Complete with a chicken coop and fresh honey from the beehive. Contemporary yet soulfully filled mid century interiors void of sterilization (aka not something you'd see outta DWR), my dream home sit atop Little Italy making the mesmerizing NYC to an absolute fairy tale ... maybe one day ... maybe not ... at least I have my dreams

Peter Callesen

This week was the beginning of my night classes at the local city college hence why I haven't posted with such frequency, soso sorry. On Tuesday, I attended what I thought was going to be 3D Design Drawing but turned out to be simply 3D Design class. At first I was a little skeptical mainly because of the intense attendance policy but I've settled with excitement that it's not just another drawing course. Through the semester we will be using a variety of mediums to create 3D art. Our first medium: Paper.

Via our first lesson, I learned to Peter Callesen. His work is world renowned so I feel that many people may already be aware of who he is, however it's my first introduction.



Most of his work simply uses A4 paper which is in between letter and legal. With the most simple medium, he's been able to transform paper something we can all relate to into something magical. His themes are laced with romanticism and tragedy, givin you that "ah-huh" and "how the hell did you do that" sensation. What's even more amazing and not to mention sustainable he only uses the paper that he cuts out for the shadow to construct his 3D forms. Pretty cool, huh?

Anyways, thanks for reading. I'm new to this blog world and love receiving all your feedback and the flattery that comes with ;)

much love and until next time,

luscious ladies

luscious ladies

I'm sure many of you have seen pictures from the upcoming V magazine's size issue due to hit stands Jan 14th. It is groundbreakingly marvelous and about time ladies that aren't scared to occasionally indulge in one of life's greatest pleasures, not to mention necessity of life, FOOD. 

Myself being on the opposite spectrum, standing just below the 5' but above 4' 11" and having played soccer all my life sculpting thick thighs and a round derrière, I longed for a "model" figure. Their clothes always drape well no worries on tummy or thigh cling-ege or stubby leg syndrome. I'm sure they've never had hem a pair of pants or duct tape their pants under until they bring 'em to a tailor, but that's always procrastinated until pants are essentially ruined. And when they want to check out their favorite artist perform live, they can see no getting stuck behind that stubborn sweaty man that towers - by a foot - and refuses to let you in front of him even though there is NO WAY you could ever block his lanky ass even with your 5" Platforms. ugh.

Ultimate envy. 

That is until J-Lo hit the scene as a Fly Girl and 'Shorty' became the subject of every top 40, club banger not that I actual listen to that ish on my own...only in the club and on the radio ;)  

Since then, I've learned about proportions when dressing, taught myself how to sew, and rush to the front if I can't get backstage.

Long story short, I LOVE what I've seen so far of V mag's size issue. 

Girls, embrace those curves, there's is nothing more feminine! And Shorties, just remember, we got more to choose from ;)

It starts in 3 hours, so it's a little tardy for this one, but if you're in the Seattle area head over to Georgetown and say what's up to Jesse for me. He's a dear friend of my sis's and an inspiring and humble self-taught artist.

Also hailing from the 206 but showing in the 415, a dear and old friend Miles Stemper, has an art opening this Saturday at the Gray Area Foundation For The Arts (GAFFTA) in the TL.

New York Times presents The Year in Pictures . Above were my most heart-felt/wrenching moments. I was tempted to post all while sifting through them. 
There's so much tension in the air, I'm excited to toast in the new year--I think I've already mentioned that a few times.

tutu

1st Grade Career Day: My older sister rummaged through my mom's suits and grabbed my pop's briefcase posing to be a lawyer. I opted for my florescent spandix, white leo and turquoise tutu. I wanted to be a ballerina soooo bad. Still kinda do but I'll settle for a tutu at this point. 

Trying to up my craftiness and looking at life through some serious budget goggles, I'm gonna try and DIM it -- do it myself. Wish me luck, I'll be sure to post some creation photos when I'm done.
