I need to draw.. things.. I want to add more to my tiger and my Santa Muerta. I want to make some image with a horn worm being slain by me. Repetition. Directional forces. Chiaroscuro. I need images before the workshop next month. Haruspex. Me crawling inside an animal for warmth. More images from my poetry. Bugs. Anatomy. Animals. Magic. Paganism. Texture. An ecosystem. Symmetry. Asymmetry. I need to cover this wall in front of me in these things. Confronting me and reminding me of what I want the images to be about. Instead of having a bunch of tabs opened in google chrome. Trompe L’oeil. Plan a lithograph. Weld shit. Perspective and perspective lines.

*this is what ADD looks like everyone lol. All the little drops in my stream of consciousness. 

I GOT THE FUCKIN EGG TOGETHER!!! My happy dance began with Handel and ended with Soulja Boy. 

My Tsantsa I finished today! Hung in the doorway as a warning to all psychic vampires and shitty people in general to keep the fuck out! Or I will claim your fuckin head!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

In the process of cutting up these pro-life posters to make a giant egg! On the wall I have hung my giant vagina I made from them last year! The armature for my egg is being a huge bitch >.< Mjolnir could not get that god damn thing to fit together. 

My side of the studio :) yes, I have my aerial silk hammock hanging and I swing around in it frequently. Eric calls it a “death trap” :3. 

I got studio space! I’m so excited! I’m not sure who’s more excited, me or my ma. Now I wont have a million projects spread all over the dining room hahaha. Im sharing the space with Eric which will be awesome because he works his ass off and it will probably motivate me to continue working my own ass off. Also he’s a bad ass. A bad ass who needs to update his tumblr more often. But whatevs. I feel like there is a whole lot more that could be said about the gentleman and Im doing him a disservice by leaving it at this… but that’s ok! NEW TO DO LIST!!!

** MY TIGER!! I JUST REMEMBERED!!! 

I’ve had an affinity for bugs my entire life. As a child, my mom used to buy me plastic terrariums to keep my 6 legged friends in. Praying Mantises were my favorite.

I remember one day, I must have been 6 or so, my mother shouted for me to come outside and to bring one of my terrariums. I was so excited! I ran out the backdoor to find her taking towels off of the clothes line. What would it be today? A moth? A spider? She leaned down with a big smile , opened up one of the towels and revealed a tomato horn worm.

Its horn faced me in an offensive posture, raised into the air, moving slowly from side to side. It was fat and eyeless and threatening. I was disgusted. She took my terrarium from me and placed it inside. It hissed. Oh god, it hissed too. I hated it, but I didn’t want to disappoint my mom, so I took it into my room and set it next to the other clear containers on my dresser. 

That night I couldn’t sleep. I kept imagining it swelling and eventually bursting from its quarters and impaling me on its horn. I couldn’t take it any longer! I tore the covers off of me and snatched it up. Storming through the house and out the back door. Locating a stick, I snapped the end off to a jagged point and dumped the foul green menace onto the concrete step behind our house. I plunged my crude spear into its doughy body as it curled around my weapon and rattled out it’s final hiss. 

So my Santa Muerte print came out awful lol I lost the transparency I was using as a  guide for the reduction and couldn’t print out another so I just had to eyeball it and it was a horrible decision lol. I should’ve just printed the key on something and used that but I was a dork and didn’t think about that. Oh well! Lesson learned :D I might touch one of the prints up to be like I wanted and put it on here. Ill probably attempt it again this summer.
