Good morning! Closer to noon here, actually, as I’ve managed to inexplicably sleep past 10 for the second day in a row. After several minutes of cold-sweat-panic and confusion, I’m now enjoying it with a mug of homemade mocha and a pile of photos to dig through. First up, a few shots from the Conjoined reception. Below is me with my Alien Botany paintings – don’t let the squint-face fool you, it was a super-fun night!
To finally finish not one, but two paintings after five [!] years, and to exhibit them in such great company felt fantastic. More shots from the reception below.

Conjoined 2 by Chet Zar
Many, many more photos and an article I wrote about the exhibit are up on Chinashop. LA Weekly has a piece on Conjoined 2 as well, with a few words from Chet Zar, Kevin Kirkpatric and myself.
In all the excitement I ran out of time to document my outfit that night, but it included black Galaxy leggings from Black Milk, Trish Summerville platforms from H & M, the black and grey GHST RDR jacket and milky blue opalite jewelry.
I’ll try to be more vigilant with outfit documentation in the future. For now, I have tattoo commissions and a very serious post office mission to attend to.
oh, black milk leggings <3 but why are they so damn expensive? :( (at least for me…)
Not just for you, Lenore – they’re definitely pricey.
I’ve noticed that things generally seem more expensive in Australia, not to mention that it’s probably not easy to create this type of an all-over print for spandex.
The show looks amazing! nice work! I love the wood panels. And those are some nifty tights! I love the outfits postings ;)
Love those tights and boots… and still hope you end up selling prints of these pieces, they are GORGEOUS!
Holly Gil – thank you! I love me some Galaxy tights, will try to document them properly at some point!
Holly – ch-ch-check it out! The prints exist and are available in limited quantity.
Please tell me where that necklace is from. It is gorgeous.
