Some Stuff I Made That I Got Around to Hanging in My Apartment August 19, 2009 9:55 pm

About once a week I get a text message from Mike Shane urging me to post more on this site.

The truth is, I want to, very very badly. However I don’t have the time/content to actually post. Today I decided to FIND the content to post. Just for Mike Shane.

Mike,

I made three (well I made more, but I actually liked three) paintings within the past 3 years that I finally got around to hanging up in the apartment.

duck
This is a Goose. I made two stencils out of cardstock, one for the yellow, and one for the black. Sine they are hand cut, it’s a little rough. Made with Krylon on plastic. 8 1/2″ x 12″

hearts
These are Hearts. Again, Krylon on plastic (a “no outside food is permitted into the theatre” sign), however these stencils were store bought. 12″ x 11″

zombie
This one has a funnier story. I found a cheap print-in-frame of Kandinsky’s Squares with Concentric Rings on the curb around the block from my old house. So I picked it up and drew a zombie on it with some squares. The funny part is that my office at work has the same print hanging (obviously sans-zombie). This is hanging above my bead. Made with Krink. 47″ x 35 1/2″

So there you have it Mike! Hopefully more posts to come! Thanks for the push!

Christmas decorations (last one I swear!) December 19, 2008 1:37 am

You may have seen my Christmas tree in an earlier post, well the other night we finished decorating it. We also put up lights in our window and hung our stockings. Sorry Adolf, you don’t get one because you’re a godless heathen!

Multi-functioning Gloves December 7, 2008 4:45 pm

Kristin’s Mom picked up these glove for her….. Isotoner!

they have two styles, folded up over the thumb, and unfolded for heroin addicts who like to stay warm.

Bottle Brush Tree 4:13 pm

Kristin’s Brother was kind enough to lend us his Bottle Brush X-mas Tree (from the MoMA store a few years back) until we get our own.

Pretty!

from: http://www.zagula.com/design_stuff/2004/12/22/kuno_prey_bottle_brush_christmas_tree.html

I am looking for one of these. The Moma Store used to carry them but no longer. It is a simple, super modern Christmas Tree designed by Kuno Prey, a professor at the famous Bauhaus design school in Germany

It is made from industrial bottle brushes dyed green and then inserted into a bright-red wood pole, the tree looks great decorated or undecorated.

Here are some places with descriptions – click or click.

The links are both 404s. So I’d rather not make them take the server hits by linking.

Yes we can? November 4, 2008 11:18 pm

Kristin’s Dollhouse October 5, 2008 11:27 pm

This morning I had the pleasure of moving Kristin’s dollhouse up to the apartment.

I have no clue where we are going to put this thing.

Kristin’s Pot Mod is done! September 21, 2008 6:42 pm

She added a very pretty blue tile to the top of the pot. It certainly adds some more color to our very black and white living room.
