Allergies

Its Wednesday which means my friends get back from their honeymoon tonight and I can go home!  house sitting is weird. Other peoples houses, regardless of how clean or welcoming they might be, just seem strange, everything's in the wrong place and I can never find the light switch. The last two weeks I've felt a little bit like I'm wearing someone elses socks. Also I can now add my friends pets to the long list of things I am allergic to. So far the list goes like this: cats, cherries, raw almonds, tree spooge and the entire city of Atlanta from mid February thru late May.

Ah College!

I stumbled upon this photograph on a well hidden blog, from the Agnes Scott publication Aurora, this was our college arts magazine. Why on earth someone saw fit to stick my suitcase full of boobs on page 36, I have to admit to being a little confused by. But it made me smile. the whole thing was made from green floral foam and paint, except for the suitcase, which was cunningly fashioned from an old suitcase. I think it was supposed be some sort of commentary on the male gaze...ah, to be young and idealistic.

Going to a liberal arts, women's college was awesome! I cared so much about everything, and got pissed off at make-up commercials (despite my sizable eyeshadow collection) and yelled at strange men in bars, accusing them of misogyny (while not being able to spell it) and frequently declared myself smarter than everyone else in the room (which of course I wasn't, but thats why college is great). 

Anyway...suitcase full of boobs.

Zombies weeeeeeeeee!

While feeding my roommate's goldfish while he's out of town I found the birthday present I made him a couple of years ago on his desk next to the fish tank...


Probably due to the large amount of super cheesy zombie movies I watch I tend to have fairly frequent zombie based dreams. They usually take place in Atlanta and revolve around me and my roommate escaping the city while fighting off hoards of the undead, sometimes with friends who most often get bitten or left behind or kept as zombie pets. But I found this and it made me smile...so there it is.

IF-warning

It's been a minute since I participated in Illustration Friday's weekly thingys and after realizing how thoroughly unproductive I had been this week, I thought, why break the trend?... so instead of working, I did this:

I was thinking about those signs I saw at the beach as a kid that read "SWIM AT YOUR OWN RISK"
obviously these signs were there to warn me about sharks or sea monsters, rather than the lack of adult supervision.

...shelf

I have very little to write, I feel as though I have been busy, but it seems that all I have to show for this week is a slightly rearranged shelf. 

oh yeah, I went to clay class and made stuff. that was pretty fun. I will take pictures when my creations are released from the kiln... until then... heres a picture of my shelf. yay shelf!
