a very important date…

Los Angeles was super fun.  I got down at Liz’s (Happyland’s) party Go Ask Alice, got to see lots of friends at the party (thank you Emily, Christina, Justin, Tim, Tim’s friend, Kat, James, Brooke and Sam), got to hit my favorite spot (Psychobabble) with my favorite civil engineer Kat, go shopping at Goodwill, get my American Apparel fix, walk up Vermont, see my cousin (thanks again Melissa for the pickup) eat bagels, drink home-brewed beer (oh Pepper!), sleep with Liz (which is always sexy), hang with Rubin (thanks for the liquid…), go to Mani’s Bakery with Brooke (oh, reminds me of college), drive a lot, in traffic, and do the old man cough.

More photos here…

the go ask alice dress…that nobody saw

I made this dress for Go Ask Alice, but nobody saw it because I got way to into Liz’s grandma’s cardigan (and I was cold).  Here it is now.  It is actually the print I did for the art part of her show.

still working on this, but to be printed soon…

eggplant, asparagus, pasta recipe I just made up

eggplant, asparagus, pasta dish

Ingredients:

1/2 an eggplant

10 asparagus

mozzarella

pasta (I used bowtie, but whatever you have)

pasta sauce (I used tomato based three cheese I think, but whatever you have)

dark rye bread

salt

pepper

olive oil

water

eggplant, asparagus, pasta serving

Preheat oven to 400 degrees F.

Okay, so first slice the eggplant and lay them all out.  Sprinkle some salt on them and let them sit.

Now chop up the asparagus.  Boil water (add a bit of salt and olive oil).

Go back and wipe the salt off the eggplant with a paper towel.

Pour the pasta sauce in a pan or whatever you are going to bake it in.  I used a pie pan thing.

Now arrange the eggplant and asparagus around in the sauce, drizzle some olive oil on top.

Put this pie pan in the oven and let it cook for about 25 minutes or so, until the eggplant looks cooked.

Cook the pasta.

Once the eggplant and pasta are cooked, take the pie pan out of the oven.  Drain the pasta.  Arrange the pasta over the eggplant etc. dish.  Now slice or grate the mozzarella and arrange/sprinkle on top of the pasta.

Now put the pie pan back in the oven for about 10 min, or until the cheese is melted.

Toast a piece of dark rye bread (add butter if you want).

Enjoy!

NEW SHIRTS: at the workshop

I spent last Friday at the Workshop printing some super awesome new shirts (buy one!) and another print for my friend’s show/party in LA later this month. The Workshop just started having open studio and I was their first artist to come in and print as such yay!  They also have some really cool and cheap classes for everything from screen printing to heavy metal aerobics.  Kelly was super helpful and I am hoping to get back at least once a week.  So buy a shirt so I can afford to make more stuff

cigarettes, coffee and condoms

I used these materials to get my image.  I wanted to create something out of some very commonly used items.  And items that are commonly referred to as vices, which is super debatable.  I guess smoking causes cancer…

Most of the shirts are already purchased as they were special orders.  But I pulled some extras so just email or call me if you want one.  They are $25 (dyed) and $20 (white).

Click here for more shirts.  They vary in dye work and print.  In the next couple of days I will have pictures of each shirt (front and back) so you can pick exactly which one you want.  This is a limited edition of 9, designed, hand dyed, and printed by me.

art fix: an afternoon at YBCA

On Sunday I had planned to spend the afternoon at SFMOMA celebrating ‘75 years of looking forward,’ but I didn’t feel like waiting in line, in the rain, for an hour just to get into the said shoulder to shoulder crowd inside.  Instead, I opted to view the current exhibit at the Yerba Buena Center for the Arts, When Lives Become Form: Contemporary Brazilian Art, 1960s to the Present and was pleasantly satisfied.

Not only was the gallery nearly deserted, but the work and presentation was fabulous.  I discovered many interesting artists and enjoyed many thought-stirring pieces.

what happens at the qbar…

Last Monday me and my friend Aero went to the qbar (thanks Ashton for telling us about this).  We got drunk and had lots of fun. We also got two straight men to follow us there, so go us.  And we got bombarded by, well, the oddballs that come with dollar drink club nights …

I had fun witnessing this progression of events:

omg I need you

aha ha ha ha I am the queen of the universe
