i have a whole photo shoot for the guy on the left to upload, but i'm exhausted and need to go to switzerland now K BYE.


(PS: Posting from Switzerland starts FRIDAY. You can read it here: edandmel_travel.livejournal.com)

oh, the internets.
i want to unplug you now but i have 2 commissions to complete, a website to finish before my magazine article comes out, a travel blog to fix before i leave.

in one week i'll be somewhere around..
oh...


here:



...where i will rest my brain and sew nothing and think a lot about painting and hopefully draw a shit ton


also we had a picnic again today

you've got to have picnics.

for me these fortune cookie embroideries are somewhere between: reactionary joke against the perpetuation of bullshit aesthetics and general crap, and, just something i think is funny and a good idea and enjoy making.

i amuse only myself, i suppose. probably bad for business...


(i do like these though and hope someone else does too...)


anyway.
this catcow is almost done

i've been really itching to use this great colorway yarn i got - the one up front there - it's from uruguay and it smells amazing and its soft and the colors are amazing. i dont like making whole ami's out of colorway yarn - but for horns and details it's perfect.

prototype

studio monster

most everything i make spends its 'at home' time living in a plastic bag in a box under my desk... away from dust and coffee and paint.
(also in picture - comic from larrybear and drinking glass from YAVAglass)


studio monsters are, however, completely free range.
(also in picture - print from stellarbaby)


they pretty much go wherever they want


please get it out of my house

Undine in the Water

the claws go through the bottom (but are fixed in, they dont come out)





In the shop today

organization is for suckers.

(in busy studio pictures like this i always have to look through them closely to make sure there's no taco chips or cookie crumbs mixed in with my stuff)



fortune cookie embroidery cracks me up.
