Flat Cat
Yesterday I saw this flat cat in the neighbor’s driveway, so I stopped the car to find out why he was so flat. This was the answer. And this tense little stand-off continued for some time, both the cat and bunny completely oblivious to me getting out of the car and snapping photos. Don’t fear for the bunny though. He got away after the neighbor finally came out of her house with a...
Read MoreDo the donuts
No kidding, this morning I woke up to the sound of an alien ship landing in the bedroom. Turns out, someone changed the alarm buzzer on their iPhone. I didn’t know it could do such a good alien spaceship noise. Then I found out that I had to pick up donuts for the meeting Russ was hosting at our studio today — an Art Attack meeting for a coalition of public policy makers strategizing...
Read MoreDog Cookies, Psychic Readings, and Snowmen
Either I’ve been reluctant to post lately because of a lack of images or because I’ve just been plain lazy (more likely). To make up here are a few tidbits from my neighborhood. There’s a new pet store in town, and they have dog cookies that look better than people cookies! This is also the place where Mochi got her new pink-polka-dot collar and leash, so that will probably be...

Happy Valentine’s Day! And now that I’m home, I’ll post some photos tomorrow and see if you can guess where I’ve been!
Read MoreMore Distressed Jean Projects
Yikes, someone dropped a plane-load of relatives off at our house over the MLK weekend, so it was off to the studio for Distressed Jeans 201 (for 101 see this post two years ago.) Heather picked pink stars to spell her name and the Japanese symbol for Love, but I was a little surprised when Sol picked a Jane Sassaman fabric to wrap his name around the leg of his jeans… In fact it was...
Read MoreEvidence of Ghosts
After bringing the scaffolding home from the studio, rigging an old sushi restaurant sign on top, and lighting it for two nights, the neighborhood was primed for the KaBOOki HauNted SuSHi BaR. We got around 600+ kids and lots of curious adults. It was great fun to have them explain their costumes before they ordered from the sushi bar, and actually turned into a long line for most the evening....
Read MoreKaBOOki: The HAunTed SusHI BaR
We’re getting the snakes out for Halloween this year. I made these a few years ago — not sure what inspired me to create 30 foot long snakes but I guess living with a sculptor makes me want to work BIG. They are stuffed with foam packing peanuts, so they sound a little crunchy. This year’s Halloween theme is KaBOOki: the HAunTed SusHI BaR. On the menu: squirrmy wormmy sushi...
Read MoreTagged again
I’ve been tagged again by Thelma and Jane. This happened to me earlier this summer, and I blew it off, so now I’m trying to make amends. Also I’m tagging Judy, Susan, Cynthia, Roz, Susie, Sandy, and Joanie they don’t seem to have been tagged yet, and they seem like good sports. Apparently you have to list 7 odd things about yourself, and pass it on to the next seven: 1....
Read MoreThread Said
I’ve been having lots of ideas for new things to try, and here’s another doodle — I’m calling it the Thread Said series. Don’t know where it’s going though, just playing around. I think it’s important to play, and summer seems like a good time to do it.
Read MoreThe Artist Statement
Sherrie asked what I meant by “Artist Statement” in the last post. It’s not a silly question — I didn’t know what one was before I started entering shows a few years ago. But you get asked for them a lot, sometimes in the entry form, or later, if you’re accepted into the show. There are also lots of other ways to use an artist statement. I like what Ariane...
