My sister gave me some junk jewelry for Christmas (how sweet of her) thinking I could make some interesting things from it but of course I probably never will as the pieces intact are so comically tragic. So, I took some photos of a few of the most grim pieces and gave them a past. Enjoy.

“Boyfriends” is a series of drawings with text, I’ve created with Kara Jansson Kovacev (cloudbuilder). We’ve paired iphone drawings (hers) with small stories (mine).

“Boyfriends” is fact and fiction based–renditions of terrible past boyfriends (much is fiction, much is fun…!) This is the first part in this series:

We bought a Olympus Pen recently and of course it’s amazing. Absolutely beautiful and very compact–not bulky like other DSLR cameras.

I bought this ’50s Ladies Home Journal book on decorating a few months ago thinking I would sell it but decided to keep fit or myself as the photos are so great. These modern design books are always so much fun to look through and I enjoy the vivid technicolor rooms as opposed to the white-washed trends out there today. I thought I’d comment on a few photos in the book, which will appear below after I babble for awhile…

When I was ten, I befriended this little boy …

Found these the other day at the local swapshop. Made in 1961, they’re from a company called, Instructo Products. Basically they’re kits that come with common scenarios/figures of current life (1960s, that is) such as the father in his business attire, mother cooking, Suzy and Bobby in the neighborhood, nature, farm life, seasons, trees, etc. I found one kit which was based on American themes, one “exotic” cultures (both of these very stereotypical) and one country theme-cartoon style–this one was just plain weird.
