The GeeWaWa Femme (a.k.a. THE CLAW) is definitely not for the faint of heart. Equal parts Gene Simmons and Minnie Mouse, it’s a monstrous powerhouse that screams, “I mean business!” when you enter the room. The gnarliest mary jane on the planet, the Femme allows you to look cute while kicking ass. I had never [...]

Today wouldn’t be complete without a little shout-out to my all-time favorite Virgo, Michael Jackson. It goes without saying that his influence and legacy will live on forever. I remember when I used to show up to my first agency job and the boys would say, “You look like Michael Jackson!” Ha. I thanked them [...]

Exactly one week ago, we came, we saw and we conquered Disneyland. Though I’d been to Disney World three times in the past, I’d only been to Disneyland once previously (last February) and since it was during Spring Break and overly crowded, I didn’t feel like I’d gotten the full experience. This year, I was [...]

It’s still toasty outside but Fall is already on my mind. While on vacation in Los Angeles earlier this week, I found the most perfect scarf at H&M. Black and white with a graphic print, to me it has a very Marimekko feel. New accessories are a great way to freshen up a mostly monochromatic [...]

Greetings from sunny Los Angeles! I’ve had an amazing time so far with my Virgo Partner in Crime™ Gala Darling. Highlights include trekking through the winding hills of Topanga Canyon to visit a vintage store housed in a crazy victorian manor, dining on smashed macaroons courtesy of Miss Mary Bee, walking along the beach in [...]

What was your style like as a teenager? How did you dress and what kind of fashion were you into? 16 and Sleeping, 1997 — Photo by Auntie Nubs. Ah, the teenage years! It’s very funny to think back to the not so distant late 90s, when I was in high school (I’m focusing on [...]

Normally when I do an interview, I don’t repost the full contents here but I felt that a recent one I did with photographer and client Luke Copping had some valuable content that may be helpful to some of you who are new to working with a designer, building a brand or establishing yourselves in [...]

Last year, I designed a collection of goggles for Smith Optics, a premium brand of goggles, sunglasses and helmets. Each of the styles feature my collage-based art and male, female and unisex models will be available for purchase in 2011. Back in 2008, I had a solo art show at Portland agency Nemo HQ. Later, [...]

Over the last two weeks, I’ve been working closely with Star to freshen up Nubbytwiglet.com. After nearly 3 years and close to 1,000 posts, it was time to implement a slight face lift. Besides the obvious changes including a Twitter feed and a wider center column, I thought I’d point out a few new additions. [...]

If Little Red Riding Hood had a penchant for mod attire and listened to black metal, I imagine that she’d wear something like this. A few weeks ago when I wore it for the first time, I forgot to mention that my Rick Owens jacket came with a detachable cape. Yes, a cape. I zipped [...]
