About Me

I am an arist, living in Northern California.

Originally from Michigan, I grew up on a small farm. We kept chickens and pigs and rabbits. I love animals. Pretty much anything with animals, be it sleepy puppies or taxidermy.

Rarely a day goes by that i do not have a ribbon around my neck. Since I'm allergic to most metals on my skin, I usually wear ribbons as an alternative to necklaces. Ribbons that are about one inch wide work the best!

I try to make a point of riding my bike everyday. I love exploring my neighborhood.

I have my BFA with an emphasis in Drawing. I love drawing with charcoal and ink. People, and animals are my favorite things to draw. I also paint, I really like to paint over old wooden plaques.

I like to collect kitschy ceramic animal figurines, i have a modest collection of cats in my kitchen.

I used to do a lot of antique shopping in Michigan. I have a large collection of Marushka prints. It's very hard to find cute vintage things here in the Bay Area. Anything mod, retro, kitschy would really make my day.

As for colors, I really like red, gray, olive green, brown, blue.

I also really enjoy sewing and altering clothes i pick up at thrift stores.

Organic and all natural bath products are awesome!
I take a lot of baths, and shower compulsively.

Favorite Television

We don't have a television, so most of my TV consumption, comes from DVD.

Favorite Crafts

Drawing, Sewing, Knitting, Sculpture, and Collage

Favorite Books

I read a lot, I love trashy vampire novels and dark classics like Wuthering Heights. Funny pretentious books like Confederacy of Dunces, and anything by Ben Marcus. Ballard, Murakami, Salinger. Also books about animals like Watership Down, The Plague Dogs. And Phillip Pullman, is amazing too.

Response: Oh! I'm so glad you like it! And being from SW MI myself, I am pretty familiar with the front vs. back door phenomena. It was fun creating things for you!

What could possibly be wrong with monkeys?

babysingsing on Jul 10, 2007:

Ah, we just got back from the hot tub joint I told you about. You gotta go soon. Aaaaaaaaah.

If you are seeking additional ideas for the neighborhood animal photo scavenger hunt, feel free to come over to photograph the slugs that hang out at night in our shower. They have meetings. I do not know what is on their agenda.

I'm in such great physical shape that I just pulled a muscle removing a staple. Go me.

rengawk on Jun 1, 2007:

poke poke hello, wondering if you enjoy hot chocolate (I have a HUGE set of pre-packed individual serving flavors I'd love to share) for the "Mug, Mug, Mug!" swap. If not, that's no problem of course, I just wanted to ask before I get too excited packing things up to mail. =)
