I Mean She Even Cooks Me Pancakes, And Alka-Seltzer When My Tummy Aches, If That Ain't Love Then I Don't Know What Love is...

Here are some canvases that I did for my kitchen. And yes, they are of the animals matched up to their meat products. And, yes it appears that I have a sick sense of humor. But first let me tell you how I came up with this idea. You see my brother Micah, gave me a tray with plastic meat as one of my Christmas presents (not really sure why, it must be because he thought it was funny- I think its funny too) and I didn't know what to do with the meat- so now you know.

And so goes the trend of my artwork lately. I have been very interested in social statements as housewares and home decor. I have been redecorating the house in these terms. For some reason, when people come to my house, I want them to question (like what the hell is this and why is it here) and to take everything lightly. It all comes from my interests of thrifting, painting and revamping crap that I find (all with a little sarcastic humor- it wouldn't be me if there wasn't some sarcasm thrown in there).

~Here's a little list of things that I am working on right now~

1. I am doing paint by #s paintings for the hallway (I thought it would be funny- cause here I am a self-proposed painter do a paint by number) and then framing them in tacky gold frames and graffiting lyrics and sayings on top of them. I might decide to even leave a marker out so that people can write messages.

2. I really want a cowhide rug for the lil' library that I am creating in the house. Is it weird that I want one and I don't eat meat?

3. I cast three plaster of paris skulls that now sit near the kitchen sink. I have named them all, Klaus, Guerillmo, and Choco. Klaus has two painted gold teeth. (I keep trying to get a good picture of them but it needs to be done in daylight otherwise they look like ghostly white blobs.)

4. I still need to finish tiling the ring of fire- but damn its been cold!

5. But I did paint the bathroom a spice color- now when I take a shower I feel like I am inside a pumpkin. I have decided that that is a good thing.
