Here is a freshly laundered shirty...

...it's better to be clean than dirty! Or is it? Well it won't exactly matter since you'll look so cool either way that no one is going to notice much else. The two undebatable theories at work here are that A. pentagrams make the most wonderful letter O's and B. magic happens when a couple of babes get into it with some triangles.

Here's the flyer and the pieces I'm exhibiting at this group show opening February 4th in Asbury Park at Parlor Gallery (which I love). It's the gallery's Anniversary/music show and it promises to be a blast so if that's your neck o' the woods stop by and offer your warmest congratulations and dance moves!

In other news...

...you guys totally cleaned me out! The store is practically empty which is great since I am a clean slate kind of gal. You've all helped pave the way for some new digs coming soon. I'm making a sick shirt from the piece "Our Temple, Your Tomb" (see above image) which I originally made for the "Supernatural? Perhaps" show w/Steak Mtn this last summer in Los Angeles. I've also got some prints in the works that'll be done by the inimitable Rick Leech in Chicago. Also, I got my hands on some more of those darling ruffled saucers so expect some more of them in my Etsy store next week. I'm currently jacked on caffeine, finishing some pieces for a group show that will be opening in a couple wks, I'll post the details when I finish the work.

I've been making these the past couple of days...

I'm still making more with different designs. they'll be in my etsy store. They are hand painted with India ink on vintage milk glass plates.

So, what's new?

Well, I'm about to start working on a new website. I just put almost everything in the store on sale (like 50% off on sale) and added my latest pieces to it as well. I've got a big project in the works, I'll share more when it's a sure thing. I just took down the Halloween decorations. So sad. Oh well, have to make way for the Satanic manger scene. AH ha hahaha ha (evile laughter) hahaha ha!

Alkaline Trio design retrospect looms near on the horizon!

So, one of the best things that ever happened to me was falling in with a few fellows way back when. It led me around the world many times, to a career in design, to countless awesome friends and to my husband. If someone told me that any of those things would have happened when I was selling their demo tape at the Fireside Bowl in 1997 I'd most likely not have believed it. Anyways, it's been 15 years of working with them, although it's not been like work, hanging with my best friends all over the place on tour for 10 years was by far the best way to spend my 20's. The only thing that makes the 15 years seem like a plausible timeframe are the heaps of designs I'm staring down in front of me. Over 100 xeroxed, sharpie, glue sticked monsters! Anyhow, I'm finally doing something with them, they've been in a folder forever but come October 7th they're going up in an installation at Johalla Projects in Chicago. The show includes a book of all the designs, prints of 10 of the most favorite designs of the band and I and the installation of the originals. Hope everyone enjoys it as much as I have!

Supernatural? Perhaps!

This is happening whether you're ready or not...and chances you can't ever really be, but don't let it stop you from treating yourself to the brutalizing visuals we've cooked up for you in our respective underground lairs. xo
