BETWEEN HERE AND THERE IS NOWHERE

This is a publication I designed based on three of my visual interests: super mario world, op art, and the yellow submarine (beatles movie). Over time it evolved into a publication revolving around the experience of other dimensions and questioning the truth of our own.

THE SKATEBOARD IS COMPLETE!!!




stuffed animal time!

So I got a sewing machine for my birthday (yaaaay), so the time has come for some more stuffed animal making. This is going to be a gift for my boyfriend's brother. I used his favorite shirt that doesn't fit him anymore. I hope he likes it!

SKATEBOARD NO. 1

So I'm nearly completed with painting my first skateboard. This is not the latest updated image. All that is left to do is to varnish it and add the grip tape on the other side. I plan to cut lightning bolts out of the grip tape to expose some neon green underneath it.

The finished product shall be up shortly :D

This is the first stab at trying to establish my current Manifesto project. I am in the process of figuring out a system in which I draw upon three chosen visual interests: Op Art, Super Mario World, Yellow Submarine (1968). As of yet my manifesto is about embracing experimental teleportation methods to find alter dimensions or parallel worlds in between here and there. It is about a purposeful manipulation of science and physics to get your have access to an entirely new and pure form of psychedelic experience.

TIME TO CATCH UP!!!


























































































These are posters I designed for a theoretical film festival called the Sour Sweets Film Festival that is sponsored by an organization invented by myself called the Lamebrains. The project was to create a series of posters about a film festival that we were to curate. I chose the films Killer Klowns From Outer Space, Somewhere in Dreamland, and Sweet Talk. The theme that I chose to relate them all was candy. I LOVE CANDY. All of the films seemed to use candy as a negative force, different to the way we typically think of candy and sweets. My idea was to create a narrative that displays this idea through exploiting the way that candy literally does damage or release its downside: tooth decay.
