i'll meet death before you do.

new zine, kids!

this issue is about pain--and not in the emo way. the covers are hand colored with a red crayon. it's 30 pages, quarter sized, and awesome.

slide down my rainbow into my pot of gold

b my meeting with my illustration professor went MUCH better than expected. one million times better. actually ended with me changing my major to illustration.
c work was fantastic
d i made things happen!


sorry for the vague-ness! i sooo tiiiirrreeddd. nuh-night!

ELECTRIC! WIRE! HUSTLE! FLOWER!

[these three images were part of my photo II final]



finals are over and i am happy. i went and talked to my drawing II professor today and now i'm pretty positive i aced the class. yahoo. i have a long list of goals to accomplish over the break--one of which is finishing cigarette girls no. 3, and a coloring book zine as well! i need to get to work because i have been slacking. i've spent all my free days skiing because i am kind of obsessed with it right now. and because i work at a ski resort. and because it's the only way i can appreciate the winter weather.

discarded all the naughty nights for niceness

Let me tell you something. There only one thing I love more than busting my butt to get to my final critique on time at seven in the morning when I was up until five finishing my project. And that's when I am here on time, sitting, because my professor still hasn't shown up thirty minutes later.



If this doesn't make sense, it's because i got like, 45 minutes of sleep last night.









one of my favorite movies. sofia coppola is a freaking genius.

ALL I WANT FROM YOU IS ALL I TOOK

I KNOW I SAID I WAS TAKING A BLOGGING BREAK BUTTTTTTT... IT'S BEEN LONG ENOUGH. AND I NEED A BREAK FROM ALL THESE STUPID PERSPECTIVE DRAWINGS. SO IF THIS POST IS A BIT MORBID, YOU KNOW WHY.












for those of you that think you will live forever: don't you sometimes wish that once you die, you will just be dead--forever--because living for eternity seems too exhausting?

i do.

IT COMES IN WINTER WHITE AND HOLIDAY DISGUISE TO SABOTAGE MY MIND, DISMISS THE URGE TO REMINISCE TO MISS YR STUPID KISS

heyyyyyy everyone. how was your thanksgiving? hopefully it was lovely. mine was, despite the fact that i got an hour of sleep the night before and then ran a race and then worked, AND even though i'm vegetarian now. (not that it made much of a difference. i've never eaten turkey on thanksgiving before.) anywayyyy, LET'S GET DOWN TO BUSINESS. i have so much to finish before the semester is over that i don't think it will even be physically possible. so i won't be blogging until it's over--or zine-ing, or anything-ing. i need to crack down. except not tonight because my head is about to explode and i have friends coming and not tomorrow because i have work and then a massage. but after that--it's all work and no play.

I AM THE KING AND WILL NOT BE HEADED

new zine! this one is a mini zine i made of a poem i wrote in the tenth grade about fast food and america's growing obesity problem. it's a little bit embarrassing, but hey--i was barely in high school. you can purchase it here. i even hand bound them this time! with thread, of course.









normally i am a little weird about people who actually know me purchasing my zines, but this one is game for everyone!

THIS IS BLACK HOODIE RAP

today was amazing for so many reasons. one being that i layed in my bed for two hours IN A SNUGGY and did absolutely nothing. it was just what i needed so don't make fun of me. i even have a picture to prove it. two being that i made a wall of post-its that are all goals/wants/wishes. third being that i finished my zine. i am currently in the middle of binding them (by sewing) but once i started poking myself too much and bleeding i had to stop. they'll be in the shop by tomorrow.
