Sometimes you just need a break: Ponytail Falls

Sometimes you just need a break: Ponytail Falls

Sometimes you just need a break. From work, from the computer, from the city, from modern life as we know it. Last weekend I took a trip with my boo and his mama to Ponytail Falls which is a fantastic, moderately challenging hike along the Columbia River Gorge. Enjoy the...
Kickstarter Cookbook!

Kickstarter Cookbook!

I’m very pleased to announce that a recent project is almost complete! A few months back, I was hired by an amazing Romanian chef and inventor, Lumi Dragan, to make a cookbook and calendar. The media is intended to be a reward for backers to her Kickstarter campaign that intends...
Business Card Madness!

Business Card Madness!

Just finished a letterpress class at Oregon College of Arts and Crafts. It was fabulous and for my final project, I made a bunch of these business cards with my updated logo. Don’t worry! I kept my signature font, Impact, but reversed my name the second time for a nice...

Yea! Do it...

Yea! Do it…

This inspirational poster comes courtesy of Hello Jack Design, aka Jackie Ho from the Bay Area. I propose that everyone get a print, post it on their ceiling above their bed and have the joy of awakening every morning to another day full of conquest. I first saw this design on a different blog who...
Mesmerized by Mark Whalen

Mesmerized by Mark Whalen

When I’m not busy selling my worldly possessions on Craigslist (orchestral tuner or motorcycle helmet anyone? They’re in mint condition!), I like to ponder my existence and our human conundrum by staring at the abstract yet somehow spot on artwork of Mark Whalen. Plus, he even ventured into video and gets an A+ in my...

I’ve been hard at work on a couple projects which are both coming to a close. The first is a cookbook for an amazing Romanian chef due out very soon… stay tuned! I’ve done all the photography and am neck deep in InDesign working on the layout. For now, you can check out some select...
Artspiration: Animal Spirit Collages & Other Trippy Brilliance

Artspiration: Animal Spirit Collages & Other Trippy Brilliance

March’s art inspiration comes from Christian Collins aka Blue Spectral Monkey. Collins is an artist, musician, masseuse and maybe distant relative who’s showing his awesome crazy trippy hand-made colleges at Backspace Cafe in Old Town through the end of March. It’s hard to tell that they were made by hand and not on the computer...
On Movies and Meat: Svankmajer's "Lunacy"

On Movies and Meat: Svankmajer’s “Lunacy”

I like weird movies. Except to me, they’re not weird but perfectly normal entertainment that for some reason or another isn’t popular with the masses and is therefor hard to get. I like movies that push my limits, and my limits are miles away from the boundaries that define our society. So, it is with...

The Instagramaphone…

If you haven’t noticed yet, I don’t do social media. I don’t have a facebook or twitter account, I can’t find my LinkedIn password in order to delete it, and I really don’t know much about all the other platforms like foursquare or whatever. (However, I do have a super old myspace for my old...
"Heavy Hand, Sunken Spirit": Mexico's Violent Drug War

“Heavy Hand, Sunken Spirit”: Mexico’s Violent Drug War

Photos from the front lines of any war are always disturbing. But there’s something about David Rochkind’s photographs of the consequences of the Mexican drug war that are particularly memorable.. in a horrible and creepy yet beautiful way. “Mexico is a country in crisis,” Rochkind writes. “The government is battling the drug cartels, the drug...

Inspiration: Snow, Paper Cutouts, Deer with Bows

Came across this new video for Beats Antique’s “Revival”. While I’m not the biggest fan of their music, I absolutely LOVE the video! It’s everything I want to be making and plan on making. And if you know me, you know that I do what I say I’ll do.. so.. watch out! But anyways, gotta...
Someday Lounge Cello Show!

Someday Lounge Cello Show!

Come one, come all! This is your once in a lifetime chance to see the one and only Triana del Fuego perform improvisational looping madness on cello, guitar and perhaps her voice box. You may know her from Cello by Triana but this will be a much wilder experience than the tame, soothing sounds of...
New Video: "Florida"

New Video: “Florida”

Took a holiday trip down to Florida to see the fam.. and of course, had to make a music video out of it! Most of it is featuring my boyfriend Tyson and sister Tara simply because they happened to be around the most when I had my camera out… and they’re both super cute and...
Vacation Photos!

Vacation Photos!

Just got back from a warm sunny vacation in St. Petersburg Florida.. It’s hard to come back to our northwest winter yet nice to get out of the Florida sprawl. It can get a bit repetitive when every road is lined with strip malls for miles on end. But, great vacation nonetheless! Especially cool architecture...
