Ladybird

Picked up this ditty today from an old man that sells antiques and records on the street near my apartment. He was so sweet, and told me that this birdhouse was made out of wood from a house in the neighborhood from 1906. Who knows whether or not that's even true but if it's not he's sure got his sweet old man with old stories sales personality down, and a happy customer I am for it. I wanted to paint it, but now that I know it's semi-ancient I might just mount it on my wall, or maybe stick opium poppies in it.

How to dress artsy

Outfits I assembled on my Polyvore account based on some of my favorite western artworks

Munch's "The Scream"



Rothko's "Red, Orange, Tan and Purple"



Degas' "The Star"



Duchamp's "Fountain"

My life is so much better...

...now that I know this music video exists...

It's true

Drawing final

Will be recreating this image in charcoal for my drawing final (22X23.5 scale). Assignment is on film stills and are to be hung in Lost Weekend video on Valencia after they're completed. My teacher said last year someone got offered $30 for theirs....and thus the amazing financial opportunities available through the art world continue to intrigue me...
