Okay, so you remember a looooong time ago when I went on that shoot with Alec in Northern MN?? And you know how I said I’d post when the magazine of all the pitchas came out?? Well that was in September. And then, Photo-Eye effed up my order, and I ended up having to endure a crazy fiasco of re-ordering and backordering and delays in shipping from Amazon (who I then resorted to) and ETC. WELL I’m still waiting for my order as we speak. But I stopped by the studio today to say hi to Alec (and go out to get some unexpected coffees) and Alec GAVE ME ONE. FINALLY. MY HANDS ARE ON IT. AFTER ALL OF THIS TIME. THE MAGAZINE I WORKED SO HARD ON. jk… Alec worked so hard on. But honestly, this is what I have to show for my internship with him… and it is beautiful.

and again… can you see my excitement?

ps. did I tell you how I bought a pair of shoes from the thrift store that we shot at, and that one of the girls wore in this double-portrait? did I tell you how SHE GOT CUT?!?! She did not make the final edit of the magazine, and neither did my shoes…

this is the one i was telling you about at brunches!

on the left. isnt she cute, makin lib dubs like the big kids?!?! GAH, she knows all of the words AND SHE KEEPS A STRAIGHT FACE. proud.

ps this is on facebook, so unless you are friends with my sister, (or until i can figure out how to steal/embed it) youll have to just get me to show it to you…

I thought I’d make an actual art-related post. Because thats what we do here, right??? SO. I am obsessed with this artist Rachel Whiteread. She’s a contemporary sculptor who uses resin to take molds of the interiors (negative space) of objects and places, like library bookstacks, the undersides of chairs, WATERTOWERS, and presents them as positive forms. I found this time-lapse video of an installation she did at the Tate Modern in 2006. And I thought Id share it with you, since its awesome.

You have to click on the still to get to the Tate website since I couldnt embed it. But you should look around a little bit at the photographs of the final installation of this work too, called “Embankment.” Also, go here to see the google image results (disregard the one with lego-people in it, I have no idea what that has to do with her…), and find the watertower. Its my favorite.

I was looking through my random pictures because I know Id made one of these guys before, but I didnt realize I had made like, TEN OF EM. Im exaggerating, five…. but still. A little pathetic considering theyre all of me. (Well I have a couple of Alex too, that was super-fun!) I thought Id share with all of you this website if you havent spent hours of your life at it already, and expose the long-awaited many versions of myself to the world. ta-dah.

the last one’s the most recent me.

PS I posted all of these for fun, but also because evans computer freaks out every time it has to look at joels shamby-flag. Im only helping to move along the main page. K!

PS. I love halloween.

WHAT THE HELL IS SHE SUPPOSED TO BE?!?! A cake? A cheerleader? A stripper jumping out of a bachelor party cake?!!? Halloween: the holiday in which women are encouraged to be the sluttiest they can be. (Although I have to say, this is a super-tame costume compared to most these days…)
