Hey babe, can you believe we've made a year?

I know its hard to believe, but it's true! I have always had a love/hate relationship with the internet, so keeping a BLOG for this long is amazing for me. I know that there are at times, weeks that go by with no posts, but I still return. If you had asked me to type up a blog over a year ago, I would have said no. Up until that point, all the blogs I had ever encountered were self-righteous, pointless, poorly written, self-centered, or slanderous. I figured, why bitch about people my potential blog readers wouldn't even know. Then IT happened. I found websites and blogs created by individuals who took the "Information Age" seriously. They posted knowledge! My mouth has been hanging open ever since. To those dedicated bloggers and link posters, I say thank you.

Please receive my meager offering of traced 1960's space women as thanks. Happy Anniversary,

-Grace

Century of the self 1

This is a documentary my friend Damian turned me on to. It is about psycho analysis' affect on consumerism and the "Western world." I found it interesting and I thought I would share.

*The last video in this post may not line up well with the others. The coinciding video has been accused of breaking copyright and now has no sound. I had to replace it with someone else's posting, so bear that in mind.

sketches & bizarre doodles (before the semester's start)

Don't ask me about some of these. I couldn't tell you.



That Dino thing (obviously) used no reference.



The list in the above sheet represents the first and (so far) only assignment given to me from my brother's Monster Drawing School. I was to list creatures that were either ugly or feared.

I need to do all the drawing lessons over again because my artist's memory isn't the best.



This is the packaging for that previous project I posted earlier. If you don't know what I'm talking about, click on the "kept chocolate" tag below.



Mmmmmm. Cookie flavored chocolate.

Happy New Year

Devoted to the perfect portrait, there is no shortage of bad hair, goths posing with Santa, ugly sweaters and interesting facial proportions.

And lastly, if you need shoe references I suggest going to The Piperlime. You can see and save a shoe from several different angles and they have hundreds of shoes to choose from. I suggest the "larger view"

Serious or Solemn?

Our product is so "you"

As boomers get older, there seems to be a push to make "generation y" the new "ME generation."











Thanks guys. Without all your products, I wouldn't know how to express myself. I might have to turn to things other than mayo for my rebellion.
