laptop view of a piece i did for avant garde magazine// early-morning sunlight spots on the bedroom wall

 

how cute are these 'potami' potted plants & cacti made by our friend!?

so im not going to say much more at this time..

pin ups & hot rods

came across some photography by david perry

basically badass chicks with equally cool cars

 

here's some wikipedia to start:

-A pin up pin-up girl is a model whose mass-produced pictures see wide appeal as popular culture-

 -Hot rods are typically old classic American cars with large engines modified for linear speed-
-A rat rod is a style of hot rod or classic car that, in most cases, imitates or exaggerates 

the early hot rods of the 1940s, 1950s, and early-1960s-

-Most rat rods appear "unfinished", as only the vehicle's bare essentials are driven-

the first print i saw was Pink Tattoo above, possibly slutty but also charming

she led me to others:

 Rock-a-Billy Queen Rat Rod

Bluegrass Rat Rod

Hot Rod Pin Up Girl

Chinatown

Chop Top Street Rod

West House Deuce

Pink Tattoo is still my favourite, im considering buying a print for one of my walls

catgirl

everybody knows im a t-shirt kind of girl

i got this catgirl over at ivory jar, cut off the sleeves and voila

 

am also currently into lots of gold bling, hence the ghetto hoops
