Art, style, space adventures

Stratosphere Messenger

My very first T-shirt, a collaboration with Plastik Wrap, is now available on Etsy. This jet-packed space vixen is ready for takeoff. Daunted neither by critics of wearing corsets while airborne nor potential danger ahead, she has all the necessities for flight. To the moon! Printed on durable cotton/elastane blend in opalescent blue, The Messenger shimmers violet, pink and silver. I originally conceived her as the poster girl for Coilhouse magazine and now she’s evolved into a wearable art collaboration …

MonkeyPigs

Photo by Lou O’ Bedlam There are at least 500 Coilhouse launch party photos to go through, process, scan in some cases, etc etc etc. Work that simply can not and will not be done today. No, today we regroup, rest and I put my apartment back together after dismantling it to provide you with the best photo booth props that ever were. But here’s me and Herr Piggentein [that’s Jhonen Mc Vee to you], to hold you over. In …

Everybody! Do the Jet-Set Ramble.

I have returned from the North with tales, photos and gifts. Presently barricaded in several layers of pillows with dog, Boards of Canada on the iTunes, amusingly enough. Get ready for an RSS bomb, reader! My last visit to Toronto was some years ago and was mostly devoted to hanging with Herr Piggensteen during various professional obligations and withstanding bouts of work-induced dementia.  I didn’t get to spend much time with the city, but all that is changed with this …

Earlier

Today Ego Assassin forced me to walk down a rather crowded Toronto street, in broad daylight, while wearing this.. number. It’s custom made and all mine and I love it. Sleep. Now.

Gone again, gone again

It’s been the sort of day that leaves one unable to compose a sentence, let along a blog post. Yet I insist on flooding your RSS feeds with nonsense. Endure! Received another present today, this time from my roommate: The Kama Sutra. I’ve been looking at the illustrations in confusion, calling her into my bedroom and pleading for clarity though none has come, yet. If you’re still not sure what I want this year, here is a hint or two. …

Caffeine, my love

I should be sleeping. In about 5 hours I’ll be waiting in line to face bureaucracy as a friend put it earlier tonight. But, before I attempt to convince my brain it’s tired, I thought I’d show you my new necklace. My birthday is this Thursday! The D gave me early presents, among them this necklace I’ve been lusting after. It’s a caffeine molecule, symbol of the fuel coursing through my veins. Despite my current, utterly frazzled, state, this is …

Here, there and everywhere

I’ve spent the past two weekends away and suddenly have an overabundance of images to shove your way, before they recess into the Flickr void. As I shake the last bits of sand from my hair and photos from this weekend download, here are some favorites from the most recent San Francisco excursion, all clickable for embiggening. First, a tiny dog I met in Berkley. His name is Punk Rock, though we may never know why. Stopped briefly at its …

Solo art show in Toronto!

Thursday July 31, you’re invited. It’s an art reception and it’s my birthday, thus the celebration shall be twice as festive. In addition to a display of never before seen art, you’ll be treated to wine, cheese and the chance to buy a limited run of Zoetica+Plastikwrap tees [only for the ladies at the moment]. This is all of course exciting for a variety of reasons, but especially because I get to be with friends. I first started talking to …

Internet woman, Valleywagged

  It turns out someone wants to see me through a Vaseline-smeared lens, lazily flopping around a satin-covered bed with Arianna Huffington. Not the first time, likely not the last. That someone is Melissa Gira. I knew it! Read her post, The 7 Internet women Playboy should have asked to get naked, on Valleywag.

Jeweled Flies

Just got my hand-painted Camilla Taylor teacup and  somewhat matching mug in the mail. The teacup fits right in. Also pictured: rocket pen, a souvenir icon from a 12th century church somewhere in Russia, ivory skulls, vintage costume jewels, helping hands, Contraptions Studio bracelet, a Molly Crabapple drawing of me as a demon chimp, photobooth photos
