fashion inspired collage

creepy doll photos

For those of you who do not know me very well, I take a lot of photos.

Most of my artwork is painting and drawing based, as well as my education 

(I have a BFA and a MFA in painting), but I still take a lot of photos. 

I learned about photography under the Master, Professor Baldwin Lee.

Diane Arbus and Robert Maplethorpe were all I needed to learn about to become obsessed with taking photos of strange people and things.

Here are some photos I took today at Bookstar from 'Haute Doll' magazine, so freaking strange. Thank you Baldwin, for all that you taught me about my strange self and my camera.

lingerie and fishnets

two new ink washes,

sorry the pictures are not the best quality

kooky collage

I made this collage out of some old sewing patterns that Mattie Edwards's gave me after I cleaned out her and Larry's attic. Click on the picture to enlarge so you can read the tiny text.

some more new work

This is a new mixed media painting titled

"Does anybody really know what time it is?"

(click on the photos to see them enlarged, and the glittery ink!)

I really have been making work

I dropped my digital camera about a month and a half ago. It broke and the current economic state did not allow me the luxury to buy a new camera...until now!

I have a lot of catching up to do on my blog, so here goes!

This is a new ink and charcoal painting/ drawing.

The title is "Pin up girls are best, there is no contest"

(title adapted from a song by Kat Brock of Knoxville, TN)
