Hey i know there have been a bunch of really good recent posts and i don't want to rain on the parade or steal anyone's thunder but if i don't do this now, i never will lol. DUUUUMP
So this is my house/apartment. Basically it used to be a house and then the landlady bought it and divided it up into apartments. So its weirdly divided inside.
front door/entry way
i'm on the first floor which is nice.
subletters. they're very nice and artists as well. yay. also, like 26 years old. older people! ahhh!
kitchen. is very small.
badly done panorama of my room. i'd fix it but am too lazy/tired/would have to spend time figuring out how...
office! this is my non-paying job. interning for cornell alumni magazine. today i interviewed someone, taped it, transcribed it, and tomorrow i will begin writing a short profile to be published. playing reporter is actually kindof fun.
intern desk :( sad desk.
in any case its a real 'office' so i feel pretty grown up. and my boss told me one day that i can't wear short shorts to work...so thats pretty grown up too.
This is what i do for my not very grown up job. There isn't a picture of me doing it...because its hard to take pictures of myself working zip lines but this is basically the job. thats my aunt too.
here's me. proof! my shirt says staff!
and while we're on the subject of reunion (thats why my aunt was zip lining at cornell), just for stacy here is a picture of my dad in college. he's pretty freaking adorable. i want to be his friend so bad. but its ok because i guess we're friends now... one night while my parents were here, they stayed up til 3am singing karaoke....
OK so dakota knows i still draw. its just that now i don't really have time to have projects and finished looking things. in any case here is an indie guy and some friend of my roommate's
now this is fan art. what happened was i went onto deviant art to look at dakota's stuff and got really REALLY (like go to bed at 4am) distracted and was just exercising my hand eye coordination by going around copying stuff other people did, so none of this is original at all, heads up. its not even original fan art, its like fan art fan art.
jamie hewlett rocks my socks
i mean, clearly not my style, but super cool looking
ok so THIS is original, and it is laura. basically one day we went to ithaca fest and she looked like a cool indie urban superhero because she was standing in a power stance and i tried to draw it later and this is what it is.
more airport pictures. pretty much every time i fly here/home i have like, a 3-7 hour layover. and i just creep around the airport drawing sleeping people.
omg these people were SO funny. at first i thought they were speaking some foreign language and then i realized they just had super heavy scottish accents. and there was this grumpy old man who was making jokes about champagne breakfast but he said champagne brrrrrrrreakfast.
i saw like five people at the airport wearing cowboy hats. i realized its because if you have a cowboy hat and are going somewhere on a plane, you have to wear it on the plane otherwise it won't fit in your suitcase.
over and out.
Hey Allison.
ReplyDeleteYour fucking house is so sexy and east coasty. I know you are used to that, but it still gives me a thrill. The colors of it, with the dark molding and the off white paint, and big plants growing around. That is almost my dream house to retire in. Make it a 1 story, move it to Portland, and some ivy on the walls, and add an artistic spouse (Colin Meloy's sould in a sexy ladies body) and I am in heaven.
Thanks for posting pictures of your room. I love looking at how people with limited resources decorate. You DEFINITELY need some shit on your walls. Is it cool if I send you some of my shit?
Also, your uncle is a UILF. He totally looks like an Ong too. It's funny.
Love your drawings, even if they were copied. That's kind of a fun thing to do when you are in a funk. Like, meditative. I haven't done it in awhile, but now I kind of want too. Your Jamie Hewlitt stuff looks so like him. It makes me want to read Tank Girl again.
I like your Batmans. Is the top one Dick Grayson as Batman, cause he doesn't look like my image of Bruce Wayne. I imagine Bruce SUPER MANLY. I like the sleek shadows you did.
I actually recognized Laura from your picture. I am jealous of your ability for likeness. Like, I often get jealous over your ability to make George Bush instantly recognizable as George Bush, without even a reference.
I always love your airport drawings. They are super sneaky and make me want to try drawing in public more often. I usually don't get such good results. McMahon would be proud of your lifedrawing, but instead of complimenting you about it, he would turn it around into a jab at my lack of lifedrawing.
I think I like the top two life drawings best, just cause they are loose, and countour liney. I like the others two, but the top two are my favorite.
