MerryXmas Intestine Babies

For Christmas, I went to visit my family in Guelph, Ontario again. Thanks to a spectacular Christmas gift (100 Canadian dollars) I made a killing at the Value Village thrift store, my favorite place in the whole world.

Among the treasures that I picked up was this set of wall ornaments - angel babies wrapped in some kind of wreath.

After a quick paint job, the wreaths became bloody intestines and the babies became much cuter:

Happy New Year ya'll! <3

Foxy Motorcycle Boys (on Motorcycles)

For Easter 2011, I went to Canada to visit my cousins in the burbs of Toronto and I finally got to revisit my favorite Canadian thrift spot: the Value Village in Guelph.

This time, I found a cool illustrated children's book from either the 70's or 80's about motorcycle riding.  Back in Philly, on a sleepless night, I painted some wood board that I found in our house with spilled and scraped India Ink.  The foxy motorcycle boys eventually found their place among the ink (and glitter):

 Handsome men, showing off:

Check out that butt:

I enjoy glitter, foxy boys, and vehicles of various sorts, so this one was conceived quite naturally.
