New Piece

This one was done in watercolors, colored pencils and acrylics. It was inspired by Marq Spusta's art for Dinosaur Jr's The Farm. His tree people are just too cute. I also added my own personal touch with the broken instruments in the thorn bushes. This is probably influenced by the Elliott Smith b-sides and live songs that I have been listening to non-stop. Smith's music is perfect to watercolor to... and so is Dinosaur Jr's song Puke+Cry!
I am SO glad that this semester is over.

A New Tee for my Dad's Guitar/Accordion Band..

As promised to my dad, I have created a fan t-shirt for his bar band (as I secretly titled it, The Drunken Sasquatch Band). It's kitschy, cheap and ridiculously apropos for the situation. Viole, Dumpsters Inc. has its first client. I've already had 4 requests for this tee at his gig.
My head is throbbing at the thought of the end of summer, on a depressing note. I'm excited to finally be back in college, after a strange semester off... but I'm not excited at preschool being my main source of income this year.

New creation avec Dumpsters Inc.

Hand sewed and painted by me. This song facilitated the creative process and thanks to fluoxetine HCL for getting me out of my apathetic slump :

I made something!

My first venture into t-shirt surgery and I'm pretty pleased. Its not perfect, but I'm definitely going to wear this out often. Next up, perhaps Kafka shirt... if not, a Drunken Sasquatch band tee. I recently just picked up an awesome tee from goodwill that I will operate on soon. For gods sake, theres a giant tomato on it. That is exquisite in and of itself. My company will be called Dumpsters Incorporated.
