The restrictions of trying to make something cohesive within a 6 second time frame, drove me crazy at first.

Then after getting a bit stir crazy on a recent road trip from one edge of California to the other, I started using Vine to record the slightly spastic antics of my friends, Lazy Pigeon and the Blind Chauffeur!

How they get anything together, is just beyond me.

We made a zine together full of nonsense about llamas. We called it a llamazine. Its my new favorite car. Heres some photos of our booth!

It was my first time doing conventions. It was so fun being able to sell the things I’ve had so much fun making, hanging out with my best friend all weekend, and putting ourselves into a sugar coma along the way.

I was asked to submit a tutorial that is environmentally friendly and cute. I had lots of fun making baskets out of paper, and strawberries out of watercolor.

Check out the whole tutorial that I shot and illustrated, over at Dark Rye!

It was a desire that laid stagnant for years until my boyfriend told me that he is so ticklish, that he can’t touch his own feet without feeling tickled. From that moment, I find myself…accidentally…brushing my toes up against the bottoms of his feet because I know its going to result in an unexpected chuckle in an otherwise silent room. If you have a friend who is ticklish, may I suggest this really awful, excruciating, and hilarious activity? Try drawing of writing something on the bottom of each others feet!

Tickling is the best! It causes your to laugh uncontrollably and no matter how much you hate it at the time, everything feels fresher after a good laugh. (unless it results in you pissing you pantaloons). Even the word itself is pretty funny. The best thing I’ve seen all week is probably this video on how even rats enjoy a good tickling:

My other favorite tickling moment, is probably this penguins laugh and nod.

I love spinning! Heres some other things I love about life, along with some recent photos I’ve taken:

When things don’t go as planned. Its what makes events into adventures!

Homes that smell sweet and welcoming

Putting a bottle of water in the freezer just long enough for it to form ice around the edges of the bottle, then drinking it as if its a glass of ice cold water!

fake flowers

Old California movie theaters that look like huge coconuts

pulling leaves off of artichokes

When a stranger catches you looking at them, and smiles.

When oranges look like they have belly buttons

Doing a handstand, successfully, for longer than 2 seconds

Gated walls that remind me of Mario

Spotting otters!

Urban Camouflaging

Getting super fresh popcorn at the movies

Hearing the strange out of place/era things people say while playing video games.

Outdated restroom decor
Bitting the tips off of strawberries

Jumping off stairs instead of using that last step.

Good/ bad puns…actually all puns

Portugal. The Man‘s fun live light show

decorating trees that missed out on Christmas

going to dinners where you’re greeted at your table by a honey bear

When the sky tries to use all the colors it can at the same time
