Sweet embroidered pillows for anytime.

I stumbled upon adorable embroidered pillows at World Market.

Wish I could attend.

Typical Friday night with friends.

We sit around and watch partially frozen water turn into a strange water goo.

Someone squishy and soft is going to be sauntering into your life very soon.

Meet, Teacup Snowman!

Fern - a true, but tragic story

I spent almost two weeks in another country gathering resources and researching for the next installation of Kitteh in the City. I am so excited for you to see Kitteh's next adventure. Till then, here is a little side-story for you. 


I apologize in advance for the poor quality of the photos which I will update soon. I lost my camera cord and am unable to send the images from my camera to my computer. So, I took pictures with my computer's camera of the preview images from my actual camera, and voila! Shitty images, but I get an A+ for ingenuity.  :)

Meet Fern. She was most talented Leaf Cutter Ant model. Ever. 

Fern modeled for me when I needed a good representation of a Leaf Cutter Ant. She listened to direction well, and after our session was complete, her payment was a segment-of-a-segment of a juicy tangerine. 

Moments later, Fern had company.

There was a violent struggle.

Sadly, ending in death.

 RIP Fern.

Adi Golad and David Norman are geniuses for bringing this game to life. You can read the story here.

My favorite excerpt from the story, "Time after time, day after day, the game was reviewed and passed over by those so called experts who believed that it just wasn’t a “proper” fit for their company. "

HA!

Way to go, guys!

Fall Foliage Road Trip

In with the old.

Packaged art ready to be stored into the archives. I have cleared out my space to make way for all of the unfinished *new* pieces I have been working off-and-on for at least a decade. This work has me more excited than anything I have created. It is an amalgam of techniques I have developed over the years. I may have found a way to tie my various genres of art into one cohesive story.  More to come..

Brooklyn & NYC

Love.
