How to Paint a Two-bedroom House in 24 Hours… …Is a post I would write if at least half of my normal brain activity was in effect. Since that’s not the case, allow me to instead plop these here photos on your screen, say “I can’t believe we Duddits!”, and attempt to soak the throbbing pain away in a bath of herbs and Jojoba oil. Also, I know the following picture is crooked and I’ll try to take it again …
Realistically, I shouldn’t even be typing right now, considering how tired I am, but I GOTTA. You see, Relocation 2010 is well underway now, with the soon-to-be-former Shadow Gallery about 2/3rds packed, and looking like this: It’s still difficult to wrap my mind around it, but after today’s labors I’m even more ready and PUMPED to move on. I’ve packed about twelve massive boxes so far, we’ve settled on eleven colors after picking from the below samples, and the ordination …
‘Suup! I’m dedicating today to learning new visualization techniques. There is a lot of exciting stuff in motion, and the next couple of months are going to be a beautiful tornado of activity, travel and, oh shneep, most likely moving in the midst of it all. As such, extra helpings of level-headed tranquility and organization are in order. Hence today’s plans. Here’s what’s going down. June MOVING Unless something goes horribly wrong, in the next 24 hours A and I …

On Saturday, hawtt shot photographer Lou O’Bedlam and I set out for the hills [a block or two away from his place] to find the perfect fence. We were on a mission to capture a couple of new items for the Coilhouse shop. I’d just gotten the hoodie the day before, and hadn’t had a chance to try it on before these photos, but now I CAN’T STOP WEARING IT. It’s a good thing I have several pairs of these …
A photo essay to gently guide you into the weekend.
Visual nutrition. Feed your eyeballs. One of the most beautiful deserts of my life thus far: sticky rice layered w/violet taro and coconut creme. Pale, velvety alien eggs. Nails in hair Nuclear sky over Culver City New addition to my 36FAIL project
We meet again, my fellow aesthetes. The occasion? I just got my hands on a myriad of Aromaleigh eye shadow samples and it’s been a while since the previous edition of Blush Response, so I decided to try the new stuff with an eye look I wear all the time: burnished smoke. It’s a quick and versatile method that’s worked on every face shape I tried it on, back in my professional face-paintin’ days. If you’re not doing this already, …
Gaze into Micron’s eyes. She wants to inform you that your weekend will be made of pure win. Resistance is futile. Aaand now I go, leaving you with a new, 5-day-migraine-inspired addition to the 365 project. Photo is hypersaturated. In reality, my hair is approaching the pale dusty violet over gray+cobalt+amethyst+black that I asked for at a salon last month. They failed to deliver. I took matters into my own hands.
Presenting some things I’ve been doing for your eyeballs! 1. A certain poster project took up most of last week. The art part actually done now, and it’s down to the design aspect of the beast, on which I’m hoping to collaborate with Courtney Riot, provided that designing Coilhouse issue 05 doesn’t drain her of all power. The piece in progress: Even though the drawing and coloring is finished, I don’t want to show the entire thing just yes, so …
This is what my never-ending 365 project is reduced to at the moment, for the most part. That’s because I’ve been reading and drawing and, by Da Vinci’s nuts, even painting! That’s not the big news of the day, however. Today on Coilhouse, we are revealing several major developments, among them our brand new media kit, a dropped in-store price, tripled distribution, and working with Last Gasp to bring Coilhouse Magazine to more independent stores than ever before. Mhmm, we’re …

Our very first edition of Oilslicks! Haven’t painted in ages, and it’s about that time. To kick things off, I painted a tiny study in acrylic and decided that medium just isn’t for me. However, some use did come from the experiment! I decided to clear a bit of room on my walls, so I’m going to be selling select oils. I’m starting small, literally. The tinies below are not easy to part with, but getting them out of here …
There was an epic party last weekend that I’ll tall you about as soon as I have all the images, but for now here is an outfit! Almost entirely gray, it features what might be my least comfortable and most fun pair of boots. Crazy-busy attempting to paint in acrylics, so just it’s the photos and a breakdown today. ZOOM! The Components Gray knit shawl Ribbed scoop neck tee Skirt [my skirt was supposed to be high-wasted but is a …
First things first. Ales and I thank you for all the wonderful, warm wishes and wedding congratulations. We’ve been going back and reading though the announcement‘s comments and, well, you guys are the best. Second, it turns out I have no time to write this week either! D’oh. However! I have stuck to my Spartan Resolution, donated two massive bags of clothes to Goodwill, and am beginning to list stuff on Ebay in an effort to rid myself of Too …
