Twelve little things about my attic corner studio:

  1. My headphones. Gift from my sister! Really vital for when I need to focus— popping on some music (the live Daft Punk album is great for working, though I’ve been listening to Parks & Recreation commentaries and some podcasts like the Indoor Kids, the Nerdist, Making it with Riki Lindhome, WTF, and Back to Work lately) is great for getting in the right headspace. I also affixed my remote to my desk so I won’t lose it, and you can see my bungee cord chair I sit at too.
  2. Little card from the PDX ACE workshop I took in June— hosted by the lovely Erin Loechner! Truer words never wrote for me.
  3. A lighter from a convenience store in Omaha back in 2004 when I met my friend Beej. It still works great! It’s sitting on this neat tray I scooped up at Target a few weeks ago and some salvaged scrap cloth from SCRAP.
  4. I got a lot of awesome books this holiday, but this monster tome of Dior Couture dresses is fantastic. For some reason I’ve avoided drawing fashiony things but I really love when it’s over the top. The photography in this is really inspiring.
  5. My copy of American Shorts from Scout Books! Along with a bunch of copies of Eve’s Diary, which I illustrated. Should I put them up for sale, internet?
  6. Assorted little things: gold peacock crayon from Crystal, a yellow timer I need to use more when working, a random owl I got at a Savers in Arizona.
  7. Lovely accordion book from Lesley Barnes and Ari cat doll from Mia Hansen.
  8. Pencil I picked up at SCRAP without realizing it. I like pencil messages better than fortune cookie messages.
  9.  I need more bulletin board space! Scraps of inspiration from greeting cards, business cards, art from Lesley, my best friend Melissa, pals like Kate Bingaman Burt and Julia Rothman and Chuck Groenink. I think if I had my way, one full wall of my next studio would just be a block of cork i could pin things into.
  10. Drawing from Roman and cards I got from Katie Daisy and Pinball Publishing.
  11. Some greeting cards I picked up that I need to write in soon. Artwork from Jon Klassen and Rifle Paper Co. I’m determined to write more!
  12. The one, the only, Leviathan (aka Levi, aka lev-ee). Shivering and catching a few rays under my desk before it gets dark again on a pillow I really want to make a new case for. Leopard print isn’t really my thing, but it was a gift and she likes it.

Have a lovely weekend, all! More art soon. I’ve been painting on tissue paper— going to make some personal work just because.
