Key Disaster




This is my latest attempt at silk screening. This is actually version two. In the first version I hated my colour choices so much I cut it up into business cards. I redid the whole thing but I still kinda hate the result. Obviously I don't hate it enough not to post it, so here it is. It was actually supposed to be a triptych but I'm so frustrated with it that I give up for now. I included a couple of variations with less layers because I do really like the line drawing. The pile of keys is a photoshop masterpiece, by the way. I just need to work on how to compose it as a finished piece. I'm open to suggestions in case I'm ever crazy enough to go for attempt three (and the triptych).

Mi Pequeño Pony Archaelogical Report

I uncovered this 80s jem on the streets of Buenos Aires. My Little Pony,1984. In Argentina they called it Mi Pequeño Pony. The original owner, if he/she is still alive, by logical deduction must be at least 27 years old (assuming a minimun age of 3 years old at the time of purchase), appears to have decided it was finally time to let go. Judging by the stickiness of the tape, it must have been recently adhered to a wall of some sort. The artifact conists of a brittle plastic material, which for its age is in excellent shape. It includes 17 reliefs in combination with surface art work. However, 4 reliefs are missing, and 3 are broken. It seems to have been a loved and treasured object as it is cracked in several placed and was repaired with celophane tape on the back face. Over the next several weeks, our team here in Buenos Aires will continue to be busy trying to uncover any further information the artifact might contain about its previous owner and 80s culture.

It's a wonderful life



Some monarchs from the skatebowl in CR. Us girls put these all over town...kind of soft, but they are a pretty good embodyment of the Costa Rican life...sunshine, butterflies, and all wonderful things. This picture was taken after the kids skate contest.
