ASIAN SPAMMERS GET AWAY FROM ME!

For the millions of you who keep up with my blog daily, I am sure you have noticed an OVERABUNDANCE of mysterious asian comments on all my posts. Either, I have a huge fan base in China/Korea/Japan that I am unaware of - or I am being attacked by asian spammers. I do not know how to take care of this issue, so I guess it will persist for all eternity.

Here is a poster I designed for a zine I recently finished that I will reveal in the very near future.
Enjoy!

Tiny Dancer

This little bugger is less than 6 inches tall!!!!!!

May I also comment that I recently tried to start a new blog (for reasons that will remain unknown) - and I REALLY dislike all the new blogger templates. They are terrible, beyond terrible. PLEASE BRING BACK THE OLD TEMPLATES AND THE OLD EDITOR! Don't deprive an old woman of her favorite bread!

My favorite horse

An acrylic painting I did just for fun. It took a while for me to decide when it was finished/how to finish it. I don't know why painting works like that...

NY Times Book Review

THE TRANSFORMATION OF BARTHOLOMEW FORTUNO
By Ellen Bryson

This book reviewer seemed to thoroughly enjoy reviewing this book - a love story that takes place in the circus between the main character, the thin man, and the bearded lady. Seems like an interesting premise for a love story, although according to the reviewer, Max Byrd, the book only has moments of greatness. Perhaps read the book yourself and decide...or, never read the book and allow the opinions of others to shape your thoughts and decisions and continue to lead a life of non-questioning. Yes, keep walking in that shadow, pretending to see the light when all you are actually seeing is the glow from cell phone of the person in front of you.

LA Times Book Review

This piece was for a book by Gary Shteyngart - "Super Sad True Love Story" - a quirky novel about a balding 39 year old man of Russian immigrants who struggles to keep up with technology, health, and youth obsessed culture of a rapidly dying world. A portion of this was featured in The New Yorker's annual fiction issue - I really recommend reading it!

Why?

Why must I leave for vacation? Why must the sun continue to burn and burn until it burns itself into oblivion? Why do the tides change with each passing day? Why does God Almighty fight the urge to smite every sinner upon this Mother Earth?

I will leave you with these questions, and return from my trip quite shortly.

ELECTRIC!

Abstract geometric design that is meant to wrap around public electrical boxes (those ugly grey rectangles you see at the sides of roads and sidewalks). I wanted to convey the electricity hidden underneath that grey metallic exterior and also create something cheerful and colorful that would make people happy in the winter times and even happier during the summer!

Just a little thang

Collage, acrylic paint, india ink.
