If you want to see how Paint Pens in Purses created such an awesome POP-UP Gallery show...

CHECK THIS OUT!

The Phoenix loves Paint Pens in Purses.

And we love them!

My artwork (and me!) make some sweet cameos.

Cloud 9? I'm onz it.

Again, I got this non-photo blue pencil, and this was my first modest attempt drawing with it. 

I applied it far too hard, but now I know better.

This piece is about my heterosexual life-mate, Jessica.

I drive her around a lot, so it is mostly about our mini road trip adventures.

"Absolute Amazement"

I think jackalopes are better than candy.

I just got this non-photo blue pencil and I'm going crazy with it. Scanning has never been so much fun.

Gabriel Felds

I have just been informed my Monday night yoga teacher, Gabriel Feld, passed away. He was in his 20s. 

Please, when you have a chance to say something, like how you appreciate what someone does, and how he or she adds something special to your life, do it. Because you may not get the chance tomorrow.

Thank you for everything Gabe.

I do like yoga now.

Guerilla Warfare

I'm going to start putting up flyers around Boston, so look for them!

Free comics!

Big thanks to Steve O. from mindlessphotos.com for checking out the digs and taking some photos of the Paint Pens in Purses girls hanging up our Pop Up Gallery art show.

Here are some pictures of my art from his website. Check out more highlights on his website!

I'm so excited!

That's me hanging up Molly David's work for her. She couldn't make it, so I helped a chic out.

PPP love!

Marty's Liquor Take Ovah!

Please!

The ladies are taking over everything!

I thought this was hilarious.

Now the ladies in the bathroom know NOT to waste water.

Fresh.

Ready, Set, CAT SUIT!

First off, sorry this picture isn't of better quality. It was taken with a camera phone, at 10 pm... after painstakingly working on the thing for ten hours. Thanks J Mac for the fancy camera phone work.

Second, it's DONE! 

If you'd like to see my performance, as in me in the cat suit, looking creepy and awesome, come to the MassArt Art Education Senior show closing reception in the Student Life Gallery on the second floor of the Kennedy Building. 

I'll post the date when I know when it actually is.

It's furry. It's soft. And, it's me.

I'm a fucking idiot.

On more then just one level, I assure you.

Eh, I thought it was cute.

(Me!)

Been feeling a little overwhelmed lately. School, internship, and all that jazz.

My birthday is next Friday.

I don't know why I create giant expectations for that whole thing.

Me: "It's my birthday!"

Real World: "Shut the fuck up. No one gives a shit. You're 23."

Me: "Oh yah..." (inner child destroyed)

What I'd really like is some pink pointy birthday hats and a unicorn shaped cake. 

You know. Like the good old days.

I hope people come over for a beer, maybe a hug, and a giggle.

That's all I really want.

I think I want to give a shit because this is my first birthday without my Grandmother.

Grammie.

No phone calls from the Navesink River this year.

I think that's what is giving me some mean blues.

I'm missing that feeling when things are safe.

Maybe I'm feeling this way because the seasons are changing...?

Who knows.

Yuck, forget it. 

I'm just being a complaint.

"Fucking Jump, Brad!" Funny Ad From Videography Magazine, 1990

A weird advertisement comic- hybrid I found while flipping through an old Videography Magazine from 1990.

Check it.  

"Wow! This place is a video Valhalla!"

Hah, oh the 90's. 

Some new work I'd like to share.

I'm trying some new angles... let me know what you think.

Please, I've been in much more pain then this.

Oh, God.
Adulthood is becoming bitter sweet.

I just finished my resume.

Anyone in the market to hire an eccentric comic book artist who is bitterly and emotionally effected by everyone in her generally normal everyday life, and envisions herself constantly wearing the skins of a black cat?

No?

I'm not surprised.
