Improper Care Instructions

Hello! Here is my latest painting. I submerged a cactus in water and painted from that. It felt very weird, and messed up to do it. I think I may be a certifiable sociopath for it.

Heh....

My Doughnut Art is in Fight Club 2!

Hello! It was recently brought to my attention that a centerpiece doughnut I decorated for artist Cameron Stewart made it into the second issue of Fight Club 2 (The graphic novel)!

I made friends with Cameron about a year ago, so when he visited Portland this Spring I was sure to make him a celebratory doughnut for the release of his latest project, illustrating Fight Club 2 with author Chuck Palahniuk. 

Chuck is one of my all time favorite authors. I suffered from insomnia one summer and binge read his books to the point that his was the voice in my head. It was pretty intense. October 2013 I was Marla Singer for Halloween. It was fun.

So, naturally, when you can celebrate the creation of an awesome work with a delicious doughnut, why wouldn't you?

Cameron visited in April of this year, and on my 30 minute lunch at Voodoo Doughnut I referenced this photo below for the centerpiece I made him. I was so proud, it only took 28 minutes! Haha.

(This was the first concept piece to the project Cameron ever showed me. It's so great!)

Anyway, Chuck Pahlaniuk is great, Cameron Stewart is great, go send them some love and buy their books! And be sure to keep up with Fight Club 2!

Much love,
