PRINTS+

  Prints are the way to go. There's no sobbing goodbyes with the original or in this case an empty feeling  of the piece being just an imaginary pile of pixels saved onto my desktop. Why don't I make prints of everything?! I dunno. But thanks to some insistent ladies out in Kentucky I finally had some made.  Both of these were a limited run of 10.  I've got about 4-5 left of each.   As with everything in my life, each is uniquely glittered.  Signed and numbered as well.
"No Hay Rosa Sin Espinas" 23"x 20" on matte heavyweight paper, uv resistant archival inks



     This is the print leftover from the artsprojeckt show earlier this year. It's of an older piece that was chosen by the curator.   If either of these prints interest you or you would like to find some other legal way (MtsyZazzlejunk) to stuff my pockets get a hold of me.  Thaaanks!

"Vuela, Vuela"  17" x 24" on matte very-heavyweight paper, uv resistant archival inks.

LA BLOGOTHÉQUE

I want to live on this youtube channel forever! Fortunately there is countless heaps of awesome, more than even my vapid no-life of leisure allows me to get through. Still, I only nibble and lick off all it's recognizable features and wrap it right back up in it's gold foil. I must make this hollow chocolate bunny last. Like when I re-watch the sole season of Freaks and Geeks unhurried and in moderation because once Daniel gets all gutter punk on us it's a fasttrack of hermaphrodites, dwarves and disco. Then what? High and dry. High and dry.

Watch all your faves pour their hearts out through beautiful cinematography in these take-away shows. Here's two three of my favorite ones (so far). See Carla Morrison choke up and let the sadness out at the 4 minute mark. Aww, endearing.

LOS IGUALITOS

     My Godsons, los igualitos, Alex and Alexis turn 7 today!! 7? How'd that happen?  I don't know.  I also don't know when they became such noveleros.  When I called to wish them a happy birthday all they wanted to discuss were the soaps Teresa, Raphaela, Triunfo del Amor, Dos Hogares,  Cuando Me Enamoro...oh brother. <3!!

HAPPY 1ST OF JULY

      
       Just had a birthday. I had a small affair inspired by the party Stella (from the movie by the same name) threw for her daughter Jenny and by the colors pink and yellow, pink and yellow.  Here's some shots from what I learned is called a "table scape" and my other decorations. Pan to a week later and I'm still kicking my way through balloons on the floor and I've done the minimal to restore things back to order.   Can I leave it year round you think?
 

Pink and yellow candy bar.

       My Best friend girl LittleMissCuppyCake made some delicious rose frosted black bottomed cheesecake cupcakes and S'more cupcake minis! And helped me with the icing on my cake.

My guest of honor Isis, got all kinds of chocolate wasted!

And I got presents! Presents are my best thing.

Thanks everyone!
The End.

RAZZLE ZAZZLE

TODAY!!!


   They chose this piece for the print. Took some horrible crap pictures from the touch but you get an idea for the size.


     If this is all new to you, you're still living off the grid (faceplace).  Made some more commerating "Zerts."  This time for my big brother's birthday.  The logo and shark fins are made of fondant. Went with the og sexier logo here.  Ugghhhhh, there should have never been a game 7 but whatever whatever.



     Went to LA to get my Fernandomania blanket.  People think i'm joking but it really will be my child's recieving blanket. My intentions were to get this westsiiiiide Dodgers foam finger but I couldn't find the bootleggers. Are you in the LA area? ¿Me lo compras?


    
      It was our first time sitting out in the left field pavilion.  We even made it on to Dodgerfilms. :)

MY PRECIOUS(ES)

    I send in onnne little image to one of my favorite Dodger blogs Vin Scully is my homeboy and all of a suuudden I'm accused of trolling forums and posting on message boards. I've never even thought of what user name I would have (EtchohuaquilaPark78) or nothing.  But I am always thinking up dumb retorts and smack to talk (back) that are best expressed through my photoshop skills. Usually they stay in my brain, this one actually made it to out.  It was well received.... bad news. That is all the encourgement I need to continue on my 2011 campaign to further pollute the interwebs with horrible hackneyed animated gifs & "shops."  Some folks (three) found it offensive, having anticipated this con-TRA-ver-sy I made a radio friendly edit.

   I still think the original version is more impactful and in the tradition of parking lot bootlegs I'm accustomed to.  I'm from the school of Calvin Hobbs pissing, little English hooligan kid flippin the bird and overall placing  a prefix/suffix of the suck or f*ck variety next to whatever team we're up against. It's comforting to me.  But I understand.  Like I wouldn't send my Dad the first one, but maybe the second one.


OR


This is just a reminder.  Giants fans have always been stank, and that was before they even won ANYTHING.  So you can only imagine now.  FOH with your banner flying over our stadium.
Get hummmm-ble baby.



Let's revisit some of my old work.... (this should be animated)







And the crowd favorite and hilarious Apocalypto Chente...


I need to get cracking on my .psd catalog.
Opening day!!!
 So excited.

BABY ON BOARD

     KNOW NOW that if we play Words with Friends you're in for some deep shiiiit.  And I'm not boasting about the level of my gameplay but actual deep-lifes important decisions- type shit.    So don't engage unless you're ready for some in-game sideline WORDS with your friend Mitsy.  I didn't capture the rest of this chat, but it concluded with some cruise control reassuring from my friend.  "You'll adapt (really?)/ "you'd be a good Mom" ( I guess I do have birds?)   She doesn't know these are just my general concerns about child REARING, it'll take me a few rematches to voice my fears about "some dude jacking me and his sperm growing in my stomach" as Lizard Lemon put it. 

Note: I have no WORDS etiquette according to one A. Merriweather so be warned. I'll lock up the board with nonsense, blitz, sidebust, cock block and roll- all that, believe it.  Turn off your notifications cause I be on some late night word formulation.

Step to, step to....

KORN DOGZ



      Made these corn dog cake pops for my best friend's (girl- childhood to ∞  category) birthday.  She loves corn dogs and is a corn dog.  These are "inside peanut butter outside jellllly" no they're not.  I just wanted to quote  Cadillac Don. They're actually chocolate innards, peanut butter shell with vanilla yellow candy melt "squiggle". 

I also made her some sugah Wu-kies from my own cookie cutter.



ANNNND the other day was my friend Nancy ah- ah- Ahn's birthday.









  Made these along with Melanie, my best friend (girl, high school- ∞ category) when she came to visit for CraftCamp spring 2011.  Hope you enjoyed the musical component of this post. :)

G-LERT

  Is it horrible that I have a google alert set for my name?  Probably.  So keep my name out your content or DON'T because the alert usually turns up a whole lot of nothing.  But today I received a couple for this video.   Here's the link to check out the accompanying write up.




Google recently wrangled up these links too...



Ok bye.
