This is why you should never kill a black snake. Move over Jackie and Audrey, there’s a new fashion force and she’s topping the best-dressed list of every fashion editor I know. Cartoons are basically the visual manifestation of all the twisted, derailed trains of thought of their creators. We are listening…to the edges of the universe…having travelled across time…. Founded in 1929,...

My mom is seventeen, sitting at her kitchen table giggling with my aunt and drying pink nail polish on her splayed fingers. My great-grandparents are glaring at them from across, across the room and my great-grandma’s viscous Yiddish accent drips down the walls accusatorily – “Why you put all this paint on yourself?” “It’s just for fun, Grandma Belt” my mom replies hesitantly. She calls her...

Pickle pickle, try to stay free it’s really hard. Mommy, how do you draw ice-cream? Can you help me draw ice-cream? Headphones are a disgusting concept, ear waxxxx. Zig zag hip-hop tip-top shape, shapes circles squares triangles, red blue yellow, primary. View fall 2008, view summer 2008. The record plays to the beat of my heart…like a metronome. Painting is so optical, so translucent and delicate...

Let’s try this again I guess no music for now because music just sort of weaves into your skull and you can’t escape it, but it’s usually a good thing because its just so wonderful like water and air and you just don’t think about it you hear it but you don’t its almost like writing this you just roll roll roll with it…I wonder what Isabel thinks im doing im just clack clack clacking ferociously,...
