tiny houses--paper assemblage

I've completed several new "tiny houses". Using vintage ephemera, chip board and acid free adhesive, I cut and paste and play until the little house tells me it is complete. I am planning on matting them and throwing them into the etsy shop. I just love them!

poker chip eyes

I just love this picture. It captures the wonderful kind of crazy that happens at our little parties. I tried to melt the edges of the pic in photoshop. Weird but cool--like us!

suicide king

I want to create a screen print using this image of the ol' suicide king but I don't know how to go about it. I think he would look fabulous up against a background featuring a brick wall or a bank of windows. What if he could be rendered in tiny red dots and pop off of a gray backdrop? We shall see...

New Prints

Jeez-- It's harder to come up with new posts than I thought! Coming up with new art is not as hard. I've been working with some vintage bingo card images and that ever lovin' old truck that I can't seem to get enough of. I am pleased with the result. The second print features an old ad from a 1940's gardening mag. The ad is for Cherry Tree varieties-- don't you long for the old days a little bit?

Largesse

Though Mr. Warhol is likely spinning in his wee grave, I present to you the 4 panel screen print du jour "Scratch" in blue and green. I like working big!

...The Feel of the Ocean and The Taste of Champagne

I'm thinking ahead to summer and our Rupert Holmes anthem is at play in my head. What is going on with the roses? Blousy, blown out blossoms and it isn't even May. The weather is all over the place. I suspect Dick Cheney is somehow to blame. The thyme has already flowered. Things are strangely paced this year and I wonder what the next few months will bring. Better to skip ahead to August and some serious beach time.

New art should be up this weekend! Check back then!

My super-fave alterna-folk singer-songwriter-sweet lickster, M. Ward, playing the beautiful "Chinese Translation" on Letterman. Check it out and fall in love. I tried to embed the actual video but my neophyte blogger status foiled my efforts.

Dinner is almost ready. The internet tells me not to blog about what I'm eating but I cannot help myself. Roasted Eggplant, Potato, Red Onion, Tomato Pasta and a sexy salad. Good dinner companions, too.
