Pig on the Wing sketch

Here's the sketch for something that's been floating around in my head for some time. I've been listening to A LOT of Pink Floyd (as in every day for a month, including right this moment). The album "Animals" has been the favorite of our household, and these lines are really special to me:

You know that I care for you
And I know that you care for me, too
So I don't feel alone,
Or the weight of the stone
Now that I've found somewhere safe to bury my bone
And any fool knows a dog needs a home
A shelter from pigs on the wing
-Pink Floyd - Pigs on the Wing Pt. 2

So I wanted to create my own pig with wings, tweaked a bit for my own aesthetic. The eyes will be opal. The wings will be hypercolorful. And I want to make this one BIG! No wimpy little panel for this pretty piggy.

Happy Holidays if I don't post again before Christmas, guys! Take care, and thank you again for checking up on me. :)

Oh hey!

So a few posts ago I previewed the life-size resin skull that I painted for the Ars Moriendi Project opening, hosted by CTRL+ALT+DESIGN. I wanted to share some photos of the opening and some photos of my skull! I'm stoked with the way it came out, and I hope you'll love it too!

And then I proceeded to yell "Weenie Water" all night for the rest of forever laughing like a little kid

I see Kenji's bottle!

The place filled up really quickly!

Congrats to Alex Dakoulas and Wesley Eggebrecht on such a successful event!

Woah! Busy week this past week!

So these things happened this past week :

1. I collected my skull for the Ars Moriendi show by CVLT (opening tonight!)
2. I painted said skull, my first 3D piece, and I LOVE how it came out

Just a preview! You'll have to come to the opening tonight or wait patiently to see the rest!

3. A collection of Converse shoes I worked on was featured in InTouch magazine (below!)

That's Gwen Stefani's baby Zuma!!

4. Another collection of Converse kids shoes I worked on was bumped up a season and is now available at Nordstrom for the holiday! Free shipping right now! :)

Available for sale here!

5. Boston's Weekly Dig released an article about me featuring a studio visit from Christina Lacoste. The article dropped online on Friday, you can read it here! (She left in all the embarassing parts even!)

That's my studio! You can see my kitty Gogo in my lap!

6. I attended the Distillation show with Phidias Gold, post about that coming tomorrow. (lots of great pictures!)


7. I celebrated my one year anniversary with Rikard! We went to the Swedish Jul Market in the South End. :) God Jul!
Thanks for looking! Lots of updates coming this week! :)
