Where the hell is Possum Kingdom?

In Texas dummy!

AD Pearlman & I drove out to Possum Kingdom for Labor Day to see Lions play the Dia De Los Toadies Festival. We picked up my dear ole friend Ashley & after many wrong turns & a lot of "middle school humor" in the car - we arrived. There were 5,000 + "festies" out at the lake that day! Local law enforcement was less than thrilled. Those good ole boys were ready for anyone to step out of line.
The festival took place right on the lake, it was hot & beautiful! Kudos to the Toadies for coming up with this one, seriously - I would have never even thunk to drive out there otherwise & it is really stunning.
We drank beers & loitered around backstage while the band was setting up. Taking pictures & discussing the weird little towns we traveled through to get there. We stopped at a convenience store to get some gas & some tampax (because as you know "Tampax was There") & right on the shelf next to said tampax were two differently scented bottles of douche. Our eyebrows went up & we had to wonder - how many people stop in, get some gas, a six pack, & a bottle of douche? So the rest of the night if there was a quiet moment we were brainstorming to come up with the perfectly scented douche. My favorites were Lasagna & New Car. Anyway I digress... We had a blast! We got there in time to see Lions & then The Toadies closed, & both were great! The crowd went wild and sang along to the Toadies as if it were still 1996. I was kinda blown away. For me, the Toadies remind of my youth. If you were in Texas in the 90's you could not escape hearing them on any radio station at any given moment - they were a staple. I would not have ventured so far or maybe ever seen them at all if my man's band hadn't been on the bill. I'm glad I did though, driving the 400+ miles was worth it for the trip down memory lane.

Anyway, here are some photos from our festing. I hope you enjoy!

Want. Need. Pt 2

Things have been busy. Helping my bf get ready for tour, a month long trip this time. Eek! It's a full time job getting all the bases covered before he leaves.
So, he walked out the door this morning & I seem to be coming down with something... my stomach is up. set. Psychosymatic or just the way things work out? I am not sure.
So here I lay in bed... let the listing begin.
All I want to do is hibernate. I want the weather to turn, the leaves to fall, some hot tea, an earlier sunset, soft knitted things to cozy up in & a happy stomach.

*sigh*

hibernation wish list? oh yes!

Lets start off with the entire Six Feet Under series. It's the best show that's ever existed if you ask me. It's hilarious, totally strange, & much like court TV it makes me feel way better about my lot in life.


Because I get cold & because it is adorable, I want. need. this lovely hat from Lonely Planet


These loud & proud patchwork leggings from Animated Closet look as though they were made for me! Let me live on my couch in these bad boys! Added Bonus: If I had to go out for something I wouldn't have to change for fear of running into someone. I'd already look amazing.


One thing I would go out for is tea to calm my stomach. My favorite is always green peppermint tea, which isn't really worth writing home about, but it's my fav. If I felt better & had days on end at home hunkering down in my creative bunker with my manfriend I would like to try My Maple Cookie from Intimate Teas. They claim that it makes you smell AND taste like a maple cookie! That ladies & gentlemen is exciting! They also have a tea by the name of "Screaming O" which says it all. Check out their website for details.


And last but not least, these fuzzy wuzzy shoes say "pretty please shuffle about in me!"

I believe they can be found on Zappos - of course...

Since I am addicted to polyvore (I try to keep it at a minimum) I made a hibernation collage. In which you can see my full hibernation day dream in all it's glory.


You should make one too so we can compare notes ;)

Everyone Loves Gossip

Im am ultimately flattered to say that I was interviewed by Jennifer Perkins for CraftGossip!

So, please check it out while I continue to *blush* my brains out...

Time to meet your MAKER

Not too long ago I learned that Stitch will not be happening this November which broke my little crafty heart as I have been a vendor for the past 3 years. It is the one craft fair that I was sure to participate in every year. It hasn't been canceled, just postponed. Still sad news. So, I started thinking "crap, where am will I be getting my craft fair fix this year? ACL is too expensive... dang."
Luckily I had a little meet & drink with Katie from CRAFT a few weeks ago & she informed me that Bazaar Bizarre will be a part of MAKER Faire this year! I had heard of
this Bazaar Bizarre, but never attended one since it usually resides on the west coast. So that night I put in my application, crossed my fingers & voila! Model Citizen was accepted!

What you need to know:
MAKER Faire is
Saturday, October 18th: 10am-10pm
&
Sunday, October 19th: 10am-6pm

@ The Travis County Event Center & Fairground

What will you find there other than Bazaar Bizarre?
There is no telling! Robots, maybe some segway polo, a larger than life Mouse Trap, not to mention art, crafts, techy goodness, music (!), & all things wired, soldered, & electronically brought to life that you can imagine! In other words, it's NOT to be missed!

As I mentioned above, I do not participate in too many craft fairs.. I have a day job & one million things to do outside of it! So I am asking for your help:
Do you have any awesome crafty idea's for displaying jewelry? Keep in mind that we are talking about a 6 x 6 foot space. I will not be setting up a big table because I will need room for the clothing racks (which will be full of new hoodies, dresses, & T's!).
So lay it on me! I believe in your crafty / organizational powers!

Techy & Sexy

**This post has adult themes & should not be viewed by the kiddo's**

So, it's the year 2008 & NO, we do not have flying cars, hover boards, or robot maids like so many movies & tv shows predicted... BUT we do have the internet & without it we'd be forced to continue doing whatever it was people did before it's invention.
So, today I'm checking my email & there was something in there from Babeland. I haven't checked their website in a long time so I paid them a visit. The page pops up & I learn that it is their 15th Aniversary... "Wow" I think, "that's weird, it's BUST's 15th anniversary too". Which is pretty cool! Makes me wish I were old enough in 1993 to get in on the ground floor of either of these amazing companies. But anyway, while cruising I am introduced to Sasi, which they tell me "know's what I want". Which is strange considering we've just been introduced... Then I did what you should do, I watched the video. They say it better than I ever will, so watch & learn
**there is no nudity but - once again - this is a video about a toy that is not suitable for children**


whoa!
Sign me up for anything that has a "don't stop" button...
After this informative little vid I decided I had seen enough of Babeland for one day & skipped over to BUST.com where imidiately I run into this!


Yes Ladies & Gentlemen, you are looking at spray on condoms! They are still being tested but soon, one day, you can bust out a can of "Jolly Joe", tag your man, & get down to business! I do have a few concerns:
1. "What if" you miss a spot? Scary!
2. "What if you get it in your eye?!" No Thank You!

I'm not sure I prefer spray on condoms & sexually intuitive toys over a hover board, but I have to give a big High 5 to technology anyway. Go Team!

So what do you think? Are these exciting advances in our mondern world?

Want. Need.

Making lists is such a sunday thing for me. Oh Sunday, let's get married. Just you, me & some paper for listing. Yes please.
It is fun to make lists & double fun to want things you don't necessarily need. What do you get when you put those two things together? My "Pretty Please!?" list:

Mr. Bento Stainless Lunch Jar! You know me, I am only ever really concerned with my next meal & with Mr. Bento I can just take my next meal (all 4 courses of it) with me anywhere I go. All in one neato little package. Mr. Bento even has it's own food porn community!
High 5 Mr. Bento! lunch goes voyeuristic, I love it!


A years subscription to New American Paintings! The most impressive & inspiring art publication available ANYWHERE! Each issue is like walking through one of the greatest contemporary art museums you can imagine.


Flight of the Concords sugar cookies! Need I say more?


How have I been living with out a pink hand-embroidered vagina?! How?!


Holga! Holga! Holga! Holga!
I may actually need this! I had such an amazing time with the Holga I borrowed from Rissa when I went to NY. I miss it, I want more! I want to experiment! To Customize...


And last but certainly not least...sigh
Isn't she dreamy?

Soup, Beautiful Soup

Last night I found myself at Emo's watching PJ & The Bear. I was happy to see my dear friend Pat there too. Like it happens with friends as you get older you see less and less of eachother. People get busy, move further away, blah blah. Pat is generally on tour which is pretty exciting. At least I don't see him because he is doing something interesting.
So, we get to visiting, catching up & what not. Pat informs me that he's been cooking a lot! This is very exciting because he once was a typical bachelor, consuming only things made out of potatoes, or worse - coffee, beer & cigarettes. He tells me that he's into soups. Says he's makes a killer tortilla soup. I don't think he knew this, but I am a "Soupie" & as such I challenged him to a "Soup Off". Heck Yes!
Today I was thinking about it & I dug through my recipes to see which soup I was going to put in the ring & I decided on this awesome Indian bean soup.
It's really tasty & pretty unique I think. So I wanted to share the recipe with you.
For a split second I thought that I should not post the recipe until after the soup off, I don't want show my cards ya know? But I'm pretty sure Pat doesn't read my blog, so here we go.

Indian Bean Soup
serves 6

Ingredients:
4 tbsp vegetable oil
2 onions peeled and chopped
1 1/2 cups potatoes cut into chunks
1 1/2 cups chopped parsnips
1 1/2 cups chopped turnips aka rutabaga
2 sticks celery chopped
2 medium zucchini sliced
1 green bell pepper seeded and chopped
2 garlic cloves crushed
2 tsp ground coriander
1 tbsp paprika
1 tbsp mild curry paste
5 cups veggie stock
1 14 oz can black eyed peas (drain and rinsed of course)
handful chopped cilantro to garnish

here's what you gotta do:
Heat up the oil add all the prepped veggies except for the zucchini & the bell pepper.
Stir it up for 5 or so minutes then add the garlic, coriander, paprika, & curry paste
cook & stir for another minute

then ya gotta:
Stir in the stock, season w/ salt & pepper to your liking. Bring to a boil
cover & simmer over low heat for 25 minutes

after that:
ya gotta stir in your pea's, zucchini & green bell peppers. Cover & cook for
another 15 minutes.

this next step I feel is optional, but it does make for a thicker texture (if you are into that sort of thing):
transfer a little over a cup of the soup to a blender, puree that shit &
then put it back in the pot with the rest of your delish soup.

now you are done. Grab a ladle - serve it up, top it off with some
cilantro & TAH DAH!
Dinner :)

if you decide to make this soup please let me know what ya think.
I made it a week ago & Austin ate it all up so fast that I didn't get a chance to take pictures... there will be Soup Off pictures though. You can be sure of that!

I can't believe my eyes!

ColorOn indeed!
Forget press on nails, Irina Iosilevich has invented press on eyeshadow! That is some crazy cool beauty technology! I haven't tried it yet, but it's on my to do list. I am one of those people who always ends up with lopsided eyes. This may be the solution I have been looking for... I am in love with this EyeEnvy Exotic Set!

Plop down $25 for a set of five & faster than you can say Iosilevich you will look like Irina herself did your lids.

Erika Wennerstrom is my Shero!

Recently I have returned to my bikram yoga practice, which is very good, but man sometimes it leaves me feeling a little dead on my feet.
That's why last night as I stepped into The Continental Club to see The Heartless Bastards I was just not feeling it. A drink didn't sound good, the opening band was bothering me, the crowd was completely on top of me & I had to wonder if I should have just stayed home. This would be my first time to see them live & being a negative Nelly I started thinking that if they sucked it would really ruin it for me.
But whatever, I get a drink and cuddle up to the front of the stage with my bitches. The band comes out & I have to say Erika Wennerstrom is just so tiny & cute!
I couldn't wait to hear that deep soulful voice come out of such a petite person. This was the first show with the new HB line up, she seemed nervous & for no good reason! Every song was spot on & the little fuck ups were endearing. The crowd went wild when Erika joked that they considered changing the bands name to Capt. Dinomite & The God Damned Flame Throwers. Cute!
Speaking of cute - her new band mates tatolly fall into that category. My good friend John Farmer & I swayed on the side of the stage for a bit, talking about the drummer "He's dreamy" John yelled "oh god yes!" I replied.
To make a long story a little shorter, I'm very glad I went! They are playing the Continental again on the 21st & ACL next month. Don't miss it! Oh & for my fellow Austinites, you will be happy to hear that The Heartless Bastards have relocated from Ohio to Austin, that's right! They are one of us now ;)
I took some photos with my crappy camera - here's a little collage of them.

Time To Dance This Mess Around!

I'll have to let my boyfriend know that he's got competition, because Gregg Gillis of Girl Talk is whispering sweet nothings in my ears, all day & all night! He is the man who has it all! Including my full attention ;)
Monday afternoon I purchased his new album Feed The Animals & I feel as though it will live in my cd player FOREVER.
I love a good sound collage, but his pairings are plain genius. Tell me, how do you pleasantly mix Kriss Kross with The Band? Can you even imagine Missy Elliot in the same room as Enigma? No, & definitely not sharing sonic space on the same album. But he's done it. Which is pretty exciting, but what's the cherry on top you ask? Well, how about the fact that his record label, Illegal Art is offering Feed The Animals @ whatever price you would like to pay? Yeah! How about them apples, or cherries, or wait what were we talking about?

Sorry, I got distracted by his awesomeness.
He's easy to listen to and easier to look at...
*swoon*


I mean, who studies Biomedical Engineering & then goes on to make the party album of the year?
This guy, that's who!


He made the Amps sound cooler than they did before? He may truly be the man of my dreams! Girl Talk is on a massive tour, go see him, shake your shit, & maybe take off your clothes. He will.

If it's life you tend to like...

Better get yourself a bike!

Truer words have never been spoken! I dare you to say you don't love a good bike ride, or to tell me that you have never experienced bike lust. I "triple dog dare you"!
Being on a bike lets you experience the world around you in a totally different way. Driving down your street day after day, you miss all the little things that made you want to live there in the first place. But on a bike, it's all right there. You just cruise by and take it all in. I am guilty of not riding my bike enough. This is mostly because my bike is heavy & rusty. I can make it through a 90 minute bikram yoga class, but could I ride my bike to work & back? I am not so sure. With only 1 working gear the odds aren't looking so good. I do have my eye out for a new ride though. Something Danish & covered in baskets! I was shopping around on the web the other day for something with two wheels that I couldn't say NO to when I found the most amazing thing! Eric Stallers Conference Bike! Maybe it's old news but it wasn't to me! This contraption seats 7 people, everyone peddles & one person steers! Can you say Neato?! It wasn't what I was looking for but wow, I'm glad to know that it exists! See what I mean?


Geez, those people look happy. I see lot's of happy people on bikes here in Austin, TX. I want to be one of them. A big YES to joining their ranks & starting a gang :)
The other afternoon while I was day dreaming about this imagined gang I made these heart shaped bicycle rings. Because that's what I do, I make stuff.


I know a lot of people who make stuff, but I should note that part of the inspiration for said gang & the rings that followed came from my friend Eli. She has decked out her schwinn, in a totally kitschy & classy way. Jealous much?! I know I am! High 5 Eli! Keep the rhinestones comin'!

I guess that's all for now on the bike front. Maybe I'll go take my beast for a spin around the hood.

tah tah!

Victoria's Secret? I think not!

Why would you wear something that needs to be kept a secret? As I said in my previous post I have been doing a lot of swimming this summer, and a lot of it has been impromptu. Most of my la la lingerie is colorful and can usually pass for a swimsuit so I'll strip down and hop in the "crick" with the best of them. That being said, I have been on the look out for new, & awesomely exciting under garments. You know - underwear that should be worn - out there. Things to cover my unmentionables that are bad ass enough to be mentioned. This is where my Etsy addiction pays off! Chonies, knickers, whatever you want to call them, I have found some that will make you feel like a kid again, look like candy, & just generally effing rock. Check it out:

X Poppys Wicked Garden X makes these super cute Power Ranger panties that make me want to have sleepovers and save the world (in not much else)...


This adorable set by Sugar Doll could totally pass for a swimsuit and see what I mean about looking like candy?! Yum!


Now, I wouldn't want to go swimming in this set by Cherry Pie Punk, being white and all... but I would love to unveil it for my rock star boyfriend! Put on some Guns n Roses and turn off the phone for a while...


I'll race you to the check out counter!

Goodbye July

What a month! July never felt like it would end! Now August is upon us and the heat won't let us forget that summer is so serious. But 100+ degrees or not, it's Saturday! It took you so long to get here! This heat does not help the days go by...
But night swimming sure does. A big plus to this is NO sunburns! Don't hav a pool? Do what I do! Hit up the nearest apartment complex & hop a fence with a Lonestar in hand at least twice a week. Friends make the experience better, but floating alone isn't bad either.

Wednesday Austin, Rissa, & myself went down to the Mohawk to see Chris Flemmons from The Baptist Generals play. He came down from Denton after having day surgery that morning. He's tough. We swayed in the dark on the verge of tears through his whole set. The words "rhythm guitar" have never been used so fittingly. He plays his thrift store classical guitar like a drum. The songs themselves are dark and wholy satisfying. Like licking a wound.
Stories of drinking, retreating, hearts breaking... All of which go well with a glass of whiskey in hand. Rissa and I made a sleep over date for when their new record comes out. We are going to lay on the floor, listen to it over and over again, & drink till sleep over comes us. We aren't sad sacks, it's just sounds like the thing to do. I look forward to it. The new record is said to be done in a few weeks, so maybe it will be released by the beginning of next year. * fingers crossed *


On a more cheerful note... you all know that I have a thing for white tigers, well on thursday I read that a litter tiger cups were abandoned by their mother and then adopted by a golden retriever named Isabella. She has taken to cleaning and feeding then as if they were her own. Sigh and coo! How sweet! Apparently tigers and puppies develop at the same rate and require the same amount of care. *Makes me seriously wonder if I am ready to take on a puppy at this point*


I made this "Because I <3 Tigers" necklace to mark the occasion of Isabella and her new family

I'm going to sign off now and read for a bit before the Lions show tonight.
More on that tomorrow.

As if the internet weren't addicting enough...

Most of us are members to a handful of sites. We subscribe to a half dozen blogs (or so). We have so many user names & passwords committed to memory, taking up needed space for things like, i dunno, correct spelling or that thing you told someone you'd do on friday, but can't remember what.. or with who.
Well, make room for one more pass word & user name, because the world of Polyvore awaits! It reminds me of making collages at sleepovers with stacks of Sassy & Jane magazines! Yay!
So, I have been putting of starting a Polyvore account because I knew it would be yet another distraction from the many things that need doing, but I gave in today and I AM (already) ADDICTED!
I'm still learning the in's and out's but thats part of the fun.
Won't you join me?





i've always wanted an ALL blue outfit. *swoon*

Art Fix

Last night my neighbor left her demon cat out. He is aggressive and picks fights with any other living creature it comes across. No joke.
So, he cornered another cat right outside my bedroom window (thank you very much). The sound of an actual cat fight, makes my skin crawl! AND when my skin is crawling I find it impossible to sleep. So, I lay in bed, hoping my neighbor was loosing sleep too but when I got bored with that I thought about art. Art I want to make, art I've seen, art I want to see... I thought I would share some of this art with you lovely people.
I visited Seattle last summer and my pal Russ took me to the SAM, which was amazing. I enjoyed every moment, but they were showing Nick Cave's (no not the musician) Sound Suits. Have you seen these?! They are incredible! Here, I will show them to you now, but click on the link and watch the video to see them in motion:

As you can see they are made of many many different things. Iron on's, bottle caps, wires, hair, sequins, twigs, scrap metal... It's all quilted / sculpted together. I have no clue how many he made, but each one looks like it took an eternity to put together. Apparently they are called sound suits because of the sound each one makes when it is worn. Yes, they can be worn and eventually were made with the intention of being performed in! Cave says that these suits reflect his experience of being an African-American man and his experience as a human being. I would love to meet this man!
This is a nice thing to think about when you can't sleep, it's not far off from dreaming itself.
As for Art you can see here in Austin, TX - Justin Goldwater opening his one man show "Stupid Answers to Snappy Questions" @ Domy Books on August 2nd.
Be There or Be Square.

Where to begin?

Oh man, with so many things going on it's impossible to keep this blog up to date!
Let's see... Where to begin? Ah, the Second Sunday Sock Hop Beach Party! Having a cold did not stop me from making an appearance at the hop on July 13th. I went dressed as if I were straight off the yacht with half a voice and a head full of Claritin. What fun! Hawaiian shirts, vintage bathing suits, sand, boys with beards getting "laid", hula hoops & kiddie pools! The weather was hot and balmy - in other words - perfect for the event. If you live in Austin and want to DANCE - this is it, this is what you need. Forget about work on monday, just slip on your flats and "shake it like you do when you wanna get you some!" The hop is my favorite event that happens all month. It will help you work out your frustration, but sadly it will not help you get over a cold. I hope they have another beach party, it was a blast... cold or no cold. Here's some photos:











My cold took a turn for the worst which caused me to miss the Tilly & The Wall show - suck! But once I was on the mend Austin and I headed down to Padre for a little family time. I guess the sock hop beach party left me wanting some real surf in my life. We drove in and went straight to the beach, where we drank tequila, floated in the waves and saw some real deal sea turtles! They had the sweetest eyes and were at least a foot and a half long! It was magical. We also ate some cocktail shrimp that were boiled in red hots (yes the candy) instead of things like celery salt, mustard seeds, ginger, pepper, cardamom, etc.. and they were DELICIOUS! We could not stop eating them! The day at the beach left me with a serious sunburn. It was really red, totally blotchy and left me napping on the couch for hours... eek. Note to self: More sunblock!
Seriously!

Now that I am home it's business as usual. Booking tours by day and art + craft + make by night! Ive got a new bracelet up in the shop, it will be hard to part with because I am IN LOVE with it!



Oh! I found out today that Tiny Meat will be making some of their awesome wallets using my art! Which has been a dream of mine. Realizing dreams is the best drug ever! You can see what the wallets will look like here and here.

Speaking of things that are addicting - have you gotten yourself a Twitter account yet? Go, go now! Let me know so we can "follow" eachother :)
Austin keeps his tour blog through Twitter. It's a little gritty and soaked booze at times, but always entertaining.

until next time...
xo,

I am no pro when it comes to photography and I have never claimed to be, but I do like to document the occasion. Like most people I have a little digital camera that serves it's purpose. It's tough enough to live in my purse and sit on bar tables, the batteries last a long time, but it's all point and click. There's really no science to it. If your index fingers work and you can handle being blinded by the direct flash - you are in the memory makin' business. So a few weeks ago I was packing for my NY trip, and some friends came by to drink wine and visit while I went over my "don't forget this!" list. Rissa a.k.a. less like math brought her Holga 120fn over and insisted that I take it to NY with me. I had never used one before but she assured my that it's a toy and that the pictures will come out in ways I had never imagined. Rissa has a large (and growing) collection of old camera's (some instant, some more of the toy variety, & some that I don't even know what category they would fall into) and I was really excited that she trusted me enough with one of her babies. The verdict? I loved this camera! I will be getting one of my own soon! Thanks Rissa for turning me on to this truly addictive toy! Here are some of my favorite shots (not everything on the roll turned out, there is a learning curve). I hope you enjoy them!

Turn it up!

Oh man. What a week! Work, work, work.
Our new band at work The Dedringers, had their record release on Thursday and their was only a million or so things that needed to be done before they actually hit the stage. It wore a sister out! The show was really great though - as were the margaritas...
When I am at work, chained to my desk, making calls, reading code, & generally making everything legit I have to have some music going. It's the only way to get through the paper pushing. Working at a booking agency - we have a large library of music to choose from. It's been brought to my attention recently that I am a girl band whore. Most everything I listen to is made by some ladies. My current love? Grand Ole Party! I saw them at SxSW this year and my jaw hit the floor instantly. Their songs are funky and the lyric content is swanky sexy. Oh yeah and Kristin Gundred is unbelievable! Singing, drumming, and smokin' hot. I'm telling you - if I were a lesbian...
I walked out of the Emo's Lounge after Kimya Dawson finished warming the hearts of a few hundred folks with her beat up accoustic guitar when I heard this giant, heavy drum beat come from the Emo's tent across the street and I wondered over in a trance.
Here, take two and a half minutes out of your day to watch their video for "Look Out Young Son" - she may very well be the devils daughter, because I am under her spell.

Charming!

Lately - with my man on tour all the time - I have been crafting my brains out! This weekend I hung out on my living room floor watching Sixteen Candles & making my first charm bracelet. So very fun!
After my week long trip to NY I was too tired to take part in the 4th of July fun. I skipped The Jungle Rockers show (which I never do) and just hang out all me, myself and I style. Uploaded some pictures from my trip, made Elvis cupcakes (chocolate, peanut butter & banana- yum), and a shit ton of shrinky dinks! A little "me time" is just what the doctor ordered.

Austin got home from tour on sunday night, so I fed him cupcakes and have been trying to get him as addicted to shrinky dinks as I am. So far I'm not seeing that sparkle in his eye, but in all fairness his mind is else where as it should be. Lions are working on a new album and those songs don't write themselves. Oh to be a rock star...

Anyway - here's the charm bracelet, which is for sale on my website. I am not too happy with the quality of this photo, but I am looking at new camera's right now - if you have any suggestions I would love to hear them :)

Tigers Really Are Terrific...

or should I say BADASSICAL?

Maybe it's obvious, maybe not, but - I Love Tigers! White tigers especially - which are also known as Bengal tigers or Panthera Tigris (if you want to get technical). So yeah - they are fabulous and I am not alone in loving them... Recently Jennifer Perkins of Naughty Secretary Club fame commissioned me to draw up some tigers for the logo of BADASSICAL, a blog she started with Karly Hand (the beauty & brains behind Design Crisis). I am pleased to announce that BADASSICAL is up and running!


Okay! Go, read, be inspired!
