Edible.

Apologies that my blog's been slow lately, but you'll see more updates soon. Food, and in particular, pastry, has been my medium of choice lately. Some highlights:

Sexy Bane does Halloween

[a brief intermission from digital art for some picspam of my Halloween party]

"Sexy Bane" started as a joke, and ended up being my Halloween costume for my Twilight Zone party this year. There's something about a skimpy costume with an awkward muzzled face that I like.
I felt a little more like a rabid puppy than a super villain. But so did Tom Hardy... I imagine.

More photos after the jump.

The Twilight Zone

Where I sleep:

Stuff on the walls:
Sherman Alexie's ALA poster, Joanna Newsom "Have One On Me" tour poster, collage and monoprints a la me, college graduation cap with pokemon badges, monster poster by "shitbarf,"more of my old block prints, a type painting, a postcard from Oddfellow's, a block print of the highway 16 sign from a friend, a Mad Homes poster from my assistantship with SBC, my pokemon infographic, "DEAL WITH IT," and my pikachu ears from last halloween.

Like a young JFK, don't you think?

iPhone binoculars

You've gotta learn to line up the lenses just right.
No filter on these, ladies & gentlemen, that brownish tint comes from dirty binoculars and sunset lighting-- and that's actual vignetting, too!

Road Trip: WA, ID, MT

My brain feels funny from being in a car for so long, but I just got back from a road trip to see my cousin get married in Libby, Montana.

Like always, I had my camera (his name is Camron), along for the trip. I had a lot of fun in particular in two places: an abandoned building near the Idaho/Montana border and the our motel in Libby, MT.

Thanks for the fun adventure, Mom!

Gasworks at Sunset

I snapped these surreal images during sunset at Gasworks Park. I will be presenting one (I haven't decided which) to my photo class tomorrow for a discussion of composition.

Wish me luck! and you can view the rest of them here.

Good night!
