perhaps

 Perhaps it is not even the person that our heart swells over, but what they represent to us. It is easier for us to become infatuated with one person who seems to embody everything that appeals to us than to obsess over separate things that aren't completely tangible/visible (states of mind, quirkiness, feminism, belief in alien life forms, the works).
 People are icons. We are simply walking, talking collages of everything that we have seen/heard/done/loved/hated. People are art(?).
  In somewhat related news, Andrew in Drag by The Magnetic Fields.

baby's first (mini) zine




It's hard being bilingual . . .

 

true life, though
 
  
   Just a friendly little zine I made for my friend and resident goddess, Zoe.
  Some stickers from Rookie Yearbooks and lots of Mod Podge and Tacky Glue.

a downward spiral

  
coming home

    Is there seriously a reality show called "Preachers of L.A."? I just saw a commercial for "Preachers of L.A." I'll remember this for when people start to question when the world started on its downward spiral.


This week.

hello gorgeous

 
 

Suzi Blu's dog.
 
 
 
   I died and reincarnated today when I took my first steps into the Blick Art Store and saw that it had two stories. That place is everything good in the world.
 
       An old favorite ;).
