Alien Royalty

After I drew these, I realized that the top one reminds me a lot of a black and white reoccurring dream I used to have growing up. It was a nativity scene with all types of farm animals, and there was an alien, too. There was no dialogue and the dream looked flat, like a drawing.

gems of fashion: Diamond Vision

Crystal shaped purses? Yes, please.

Larissa Hadjio knows how to make wearable art. Her Fall 2012 collection Diamond Vision is a medley of leather clutches, daybags, bum bags, and more, inspired by one of my favorite things - minerals! These pieces are soft and feminine while still maintaining the angular lines of diamonds.

Stumptown Adventures with Neil Sudoku

We knew we reached Portlandia when we saw the unicyclist.

The man himself, Mr. Neil Sudoku.

My long awaited trip to Portland, OR (aka Rose City, Rip City, Bridge City, P-town, Stumptown, PDX) turned out to be the most fun I've had this year, and quite possibly the most fun I will have for the rest of 2012. It all started with a six hour plane ride, followed by a layover in the very beautiful Seattle airport where Ben and I sat watching planes take off into the clouds against a backdrop of distant mountains and tall pines, followed by a short flight in a prop plane which was prefaced by a turbulence warning, followed by a lime green cab, followed by clear beautiful skies that at first made me angry since I had packed for the rain.
