YOU GUYS

July 7, 2014

I cannot believe I forgot to blog about my genius art project with my crafty friend LM.  It’s been on Etsy for ages and for reasons completely beyond me, did not manage to go viral.  For your consideration: Carcosan Mirror.

Its shape is that of time.

Its shape is that of time.

Hello there.

Hello there.

And here is the genius copy I wrote for it:

This mirror is 1.5” in diameter. Gazing into it, you can see a little more than one eye, in addition to the depths of your dark, depraved soul. Perfect for the anti-natalist in your life who doesn’t care about her hairdo, or the hard-drinking chain smoker who’d rather contemplate the non-linear nature of time than watch football with his buddies. Looks great on bare, slightly discolored walls.

If shipping domestically, mirror will arrive between 3-7 business days, and arrive over and over again as you eternally wander around the flat circle of time that is your life.

Questions: email Dora Lange at itinerantdaughterandson [!at] gmail.com. PLEASE NOTE that the manufacturers are on vacation in the Bayou until Sunday, March 9th, and will fill orders after they return… if they do at all.

Enjoy?

In case you want to grab one before my listing expires, here is the link.

Homesick, Part II*

*Number may be incorrect

I recently pubbed a little piece about my time at Shakespeare & Co., and the e-mag used this picture (I don’t know where it came from) to illustrate it.  It made me homesick all over again!

Someone Make This

June 2, 2014

Years ago––probably six or seven?––I was walking by the Society of Illustrators on the Upper East Side when I saw some very charming drawings posted outside.  One of them was of a girl wearing a snake as a scarf.  I tried to recreate it.  It’s only kind of terrible.

Ever since, I’ve been obsessed with the idea of someone making scarves in the shape of a snake.  I’ve done some mock-up designs (you’re welcome!) but I think the prints could most certainly be improved upon.  If you’d like to buy the design for me (oh, it’s copyrighted, bitches) please contact Siobhan.

Artistic Mixology

May 28, 2014

“If there were visitors, Toulouse-Lautrec would proudly mix up a few rounds of his infamous cocktails; the artist was smitten with American mixed drinks, which were still a novelty in France at the time, and he liked to invent his own concoctions––assembled not for complementary flavors but for their vivid colors and extreme potency.  (One of his inventions was the Maiden Blush, a combination of absinthe, mandarin, bitters, red wine, and champagne.  He wanted the sensation, he said, of a ‘peacock’s tail in the mouth.’)”

I don’t know, those flavors sound pretty complementary to me.
