not having the best day.

i turn to the powers of the internets to cheer me up.

cats = laffs. maybe i need one.
it would be named “sneak.” obviously.

creepy dudes in kiddie costumes never fail to elicit a smile

i like the baby freaking out in the corner.
not having such a fun time after all, are we? babies crying make me smile.

anthropomorphic things are best. (doesn’t matter, animal mineral, vegetable)
faces on tasty food = +10

As we all know, I love sneaks. Sneaks often wear masks. Thus, I am christening these my new friends.

Here is their theme song:

“Sneaky Sue” by Patty Lace and The Petticoats.

Not the post-punk Petticoats, not the twee pop Petticoats. A band of a much much older provenance.

Sorry, I don’t remember where exactly these images came from. If you know, comment with a link and I will give credit!

I love the Hamburglar, Adolf Wolfli’s masked figures, the original sneak (Where’s Waldo), the original sneaky animal (obviously, a Raccoon).

Recently I discovered my newest friend.. THE RED PANDA. Omg. I think this is the cutest animal ever. I am in LOVE.

Then I realized in Super Mario 3, when Mario finds a feather (or is a leaf?) he turns into a Red Panda and flies. It all makes sense!

THE OG I CAN HAZ CHEESEBURGER

WHAT’S GOING ON, JUST WEARING A MASK AND HANGIN IN MY CRAZY FLOWER PETALS

SLEEPY SNEAK!

These photos, shot by James, are from the second of my three tour events. Instead of posting up at Nordstroms along the West Coast (like June’s events) these were at various Vans stores. Way cooler kids, way cooler environment, way cooler soundtrack.

This painting was created by drawing the graphic on one side and painting on the reverse. It’s a technique I don’t usually use (enamel, gouache, and silkscreen is my default). But it was a good solution for viewers; it’s more interesting than sitting at a table or seeing the backside of a slab of wood. I like the way it turned out, so I may use this technique more often.

Oh, and the paint is totally opaque when it’s against a wall or lit from the front. I couldn’t figure out a way to iron out that kink.

This just appeared in the new issue of Nylon

My sneak! Two pages. And my name isn’t teeny weeny itsy bitsy this time. yesssssssss

thanks James for the photo!

Ok. So my original plan to be Kate Gosselin for Halloween seems unlikely. I’ve been too busy to actively source 8 plastic dolls on the cheap. I could theoretically go to Toys R Us and buy them, but I can’t bring myself to spend the money. All the 99 cent stores had one or two dolls and I need them to match.

Anyway. Nobody seems to know this TV show. Although, those that would get the reference would have some good LOLs while I dragged all the “babies” -mildly retarded plastic things with eyeglasses drawn on- bopping down the street whilst tanked out of my mind.

My plan B was to be a sneak. An inside joke between three people but I don’t care. I’m going to maybe dress as a French sneak. Or a Hamburgler sneak. Someone with an eye mask and a bag of loot. Looking, of course, sneaky.

It’s 2 am and I just finished up an assignment. On my way to the bathroom at the end of our studio’s hall I encounter my neighbors, door ajar, topless, and slaying dragons. YOU GUYS!
