An Ebay knock-off of the Philippe Starck Victoria Ghost Side Chair in my office I am a big fan of mixing high and low when it comes to fashion and furniture. While I’ve always admired the Philippe Starck Victoria Ghost chairs, the $300+ cost wasn’t in my budget so I turned to Ebay to get [...]

The lighting at Noble Rot Wine Bar in Portland. This week, I finally downloaded Instagram and went a little crazy with documenting the world around me. I still carry my SLR everywhere with me but sometimes you just need to be sneaky to capture certain moments! Top to bottom: reprinting my portfolio at Kinko’s, lunch [...]

New (used) design books from Amazon that arrived today. It’s like Christmas! One of the highlights of my week was visiting the community college I graduated from three years ago to be interviewed by the Integrated Media department as a “student success story.” My former instructor took the photo of me above on set. At [...]

Dark Truth and The Arch, ceramic red crosses from the My Cross To Bear series. Details and scans here. When Amelia Arsenic was in town last week, we were in a bar catching up when she handed me a baggie containing this amazing double antler necklace. It’s a total show-stopper and I just love her [...]

Goodbye, Steve Jobs. Such inspiring stories about a truly inspiring man in this issue. On Thursday night, my friend Amelia Arsenic and her band Angelspit made a tour stop in Portland at The Hawthorne Theater. It was an all-ages show so I was in a sea of 16 year olds (probably for the first time [...]

Sitting in my dining room yesterday morning. Wearing: Zara sweater, F21 dress, H&M tights and Proenza Schouler boots. Beauty is in the details. I’m pouring resin this weekend so that I’ll finally have some finished art pieces to share! Late nights and simple pleasures. I just stumbled upon the Soda Pagoda yesterday. Brilliant. Over the [...]

Inside The Doug Fir. Photo courtesy of Rock N Roll Bride. One of my favorite freelance jobs this year by far has been designing a 40 page magazine for Rock N Roll Bride. Previously, I did her logo, blog header and media kit so we have a lengthy history together but this takes the cake! [...]

In Progress Art: Wood Red Cross, 18 x 18 inches. My inspiration of the week comes in the form of a burst of color that I pulled from a recent Boden catalog. I especially love the British spelling of color! My favorite little mythical creature Rocky HATES having his photo taken. But, when we’re shooting [...]

Anniversary photos, September 17, 2011. My print portfolio is finished and bound and I’ve taken it out for a spin quite a few times already…I just need to set aside the time to photograph it and show you! After years of reworking my portfolio, this is the first version that I’m totally happy with. Finally! [...]

A yearly tradition: standing next to George on Wall Street. The Arrival. I left for New York last Friday night and arrived Saturday morning, just in time for Bianca’s birthday party. But right away, I knew that things wouldn’t be the same this year. After all, it was September 10th, the eve of the ten [...]
