wintertime thingies

helloo friends!
here are some process shots from my "tea sprite" piece for Cecil Kim's Forgotten Creature show
at his restaurant, Liliya, in downtown Los Angeles.
The show opens this Saturday, the 11th and features a boatload of my very talented buddies!
Come, eat, and be merry!



i need to take proper photos, but i will on saturday.
there is green "tea" resin involved now, and glitter.

also, i was feeling especially yule-tidey and made a wreath and decorated our little bonsai tree!

and finally, because everyone cares, here are some pictures of the cats.


hobo and pocket are new roommates and dont really get along,
even though they are estranged siblings. the first two photos are before the drama started...
just simply looking at things that cats look at out of windows.
pocket in the bedroom, and hobo waiting for her to come inside, so he can play with her.
and she can run away. and hiss. and growl like a banshee.

its fun, i promise.

Fiiiinally!

Hi friends!
So I finally have finished not one, but TWO pieces,
after a much much too longer leave of working my ass off at a real job! yay!


the first is a little sculpture based on The Ring,
for my first time showing with WWA Gallery in Culver City!
the show is
Horrrorwood and it opens on October 15
it should be a great show, featuring lots of my buddies!
9517 Culver Blvd, Culver City 90232
more info here!

oOOoOoo scaaaryyyy! no?
i saw this in a theatre full of screamers,
one of which may or may not have been me.
i also heart creepy victorian children, so it worked ou.

Also this weekend i finished a piece for an online charity auction show for the Busted Foundation,
which helps women with breast cancer pay for their medical bills.
The auction isn't up on eBay yet, but you can learn more about the foundation here!
she's based on the Greek myth of the Amazon warriors,
who were said to have removed or cauterized one of their breasts
so that they were more easily able to shoot arrows and throw spears.
they were fierce fighters, much like those fighting life threatening diseases.




Yay for finally making things!
