the gimp is sleeping..

Today children, we are going on a field trip to memory lane, visiting various landmarks of my past... GREAT!!

exibit a.
my own first appartment, and my first art series...




a peek into my flat...




a first foray into painting portraits... that was a nice february, my boyfriend was on tour for a majority of the months, respecting our grand tradition of sending me the most hideous postcards he could find from each country (belgium won) and not attending my college classes, I recycled his old half broken boards and painted pretty girls...




This wasnt the best time for me, I had no idea where I was headed, wanted desperatly to be back in california, this was also around the time I was thinking about tattooing..

anyway, so I would sketch the girls, and then start painting them alive..



we had a really cute cat named Poopy (named elvis but it NEVER stuck)
but anyway, Poo was is heat most of the time




and I listened to so much New Wave it was embarassing.
Im sure you can tell.
I would start the day with Jem and the Holograms on DVD and finish with josie cotton...



So there it is...
February 2007, 19 years old. I sold my first painting from this skateboard series.

until next time!
xoxo
