It’s fair to say that I love my work. [Some people might suggest it would also be fair to say that I'm a filthy, antisocial art hermit, but we won't listen to them, no.] Painting, drawing, writing, shooting – all of it, love. But making time for actual lifestuff has become a vital aspect of [...]

Photo Flurry 095 – Conjoined 2: The Sequel in 3D
January 30th, 2012 · 5 Comments · Photo Flurry
Good morning! Closer to noon here, actually, as I’ve managed to inexplicably sleep past 10 for the second day in a row. After several minutes of cold-sweat-panic and confusion, I’m now enjoying it with a mug of homemade mocha and a pile of photos to dig through. First up, a few shots from the Conjoined [...]
Photo Flurry 094 – Late Night Cheeses
January 23rd, 2012 · 9 Comments · Photo Flurry
I’m taking the day off work to get the home base in some semblance of order. Our being sick and insanely busy this month has it looking like a circus tent exploded on the premises. But first, photos, taken by myself and Stephanie, from a little post-Conjoined afterparty. There was Nancy Reagan’s mac-n-cheese with bacon, [...]
Photo Flurry 093 – Work, Ramen, Pictures
January 19th, 2012 · 10 Comments · Photo Flurry
It’s a busy January, between finishing paintings for this Saturday’s reception, working on interviews and photos for ChinaShop, drawings for tattoo commissions and a pinup for Occupy Comics. I’ve also started Spring cleaning early – a few fancies are out on eBay as we speak. On Monday, I managed to escape the toil and spend a [...]
Photo Flurry 092 – Work // Play
January 10th, 2012 · 6 Comments · Photo Flurry
The past few days have been filled with shoots and interviews and catching up with some of the ridiculously talented people I’m glad to call friends in the midst of it all, while ferociously digging into One Hundred Years of Solitude. On page 180 now. Today I’m diving back into a painting, in hopes of [...]
Photo Flurry 091 – A Very Special Holiday Telescope
January 8th, 2012 · 12 Comments · Photo Flurry
All I knew about my New Year’s present from Ales was that it was something spectacular. Every time we had guests in December, he’d take them to his laptop and conspiratorially show them, to the sound of inevitable WOWs. It didn’t arrive -in two big, heavy boxes carried by grumpy UPS employees- until the two days prior [...]
Photo Flurry 090 – D4RT Incentives, Firesky, Fragments
December 20th, 2011 · 8 Comments · Photo Flurry
Yesterday was the day of Grand Shippening. All of last week’s print orders are off, along with D4RT incentives. If all goes well, said incentives [aside from commissioned drawings] will be with my backers before the end of the year. Calculating postage for 150 oddly-shaped envelopes was rather complicated, but my awesome D4RT intern Celia [...]

Our New Year’s tree is now complete and man, does it smell great in here. The massive cookie candle helps, as well. If you’re a new reader: though I don’t celebrate Christmas, welcoming the New Year is a big deal around here. Read about Russian New Year’s customs here, toward the second half of the article. [...]

On Monday, the first batch of limited edition and other prints is heading out of their dim, inky womb and into your warm embraces. You have until Sunday night to get your orders in. The next rounds will ship out on the 5th, 12, the 19th and once more some time after the 26th, and [...]
Photo Flurry 085 – Halloween’s Wake
November 1st, 2011 · 14 Comments · Photo Flurry
I wonder how many of you get a little wistful after Halloween. TV networks stop re-running vintage horror flicks, pumpkins disappear from stoops and seeing ghosts on every other street corner becomes a rarity once again. This year I’m just going to keep the spooky-time spirit alive and bask in scary movies, pumpkin spiced coffee and candlelight [...]
Photo Flurry 084 – The Yantaló Kindergarten Muraling!
October 18th, 2011 · 13 Comments · Photo Flurry
Besides teaching the art workshop, part of my Peru mission was to create a mural at the Yantaló school. Between time constrains, missing paint and enormous, fume-loving flying ants, this was no easy task! The paint had to be acquired in Lima, before my arrival, by a rep from the Yantaló Peru Foundation, and not [...]

Photo Flurry 082 – D4RT Debriefing
October 12th, 2011 · 5 Comments · Photo Flurry
I’ve been back from Peru for just over two weeks, plunging into playing hostess to an important house guest immediately upon my return. Between all the D4RT prep, the epic journey itself and family obligations that followed, it was as good a time as any to put some distance between myself and the internet, plugging [...]
Photo Flurry 081 – Four Days to D4RT Launch
September 9th, 2011 · 14 Comments · Photo Flurry
Good morning, universe. In just four short days I’ll be cramming my cargo into a little rocket and zooming off to Yantaló. The pile of books and supplies at my front door has gone from this: …to this: On Monday, I’ll do my best to post photos of the contents. it’s time for some serious suitcase [...]
Photo Flurry 080 – Not Really Coming Up For Air
August 17th, 2011 · 3 Comments · Photo Flurry
Can you believe this is the 80th Photo Flurry already? Full D4RT Mode is now engaged and my itinerary is making me giddy: I’m flying to Lima on September 13th, then from Lima, I’ll fly to Moyobambo and Yantaló is a short-ish drive from there. Mostly I’m making supply shopping lists, laying down a lesson plan, [...]

Photo Flurry 079 – Excited State of Overstimulation
August 11th, 2011 · 8 Comments · Photo Flurry
Over the past month I’ve been busy working on D4RT and trying to keep up with commissions, so it’s been a challenge to stay on track with my streamlined routine – I can’t say that there haven’t been days of slipping into the over-caffeinated, under-hydrated work mode, but I’m adapting and managing to squeeze some life and fun [...]

Photo Flurry 078 – Perfect Ghost Town
August 8th, 2011 · 4 Comments · Photo Flurry
Last week, Lumi and I wandered around a secret ghost town, peeking into dusty windows, twisting rusted doorknobs and climbing crumbling rooftops. We sat under an ancient tree and talked about Buddhism, among other things. We also rolled down a grassy hill, microscopic cuts reminding us of our indiscretion for the rest of the day [...]
Photo Flurry 077 – Birthday Art at the Getty
August 4th, 2011 · 8 Comments · Photo Flurry
This year, I decided to keep birthday stuff low-key, asking friends to contribute to the D4RT Kickstarter instead of gifts. 2011 has been strange and amazing and, at times, very overwhelming – so on my birthday I wanted to do something that would inspire and recharge me. This might become a new tradition. The Getty center [...]
