The Grey's Dear Whoever,


Letter to the universe and by universe I mean anyone willing to support a starving artist: I'm not generally this nerdy but all the Grey's Anatomy watching and common phrase redundancies ("007" "Seriously.") is starting to influence the need to be, among other things, you know, hardcore, like Cristina Yang. Oooh or Calli Torres. Wait, Miranda Bailey. Wow, I think I just reached the point when everything needs a cursory Mc in front of it. Besides, does anyone really read these posts? Digress. 

 Below I've diligently inventoried a few current favorites (ahem), so I'll skip the unabashed begging and superfluous commentary and just make a point. Can you, I mean, would you mind bringing me these gorgeous things on my eternal wish list like before I die. I'm an artist for Pete's sake... do you know how expensive art supplies are these days (falls out of chair)? I mean, seriously.Seriously. Do you know how difficult it is to even sell art? Bottom-line, I want cute things too, okay. 

Do you think I should I write a letter to Proenza Schouler? My congressman? Barney's? At this point, I'm totally not opposed to contacting the president if you think it'd help, and by president I mean Net-a-porter. obviously. Never actually heard back from Jeffrey Campbell. I wonder if Bergdorf's is hiring.

The Body

You can barely see it in the last post , so here's a clearer picture of   what I've been working on in my new art studio... not that it hasn't come with little stop your heart stress moments.   The first time I attempted this piece, now referred to as The Body , was mutually as terrifying as it was exhilarating. It was the first full hand drawing I'd ever attempted, and everything was going smoothly until the moment I decided to incorporate oil paint, also the first in my artwork experiences. My grandmother was an award-winning artist, but now, without her wealth of knowledge and go-to advise, this is really a learning/teach yourself process. The drawing was done and exactly how I wanted it, the hair and tights were painted, and the final stages involved adding skin and the completion of the tattoos.   I didn't go in naively, I understood that it would inevitably boil down to the dynamics of trial and error, so I inhaled deeply and began creating my palette.

i carry your heart (i carry it in my heart)

Today I say goodbye to my sister. Rarely do I write about the intimate details of my life, but this is a new chapter that I'm not quite prepared to read. After rummaging about the endless folders, these images so easily depict the emotionality of what I'm feeling. I wish Alex was here. I couldn't have imagined these circumstances, the recent trials and tribulations that have fallen across our small family like a dark curtain, but with time I suppose all things change. It isn't one of those situations when someone in your family simply moves to another state, and Christmas becomes second to seeing one another after months of sporadic e-mailing. This is different. When she made the impulsive decision (that came quite dauntingly) to pack her belongings and her child, and move to another state to be with a man she'd met only once, all we could do was ask her to stay. I asked a million questions in whisper because I ultimately want her happiness... because through the
