A new print! Finally something you can put up on your wall to commemorate the most obviously important week of the year, SHARK WEEK!
Yes boys and girls, like you, I too know the pains of eagerly waiting all year to re-watch the MythBuster’s shark week episodes, now for the mere price of a print ($25 AMERICAN!) you can buy yourself a friend to delight in the triumph with.
Little Fransisco also can not confine his excitement, thus donning his special shark week SHARK JUMPSUIT he prepares for a whole week of underwater cam shots, gnashing teeth, African backflipping great whites, and burritos, because sharks like burritos obviously.
Prints will go live on Etsy once I finish making them, let me know if you want me to hold one. ITS FUCKING SHARK WEEK is 6×9 and will be $25 for black on white arches archival paper or $30 for the wicked cool neon acrylic accented version. I will be making 10 of each.

Dear lovely ladies and lady boys:::
I have been having a blast over the last couple weeks relearning the fun filled (and therapeutic?) adventures of LINO-CUTS!!! Now you might say, why Rebecca I wasn’t aware cutting out pieces of linoleum with little metal tools for long periods of time could be fun, well you SIR would be WRONG! A half dozen episodes of whatever was on Adult Swim later and these svelte guys were born!
They are a conjoined African Antelope, named Percy & François Sinclaire and they will be printed in a very limited run on Arches (SUPER SEXY) Cream archival paper sized 9×12. If you would like to own a Percy & François Sinclaire please send me a short message and I will hold one for you until the Etsy listing goes up. Percy & François Sinclaire costs $40 or the equivalent of $40 in GOOD WHISKEY or French Macaroons (the Pink ones).
Two more prints will be added soon so STAY TUNED!!!

This weeks Illustration Friday subject is “Swell”, a thing I think is swell is Miranda July. Actually she is a person. This is a fact.
As anyone who listens to me recently knows, I am going through a very severe liking Miranda July phase. This has been exacerbated by my recent viewing of her new film “the Future” and its following Q&A. While I was already sufficiently prepared to like “the Future” its effect on my brain parts has been unprecedented. To illustrate this point please see diagram A.
(Diagram A)
As I seek treatment for my new-found addiction to pleasantly askew blue eyed directors with curly hair who make sweetly sad films, I encourage everyone to seek out their closest theater screening “the Future” and prepare to have their minds blown, or you know, to see a good movie.
At some point I will write a coherent review. Until then you have pie charts with markers. I am too good to you.
xoxo
PS Thank you KLINT SHERIDAN (1) for your undying support(?) and scanning prowess.

Here is a shot from a set I shot of HJ Rose a bit back in the wilderness of North Hollywood. Armed with only a Canon AE1 two rolls of Fuji Neopan and our desire to not get arrested for dumb reasons, we snuck quickly past a clearly marked trespassing sign into a fenced off ravine outside of a very lovely park where many lovely people jogged and played, none of which called the police on us, thus cementing their case for being ok human beings.
Black and white film, hidden ravine, black leather bra, loads of eye make up topped with post shoot afternoon cocktails = an amazing day!
While it was fun to break out the film camera, the following 9 days of waiting for my film to get back was an unwelcomed excruciating sensation that I had long since forgotten about. I will try to have more patience next time, or just drive to A&I and stand arms crossed at the counter until they rush it….
These shots are being used for my most recent Mixed Media adventure, so stay tuned to see what it turns into!

My alley is very pretty today.
Last night I went to a Show & Tell night at Cinefamily in Los Angeles where writer/director/performance artist/fun person Miranda July stood on stage for a couple hours, dangerously close to a feedbacky speaker telling us and showing us all about her life.
From early camp photos with regrettable amounts of SunIn to Riot Grrl scrap books to custom shoes and shoplifting, July walked us through those mystical steps from past to present. With all the normalcy of talking to a group of close friends, in her quirky way she counted the steps that got her here, with no pretension, arrogance or embarrassment.
The videos she showed of “play acting” with her friend (Sleater Kinney/Portlandia icon Carrie Brownstein), paired with her tales of just “living life”, illustrated the often hard to believe fact that you can succeed in doing what you love, a moral that left me renewed and inspired.
Thanks Miranda July. You’re the best.
xoxo.

A new thing I have been introduced to is Illustration Friday. A community of people who pick a word as inspiration and draw a weekly, “something” to share with the rest of the website, world and whoever cares. Being that it seems like a fun way to stay drawing I decided to give it a go.
This week’s challenge from www.IllustrationFriday.com was Perennial. In case you were wondering that is the worst word ever. Thanks a lot guy who picked it, if I meet you I’m kicking you in the shins.
Anyway, there it is.
XOXO
