Pills!

I picked up Valley of the Dolls from the infamous free table at work. I haven't ready any of it yet but it's pink and about drug abuse so I'm sure it's going to be a super read. Here's a detail of a piece I'm working on that's along the same lines.

Painting Preview

A detail of a piece I just finished for my show in July. Exciting details to come!

Free adult beverages! 242 E. Berkeley St 2nd Floor 6-8pm get there on time because they literally kick everyone out at 8. xoxo-Amanda

Sketch of the Day 28: Friends!

Sometimes you hate things for the wrong reasons. Like, I'm not talking about the Starlite Lounge, but maybe I am. And then one day you accept it for what it is-a place to watch your friends eat corndogs and listen to 90's hip hop. My bad.

Sketch of the Day 27: Ghost Park

Here is a picture of a beautiful and magical park I saw in Belgium. Then I drew some ghosts on it.

Sketch of the Day 26: Thank you!

Thank you to everyone who helped make my birthday so awesome. You're the best!

Sketch of the Day 25: Girlmonster

Attack!

Sketch of the Day 24: Bunny Beignet

Floro bunnies serving baked goods!

Sketch of the Day 23: Creep

"Oh my GOD. Look at all these CREEPS!!!!"

Sketch of the Day 22: Smiths

Mozz! Forever & ever. I drew this on the back of a really nice note someone wrote me.

Sketch of the Day 21: That Teenage Feeling

This weekend was like summer vacation.

Sketch of the Day 20: Veggie Burger Breakup

R.F. O'Sullivan's has amazing burgers, it's true. But their best kept secret was their veggie burgers. They were handmade and they were amazing. And then one day they were gone. I just wish I knew what I did to push them away, you know? I imagine bumping into them on the street and practice what I would say. In the end I'd probably just play it cool, even though they were the only veggie burgers I ever truly loved.

Sister of the Bride

Sometimes the free table at work has really amazing things. Like the copy of Sundown I found on VHS. Or Dustin Diamond's memoir "Behind the Bell". My friend found this beat up copy of Beverly Cleary's "Sister of the Bride" and though it smells not unlike death, I really like the illustrations by Beth and Joe Krush. Also, breaking news-it stopped raining.

Sketch of the Day 19: Cloudhead

It's been raining forever. It's really uplifting. I'm being sarcastic.

Sketch of the Day 18: Finished Rainboots painting

Ta-da! The finished rain boots painting. Giving it to my friend tonight for her birthday-hope she likes it!

Sketch of the Day 17: Red Raincoat

Working on a small painting for a friend-here are my two options-white background or black?

Sketch of the Day 16: Brush Pens

I picked up some sepia brush pens a while ago. Here's some stuff I did with them while thinking about that bearded lady painting I finished recently. Now off to the square with Jordo. Woot.
