It's A Tween-age Love

Proof that I am slowly... no, actually rapidly back-sliding into my tweens. Started reading the twilight saga. The friend who loaned me the books, who shan't be named... no longer wants them at her house for fear she will be judged. She instructed me that when I am done with a book, I am to leave it in a public place, so as to pass on the gift of teenage monster romance.

Further poof... I baby sat this baby face and GOT PAID!

Echo Park
My friend Eva spotted these sugar bears in the LA Times and went on a quest to buy them at a lil' Tokyo bakery. I left mine in my car overnight and discovered this horrific scene. Decapitation.

Today was the launch party for the latest issue of Mammut Magazine. It was held at one of my favorite spots, the La Brea Tar Pits. The latest issue is dedicated to exploring Megafauna, or in other words LARGE MAMMALS, with a focus on the Pleistocene era. And who is synonymous with large mammals from the Pleistocene are? Sloth Bear is.

Christina!
Roman and Matt, the editors / designers / masterminds-genius-brains.

I contributed a piece for the issue, and had a t-shirt making table.

Do you mind if I sloth you up? Do you mind if I sloth you down?

Ayana and Moritz made it out to support a sistah. She's showcasing my article and illustrations on what is what like for the Sloth Bears during the Gold Rush of 1849.


There was also animal mask making.





Happy friend.
Spent some quality time with my muse.

Felt it was necessary to offer up my "New Moon" copy and my Yak mask to the Ground Sloth statue to show my appreciation, and give thanks for all the creative inspiration I've received throughout the years. Also, if you are in the La Brea Tar Pits area and you're hurtin' for some sweet Edward Cullen vampire love, race on down and scoop that shit... before you have to rip it out of the hands of some tweeny-bopper. RUN!

Photo Mash-up

Biker love.

Took this photo at an art exhibition's closing performance. People were dressed in solid colors and movin' around all fast. Looks swoooshy and trippy.

Crazy for cat paws! These are special, there are extra toes. Mitten feet! I just remembered they're called Hemingway Cats.



Have you ever been to Clifton's Cafeteria on Broadway? What a treasure! Animatronic woodland creatures, endless jello and pie, woodsy themed atmosphere... FUN!

After you eat your weird pie you can go hang out in a strange steeple.


This is my baby niece Ivy... who found herself getting the Sloth treatment.


Took myself on a hot date to the old LACMA and La Brea Tar Pits. Doing some research for a top secret art project.

PIT OF DOOM.

A family in peril.

Oh snap. That's some trouble.

That sad little fake elephant baby's distress kinda breaks my heart.

That is an inappropriate pose!

Nice expression.


Wall of Dire Wolf skullzzzz.


I'm a big fan of sloth hands.


That sloth looks hella bummed to be in that situation.

Found myself in La Canada around the time the Angeles National Forest fire started. Heart crushing. I love that forest.

To quote the illustrious Arlie Carstens, living in L.A. has been like "living inside a flaming orange cotton ball". Yeah I guess, kinda.


Wow, I've rediscovered this jam and it's inspiring me in major ways. This song has been making me DAAAAAAAAAANNNCE!!! I'M EVEN DANCING RIGHT NOW!!!
