This is a clutch that I painted for my cousin

I've been catching up on all the things that I have to paint and make for people- so I am sure that the next couple of posts will have some pictures of new items.

Here's a little meme thats been going around- catch you later, later with some real writing.

Meme of Two-

Two names you go by:
Jackie, JACK-A-LYN (my sister stresses all the syllables out of my name)

Two parts of your heritage:
Hmm I'm a mix of many things but the main two I guess would be Mexican and Spanish

Two things that scare you:

slimy things like slugs and worms (ewww it creeps me out to type it) and scary movies where things walk too fast or come down the stairs in a weird way or when they have creepy little kid voices (alright lets just say scary movies)

two everyday essentials:

Enjoy hairspray
Crest Whitening Herbal Expressions Toothpaste - i can tell if I use imposters, yo

Two things you are wearing right now:

jeans and and an American Apparel shirt (accept no substitutes)

Two of your favorite current bands/artists:

jeez, how the hell do you pick just two that you are feeling right now
hmmmmm..... so hard
alright, I pick The Tenderbox and Tom Waits

or The Kooks and Blackalicious

dang, next question...

two things you want in a relationship (other than love):

laughter/sillyness
a love for music and the arts and sushi dammit (forget honesty- just playing..)

Two truths:

A guaranteed way to get me to not do something is to tell me that everyone else is doing it.

I worry that I am too weird and set in my ways that no one will ever want me


Two favorite hobbies:

Craftin'
Crate Diggin'

Two things you have to do this week:

Finish up some birthday presents

Go to a Rosary

Two stores you shop at:

Target (why oh why do I love Target so)
Trader Joe's (I love me some TJ's too)

Two favorite sports:

basketball
and strong man competitions (pulling big rigs is a sport, right?)

Two shows you like to watch:

Grey's Anatomy
Miami Ink


Two things you'd buy if money were no object:

a compound for my friends and family to live
a Sam Flores painting (the dude is my idol- well one of them)


Two wishes for 2007:

To sell more of my artwork
and
To get my stuff in a couple of stores

What I am listening to on iTunes: Band of Horses, The Tender Box, Tom Waits (I'm feeling some moody painting music lately)

What I am listening to on vinyl: The Shins, Pink Floyd, The Spinners

What I am reading: Jack Kerouac's On The Road

What I am sketching: some purse designs and my neverending eyeballs on scrap pieces of paper

What's on my list: I am making a list of five female celebrities to send one of my purses to- so far I have Nelly Furtado, Lily Allen, Karen O, Fergie and Gwen Stefani (I am thinking about adding Pink- but who knows, I think that these women get my painting style though and thats what counts)
