sense of space very much apparent imo

moving pix ok?

Like animated gifs?

wtf

best movie ever it brings me to tears every time

the hysterical voice note is especially commendable.

I can't see it :(

for some reason i think of it every time i walk down the alley, and thus snicker and grin as i go. the neighbors must think i've lost my mind.

jergins you made that? very impressed

i made websites for me and for ari

http://ariariari.com

http://maxread.net

that's very good max even though mind grapes was tl;dr. how do you write that much?

really nice work, max. i'm envious.

and please pass along compliments to ari. good designer! i really love the politics of design poster.

i only update once every few days

ty lxy

max can i rip off your resume layout/font for mine next time i have to jobhunt

also those are v v professional-looking

it is a nice resume! i have to redo mine after i get this grade i have been waiting 6 weeks for :(

Should I make a blog about new things I discover post-moving day? It seems so cliché :(

ari made the resume for me! i dont think shed mind. if anyone asks who did it u can send them to ariariari.com

btw i hate my fuckin job so feel free to fwd my resume on to anyone u know lookin 4 a good hardworkin young man

also ari but shes not a man

tell ari that we're always looking for artists to collaborate with, we pay v v v v little since no one buys our books but it's still pretty awesome

actually, we need someone to illustrate a poem we're doing as a broadside soon (nb when i say 'illustrate' i mean do a cool pic that will complement the work, not like, an actual illustration of the work)

really? she might be interested, ill mention it to her

chance.press.books (at) gmail if she would like to find out more. these are v v small projects, so not a huge amount of work involved

I think I mentioned this to j before but I should direct my lil sis to y'all. She is always looking for projects to keep her creative juices flowing.

send her our email address!

I made sangria it is good but not very photogenic.

magazine-worthy, that

that looks tasty but i don't like salmon

can't believe no one on the sandbox is impressed by the fact that our press has an INVESTOR

f u all

*ahem* did you see my tweet *ahem*

ok f u all except tza

hey now! i think it's probably safe to say that all of the sandbox is impressed. gee.

tehresa your salmon dish is a work of intense, fleeting beauty, like a Navajo sand painting that's lovingly crafted over untold hours, only to be raked into nothingness ("eaten") minutes after its completion. yessir, you might say I'm impressed.

that's really nice but actually there are leftovers so it's not gone!
also the salmon wasn't that great (still adapting to electric stove ps that is a panko wasabi crust).

leftover fish can bring endless joy if you break it up into bite-sized bits and mix it into a pot of (already cooked) couscous.

I've cooked salmon on a foreman grill a bunch of times. it comes out nicely, though if you're not careful it can end up overly dry b/c too much of the juice tends to leak into the drip tray. I don't really know my way around an electric stove either.

i am scared my next apt might have an electric stove. i hate them :(
salmon looks good. what's in the middle? bok choy?

it is baby bok choy. it's cuter.

hey lxy

i need some advice on paint/paper combos - the idea i have is for a particular kind of concertina binding, and i want to sort of sponge paint all along one side of the paper, but i think i want it to be quite thick and textured. do i need to worry about the paint soaking into the paper? should i get particular paper/particular weights of paper? what type of paint?

i've never done this before so i'm a little nervous

what are the leaves

pineapple

making something right now where i misread the recipe and put 4x more turmeric than called for
oops

also cut a jalapeño and my entire right hand feels like it is in a fire? how did i do that
plz help

this too shall pass

harbl, how are your hands now?

ruby, i'm not an expert on what you're asking, however my intuition is that if you're using a heavy, textured paper you want one with a lot of sizing so it's less porous. and/or use a heavy paint that won't bleed or soak into the paper. what kind? dunno.

probably you want to ask at your art store, though, for a better answer than my half-assed guesswork.

my hand feels almost all the way better. i bought a large quantity of jalapeños though. i hope i will use them all for something

perhaps now go buy a large quantity of gloves

lol

thank u lxy! guess i'll just have to experiment

this reminds me to buy turmeric.
it's funny, when stocking a kitchen, how you forget about valuable spices like turmeric. they can really add a lot!

harbls, did you have a cut on your hand that sliced the jalapeno?

no visible cuts but maybe my hands are dry and have tiny ones

you are up early!

i always get up this early, 6 or 6:30

the hard part is actually doing something after i wake up that early so i should leave the internets now and have coffee and study things

the cat woke me up at 5:30 giving me a sensual butt massage but i went back to sleep for a little

uh

good morning to you both

the sandbox is boring when you are all asleep.

i am about to go to sleep right now lol

so, apologies in advance

you know how cats do this (weird video lol)

The cat making massage to his owner's belly. It's very funny!

sleep well tehersa.

i like it when cats do that, they look determined.

mock-up (v v rough-looking) of the deluxe edition of our latest book!

nice work!

smoove, that looks great. It reminds me of the vintage tourist photo/postcard books. Do you make the hand-laid paper (if that's what it is - it looks like it on my monitor) too?

thanks!

nope, we don't make the paper (the books would probably take us a year to make, if we did), we just hunt around at art supply stores. that decorative paper is actually made with banana leaves.

collaboration w/ my mom's bf's daughter, who I babbysat. she provided the storyline & I did like 2/3 of the artwork, but I refused to draw the dogpoo and dogpee and dogbarf and catbarf because those things are GROSS.

that's a nice rug you made, harbl. too bad someone's big ol' foot got in the way what would have otherwise been a great photo.

*got in the way of

txs unreg =)

unregistered u are a much better artist than your possible-future-step-sister imo

aw, at bedtime every night she tells a pug story to anyone who cares to listen. the one I heard involved a shrinkinator, but it trailed off as she started to get sleepy...

made something but have to fix it. this is a placeholder!!!!

waiting with bated breath, etc.

pomocado?

acorn
squash
ur head

ha, at first I thought your squash was topped with very, very small lobsters. you can even see the rubber bands wrapped around their claws.

i'm never going to finish the thing that goes in the place holder. it is a sweater. it fits just right except i had to redo the neck because it was bigger than i wanted. but i had to just guess what to do with it and i guessed wrong so i'll do it when i have more patience. but i am also still working on second sock (it needs like 4 more inches argh) and i just started a hat. oopsss too many things

felted hat:

It's almost dry today. I'll trim it with some wide grosgrain ribbon I think.

is it not cool to make your own socks

it is totally cool to make your own socks - what is that pattern?

says the woman who has started following strangers around to see how their hats were knitted ;_;

lol<3

jaq it's mari muinonen "rise and shine socks" but i didn't do the cables at the bottom, just kept the 4 on top rather than 8 going all around
