california-based artist michael hussar. my personal favorite is the bloodied-up nun.

my brain's the burger and my heart's the coal

is it too late to ask for this as a birthday present? or too late to use the "birthday present for myself" excuse?

in other birthday-related news, happy birthday to jenny lang today! heading to the cantina in a bit for a few pitchers of margaritas. renee and lindsey's birthdays were this past week as well. my life is always dependent on compassionate virgos and reliable cancers. i'm too much of a stubborn lion for all the other signs.

you're the boy with the filthy laugh

every now and then i get addicted or re-addicted to a really great song. ideas and colors and specific people blend together in my mind. i want to capture all of the shapes and ideas and sounds and put it to paper or canvas, specifically for that person. so i'm finally getting started on making a series of paintings and sketches and collages completely inspired by some of my favorite songs. i plan on gifting them to friends through the year when i feel it is time to communicate some strange feeling with them.

first up is "the boy with the arab strap" by belle and sebastian. this one will be a painting. i'm going to use whiskey and coffee and gold paint as the base. color my life with the chaos of trouble!
