Christmas Spirit


Beautiful days while working in the gallery inspire me to re-organize.
The fact that I just bought the new Blackberry Bold and am waiting for my Canon EOS Rebel XSI in the mail helps give anyone a new temporary outlook on life as well.
Because I put forth more effort than ever in the last year to work on my crafting (and I've been more successful this past year than ever before) I've decided that if I am going to give in to this new years resolution craze, I'm going to pick something and really stick with it. I am going to work 3 times as hard on my entrepreneurial skills in 2009. I'm reading a book, "Craft Inc.: Turn Your Creative Hobby into a Business." So, that means that in a few years, I hope to be able to make a living from making stuff.
Things to look out for: 
I have an amazing printer (Epson 1400) that I haven't been using to its full advantage. Friends have asked about buying my art, but unfortunately I grow attached to pieces and the price I charge is out of even my price-range. (I do this so I can hoard it forever!) Fortunately, buying and making prints is an easy solution. I will be listing prints that range in price from $5-$30 on my etsy site very shortly. Some will be small and come as is, while others will be either mounted or framed in vintage frames. I will offer reproductions of my illustrations, as well as photographs of my 3D collages.

Iza want somezing from Elizaveta

visit her site at www.elizaveta.etsy.com
So this cool as shit girl bought a couple of knuckle rings from me a couple of months ago, and I have been stalking her etsy site ever since then. She makes the most incredible jewelry and makes you re-think the term "costume" jewelry. I literally want everything she makes. This newest piece called "You can ring my bell" is a total show stopper.

Now I'm on the lookout

Currently, I am having to look for other work. The slowing of the economy has affected the art industry. I do, however, look forward to new experiences and challenges.
I updated, or rather re-designed, my entire website today. Have a look!


If you are interested in new business cards or a new resume, please contact me because they are 2 things I love to design and I am offering package deals on a freelance basis for business cards and resumes.

Robert Wilson


A very happy lady came into the gallery today, in love with Roark's works, as always. The best part, however was her introduction of the artist Robert Wilson, who films animals, celebrities and everyday people in what seem like stagnant poses, and displays them on enormous plasma screens. The poses seem stagnant, until you lay your eyes on the screen for longer than a minute and notice that there is movement.

Rum and old friends mixed with new memories made for a healthy morning today.
How early does arthritis start?

frying under the fluorescence


I have an addiction to Tic Tacs. The white ones only. They are intended to freshen your breath, but I can't make a pack last longer than a day.
I love Nicholas Gurewitch  His comic strip genius is on the level of arrested development's.
The love affair between Ronald and Nancy Reagan makes me jealous. I've never seen more adoring affection between 2 individuals. Just read one of the countless love letters you wrote to Nancy. I highly recommend visiting the Reagan library in Simi Valley.

Fair entries

I went to the fairgrounds today to retrieve my various entries from the fair. As always, I was greeted by the fairgrounds staff with absolutely no signs telling me where to go. It was so much fun trying to figure it out on my own with crazy carnies disassembling their rickety rides.
Alas, I found the buildings and now have everything again.

I've posted one of my necklaces on etsy, it is perhaps one of my most favorite ones. I hand drew and watercolor painted the rose and painstakingly embroidered the entire front. Someone please buy it so I won't be tempted to make another one as intricate!

Statement

My pieces have a certain literal value: often revealed by the text or the funky and sometimes controversial imagery. However, the combination of said images with text, I arrange them in a way that affords the viewer his or her own consideration. I enjoy satire, sarcasm, cynicism, and ambiguity. I despise ignorance. I think any book published before the mid-80s is fair game for my art.
