being terrible at taking photos of myself  means I get to go buck wild in photoshop

done! And as my first sewing project in years... surprisingly easy. I love my Brother. It's older than I am, and has never broken. Probably because there's not a single digital component in the beast... 100% analog baby!

Happy Spring!

From Lisa Congdon's A Collection a Day project.

At about 72 degrees yesterday, we were really feeling the spring. Unfortunately, with all the pollen out, so was my nose!

Thursday's Textures: Acid Green Dream

For some reason I've always had an aversion to kelly green. Too overused in college sports? Just a shade too lacking in yellow? I suppose I should set aside these differences on International Kelly Green day, but instead I ended up with this unintentionally vintage collection of chartreuses and olives with the requisite balance of coquelicot (my favorite of the pretentious color wheel.) Happy St. Patrick's Day!

Robert Longo, Men in the Cities (1979)

Saw this stops-you-in-your-tracks-awesome series of charcoal drawings by Robert Longo on Frank Chimero's Tumblog, "The Mavenist". (great stuff, by the way).
