinks (be careful, they are strong). Don’t you love the ambience? They decorate it for every holiday.
Jam Time. Afterwards, I kept them company in the basement while they had a jam session. We then watched a documentary on Aliester Crowley. Black magic is always a great way to end the night!
Like Brother, Like Sister. My brother and I went jeans shopping at Forever 21 and came out with the same skinny, shredded gray jeans. We thought it was so funny that we hopped on the back of his motorcycle for photos and threw on our white leather jackets to complete the look.
Paperdolls. I just completed a piece for the upcoming M.I.S.S. Paperdolls show at FIFTY24 Gallery in L.A. The ‘dress’ is affixed with gold nails and lifts to reveal the body underneath.
Until Next Week,

Quite fascinated with all this tantalizing talk about the Paper Dolls exhibit in L.A. Wish I could go see, or better yet, contribute. Hmmm.

Aww… you and your brother are the cutest. Wolfgang manor is a great name for your house.
Oh… and PASSPORTS = YES TO ADVENTURES!

That’s a really creative idea with those paper dolls; something classic with an edge, I like it!
Ohp, and I need passport pictures, too. Olympics sound exciting!

Amelia Arsenic: Me, you & Europe in 2010, I hope!
Star: No LA opening in the cards for me. I never have time to make art anymore! This is the first piece I’ve made in a year…sad but true.
Insomnia: Yay!
verhext: Really?! That’s such a rad name. My brother is obsessed with it at the moment for some reason. My leather jacket was white when I bought it but my brother’s is spray painted white and looks super cool all chipped! A whole house post is going to have to wait…still so much work to do! But maybe we will start going room by room to show the finished parts.

You and your brother are adorable. I find him fascinating. Will send my blog stalkers over to his area of the internet. I already have them in place here! The name is great! Needs more taxidermy.
ONWARDS!

Ooh, I adore your red shoes + white pants in the first shot. I used to have a pair of vivid red pumps that never left my feet. I literally wore them into the ground. Want. Them. Back.

Wolfgang Manor? Perfect! I’d probably die of intense enjoyment upon entering your household.
[Reply]
I wish I was excited about the Olympics… I live in Vancouver and things here are crazy town.
[Reply]
Otto Tootsi Plohound. On sale. What could be better?
[Reply]
I am planning on going to that show, I can’t wait to see your work!
[Reply]
Plan on coming up for the Olympics? I think its so funny that a majority of my friends want to leave town when they come here (I’m from Van). Like the above poster said, if you do come here, be prepared for crazy town. That, and odd art sculptures that got put up around just for the olympics…
Like this one of Mao and Lenin (I have no idea why): http://www.vancouversun.com/life/Giant+statue+Lenin+talk+Richmond/2384389/story.html

I’m gonna do some blog photos with my sister. I’ve got three of ‘em! Maybe it’ll be a big posse cut that will be the blog post version of Tribe Called Quest’s SCENARIO, on the sly & the Family Stone tip. Yes man! Amazing.

PS: Represent for the Canadian chocolate coins. Those aren’t gold…. they’re LOONIES!!!
[Reply]
That first photo is so White Stripes-esque. I like it.
I also love that photo of you two on the motorcycle. It’s really cool that you guys are close.
[Reply]
there is a bear between your legs
[Reply]
you & Carey are the raddest
inspiring & incwedible! x

Auntie Nubs: We seem to have the best shoe luck when we travel together. Always.
Sean: Loonies is right! Those wacky Canadians!
SaraKate: It always cracks me up when people say they can’t imagine being that close with their siblings. I’ve always felt like family is all you really have at the end of the day so those relationships should come first.
mary: Awkward much? Yes. The things I do for photos. Le sigh.
[Reply]
hahaha!
[Reply]
You and your brother look like the White Stripes in that first picture!
