You Better Run, Better Run

My workplace. Currently a mess. I decided to put all the paintings I had lying around up on the wall, so that I could actually look at them instead of storing them out of sight. I quite like it! Oh Queen Elizabeth and Horatio Nelson, it's been a while since I last saw you! And remember Max? I really loved painting that one.

I went to Blick a few days ago and bought about 100 new canvases, (really, more like 10) so I hope inspiration strikes me very soon and I get a ton of new paintings done!


Also, while I was washing out the seashells I got from Seattle this past weekend, I found this tiny crab hiding out! He was already dead, alas, but almost completely intact, so I popped him in a little bottle and some alcohol, and now he sits on my dresser next to my tiny-bits-of-seaglass collection! I love his little claw and little eyes.

Busy Busy

I'm going to put a more decent post up soon, I pinky swear.

Been really busy lately with a bit of traveling, lots of doctory things, and more super secret projects. Also used book shopping, holy moley. Holy moly? Holy mole?

SO ANYWAY, since I have nothing of substance to post right now, want to see some of my current inspirations? Lately I've been obsessing (as usual) over Age of Sail things, specifically old paintings:




I don't know where I found these - somewhere through google search, so if you see any that need credit or anything just let me know! See you all later!

This is Why

New things new things in the shop! Exciting.

There is currently an amazing storm ripping through San Francisco - as I type this the wind and rain are pounding against my window and my lights are flickering like they're about to go out, and I am so happy. I love a good storm. As long as I don't have to walk through the rain to get somewhere important! Don't get me wrong, there are few things I love more than a good walk in the rain - but when you have to be presentable afterwards? Not so much.

I hope everyone had a great Valentine's Day! We spent it hanging out and playing beer pong - good times! And we made this goofy little V-Day message for everyone on our up-and-coming production company's youtube channel. Check it out, sorry if it's weird, we're odd ducks. Talk to you all later!!

Super Secret Project #1 - REVEALED.

That's right - now is the time to reveal one of the Super Secret Projects I've been working on lately - Marlinespike Design! My friend and I started a jewelry design etsy to sell new things we're working on! They're all made from black acrylic for now, lasercut to perfection and looking nice and shiny! So far we only have 8 online, but rest assured, we have a LOT more designs up-and-coming. Including a series of Sherlock Holmes-inspired necklaces.


Oh, so exciting! Go on and check them out! There's also some rad squid and whale designs!

I'm still working on another Super Secret Project, and I've been working on new tiny paintings! I've done so many that I've run out of tiny canvases. I'll have to go buy more!

Hope everyone had a spectacular weekend, and a great Valentine's Day tomorrow!

80th post!

Have I shown you all my new business cards?


Aren't they the cutest? I needed new ones so badly, and I whipped these out in about an hour, and I love them!

I've been sick lately, but I'm finally feeling better and today we're going to work on filming our short film that might just end up being submitted to some film fests! We're pretty stoked about it, and I have to say, I think it's pretty funny and cute. We still have so much work to do on it, though, and almost every shot has some level of special-effects so it is a LOT of work for a very small amount of footage. But it's fun, and that's what's important.

Also coming up is my super secret project that I'm working on with a pal. Actually TWO super secret projects now! Busy busy! But for now, I have to hop to the post office to deliver an order.

I love doing wax seals. I wonder if I should do a tutorial on them sometime soon? I only just recently learned, when I was working at the art store. They are so much fun, but so easy to mess up if you don't know what you're doing! Obviously I am not a pro at them yet, but I'm working on it :) It also doesnt help that I just started a new stick of wax so it drips all loosey-goosey... Anyway! See you soon, everyone!
