NEWS #1
I have a brand new, bever-before-seen piece I’m working on as we speak in next month’s Gag Me With A Toon group show at WWA gallery. This is the most awesome news, because I’ve wanted to be part of this exhibition since it launched four years ago and now I’m finally able to dedicate myself to doing just that. I won’t spoil the surprise, but let’s just say I’m taking a beloved character I grew up with and doing very bad things to it. And look at all these cool cats I’ll be showing with:
NEWS #2
Not exactly news if you follow me on various social networks, but! I shaved 3/4 of my head and hawt damn do I love it. It’s aerodynamic and exaggerates my various alien features juuust enough. RAH.
NEW [thing] #3
I haven’t really shown you these yet: new boots. They’re by Sam Edelman and I wear them almost every day.
That’s all I presently have time for. Onward, to coffee!
That’s a good news you finally can fully dedicate yourself to painting. Congratulation for this next exhibition; in the meantime, I will try to guess who’s that childhood character you’ll be painting.
Those earrings are fierce. Can I be a bore and ask where you got them? Not that I would buy the same but lately I’ve been replacing all of my candy-pink jewellry with, er, gother stuff. So I need to document myself. And I like their industrial look.
Thank you! It feels downright magical to be back to doing what I love most of all.
The earrings: they’ve been discontinued, according to my vendor, but there is a ton of gorgeous stuff here: http://www.bodyartforms.com/
Speaking of cartoon and chilhood heroes, Youri Norstein will be in Paris next month and I’m so excited! He’s invited by a cinema theatre to show his work, I hope I can meet him for a moment. I discovered his work through your (was it yours?) Coilhouse article on Little Hedgehog in the Fog. One of my goal is to work on stop-motion animation movie. I want more of them on television!
I love stop motion! I was practically raised on it, because of its immense popularity in 80s Russia.
The Youri Norstein article was, indeed, mine. That animation remains one of my top 5 all-time favorites! Lucky you, let me know how his showing goes :)
