Great handmade wallets for men and women. Purses and bags too!
• One of my all time favorite blogs Laissezfaire posted about my work/ interview etc. I’m so happy! Su Ling of Laissezfaire posted about my fabric collages a while back too. I’m psyched to be on her amazing blog.
Yesterday’s post mentioned that MJM at TYS did an interview with me on her shiny new and beautiful blog. Here it is.
I promise that the rest of the week will be cool art and design by other people!!!
I’ve been working with Mary Jo Matsumoto of Trust Your Style blog for months on illustrations that feature her stunning designs for her lookbook and promotional packages. I’m so happy that I started blogging since it’s led me to making new connections and friends like Mary Jo.
I’ve had such a ball working with her. She’s not only an incredibly talented designer of jewelry and clutches but also an excellent art director. The collaboration was fun and fruitful.
She’s posted lots of the illos on her re-vamped website. TYS style blog is relaunching today, as in NOW!! She’s going to have an interview up that she did with me. I’ll link to it tomorrow. Here’s the interview with MJM on Maquette that started us off.
I even got my own stunning clutch out of the collaboration (that’s it above, like candy). It’s very beautiful in person, inside and out. I carry it everywhere and get lots of compliments on it. If you want to get an Infinity Clutch or gorgeous earrings check out her site and contact her stat. They’re selling like hotcakes.
In other news: Pro-intellectualism or animal cruelty? You be the judge.
Pretty convenient I’d say, to be tagged by Gold & Silver Stars to share stuff about me. This is my 101st post! It’s a good time as any to tell you I just launched my website. Here are all my illustrations. I’d love your feedback.
Here’s the deal with getting tagged, I have to:
1. Link to the person that tagged me and post the rules on my blog.
2. Share 7 random or weird things about myself.
3. Tag 7 random people at the end of my post and include links to their blogs.
4. Let each person know that they have been tagged by leaving a comment on their blog.
Here are my answers. They were steam of consciousness with a lot of childhood stuff:
1. When I was very little I was rather noisy. While staying over at my aunt and uncle’s house one day I went into the other room and got very quiet. My aunt got alarmed and ran in to check on me. I was covered from head to toe with ballpoint pen. She said to me exasperated “why did you do this Samantha?†and I replied, “you shouldn’t leave pens around where there are little childrenâ€.
2. In my first black and white photography class in college I asked my friend who was an excellent BMX biker to do some tricks so I could take photos. I spent the day shooting his dangerous, death-defying tricks like riding down long stairwells and jumping off rooftops. Later I discovered that I forgot to load film into the camera, it was super embarrassing to tell him.
3. My husband and I met when we were 24 years old. 4 years later and two weeks before our wedding, we found a photo of us in day camp at 5 years old sitting right next to each other. We didn’t remember.
4. I think David Lynch’s Dune is one of the best movies ever. I often pretend to be Sean Young and ride sand worms. My husband is the only person who’s amused.
5. Once a week when I was in elementary school my mom took me to MOMA to look at art and get a black and white cookie. To this day I love art and cookies. I think the repetitive experience of getting cookies and looking at art made me associate art and food. I did a whole series of paintings on food and women’s relationship with it. Maybe she should have taken me out for asparagus.
6. When I was little I called artichokes “orange cokesâ€. My parent’s were bewildered since they never gave me soda.
7. My whole life, one of my favorite things to do was to get up and draw all morning, through the day, and into the night. Still is.
Here are my tag-ies:
(Coquette answered these questions. I had Hi + Low on there but so did my tagger. I guess we both love that blog).
1 Martine Workman at Little Otsu
2 Jill Bliss at Doe (Here’s where I posted about Jill before)
Yeah! I’m on TYS’s art picks of 2007! And here’s my daily drawing.
