I’m going to the Cindergarden album release party tonight at the Hyaena gallery!

I’m going to be selling Cindergarden key pillows ::



And on Sunday there’s an Anti-Valentines Day event at HM157, a historical Victorian house in Lincoln Heights, Los Angeles ::

And maybe I’ll release a comp, who knows…

This weekend I worked on a pizza skirt for [tlr]’s project NVR-NDR! Here’s the concept art:

The actual skirt will be vegetarian though ::

delicious pizza toppings...

the beginnings of a pizza skirt, notice the plump crust

I buy stuffed animals at thrift stores to recycle their fur and stuffing...this raccoon already had disgusting, recycled stuffing! bonus :)

Finished up some Ming and Ping dolls (babies) for the spicy band Ming & Ping, who just released a new album and are touring the west coast! The dolls have rubber bodies keep them in place and upright, vinyl hair for extreme shine, cute heat-pressed faces, and removable vegi-leather jackets with tails in the back!

Raaawr, an army of Mings and Pings

Aww, they're so cute and happy! And you can undress them ;)

brain bags! ...or unstuffed doll heads

For Valentines Day, tlr and I made a stuffed-animal-monster backpack together. It was made out of an empty metal coffee tin, with the intention of being a cookie monster since I was baking a shitload of cookies at the time. We hot-glued and stitched him together out of a few severed stuffed animal limbs salvaged from an awesome Kawiettly Please show ::

The lips are fake leather, the teeth are white fabric sewn over manilla paper with fabric paint blood

Riff Raff and monster (who has glue-snot dripping from his nose)

We filled this guy up with Snickerdoodles and took it to a Darkmatter show, then handed out cookies to anyone who was curious enough to ask what it was :) Liz Ohanesian even pictured us in her LA Weekly article about the event!
