New Art Prints on Society6
I’ve been making some new art prints lately and decided to post them for sale on Society6. Besides posters, I could have my work printed on iPhone cases, pillows, hoodies and so much more but have decided to stick with posters.. for now.. Check out my Shop page for more info.
The Animals of Society6
I recently joined Society6 as a place to post and sell the crazy collages that I do. You can get a sneak peak here with a full post coming soon… Browsing through the site can be a bit overwhelming as there are countless incredibly talented artists out there. Here are some of my top pics...
New Experimental Videos!!: Found Footage and Timelapse
Just finished up 2 experimental videos. The first is “Plants: 27 Seconds of Awesomeness” and was my first time trying out my new Vello Wireless Shutterboss. I tested it out on my wonderful and talented boyfriend’s organic plants growing in the kitchen and am very pleased with the results.. The second is a video for...
Jerry Uelsmann and Maggie Taylor: This is Not Photography
I came across this trailer for a new documentary about the surreal artist couple Jerry Uelsmann and Maggie Taylor. Besides being successful and creating gorgeous images in their own distinct style, I find the two of them so fascinating as they are a working artist couple who are different enough to be uncompetitive yet similar...
From the Video Archvies: “Crack”
Welcome to my very first ever shot at After Effects! (I’ve since gotten a lot better…) As is apparent after watching it, I made this video in 2010 for a class project. As is apparent after hearing it, I very poorly recorded the song a couple years before that, probably in 2008. After doing some...
Teagan White’s Techanimals
There is something so magical about Teagan White’s art. Of course, the anthropomorphic critters are adorable but there is something sweet even in her technical illustrations of bugs and birds and decomposing deer. She’s based in Minnesota, but you can buy her prints anywhere with the power of world wide web..
The Art Book Hath Cometh
I’ve been making art books for about 10 years now, have always made them for myself and have never showed them to anyone. I suppose it’s a kind of therapy, art therapy to be specific, a way of dealing with life that is productive and beautiful. I make them from old text books, thrift store...
Liquid Art and Refraction Photography
I’m sure we’ve all been mesmerized by soap film and jelly fish before. But how about crazy colored water splashes? Or little mini worlds trapped in little mini water droplets? Markus Reugels has managed to capture all of this and more in his super crisp and clear photos. They are so colorful and amazing and...
Brooklyn Bound: Spring Break 2012 Part II
We ended our trip back in Brooklyn, NY where we hung out in parks, libraries, Indian restaurants and my favorite, Coney Island. Although I grew up in NJ, I’ve only been to Brooklyn a handful of times, always preferring the glittering Manhattan nightlife over the grittier boroughs. It was fun to check out Portland’s supposed...
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...
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”
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...
