Pins & Polaroids

Feeling nostalgic for being a teen in the late 2000s. I love that Y2K is trending, but man, it makes me feel old! 

I hope this blog brings all the feels of the old internet, while bridging it with the new.

it's a process

It all starts with a mood...usually a muse...a vibe...the energy! What inspires me at the moment? Who inspires me at the moment? How happy am I? How depressed do I feel? Well, that changes day to day! 

It starts with a doodle. I guarantee you it won't be clean or pretty. Just a quick sketch in pen or blocking out the shape in Copic marker first, then doing line work. I seldom use pencil. I love drawing in small spiral notebooks & sketchbooks. It all just depends on the moment. 

Some drawings I'll sit & retrace over & over just for fun, changing things until I have the whole thing down. 

I always scan the drawing to my computer, put it into Adobe Illustrator & use my drawing tablet to trace my work, make clean vector lines, color, shade & add detail in the end! 

It's a process & I wouldn't do it any other way. I love hoarding art supplies & I love drawing on the computer. It's the best of both worlds!

God is a computer

I love Adobe Illustrator. We have a deeply complicated relationship. Nothing has made me want to throw my computer out the window as much as it has, but somehow, it's the program that keeps me sane. <3

GIRL POWER

I owe so much to the women who came before me! Be the kind of woman who wants to spread love, hold boundaries, live life and MAKE SOMETHING POSITIVE!

There’s too much shit in this world already. Don’t be the one tearing others down & don’t tear yourself down! ✨

Fish Eye

Fueling my nostalgia for being a kid/teen in the mid/late 2000s, I've been rewatching my favorite movies with one of my all time favorite actresses, Shannyn Sossamon-- the epitome of the indie IT girl, I was dying to be! And yes, I still want to be her! 🖤 #agirlcandream

My Top 3 Shannyn Sossamon movies:

-Wristcutters: A Love Story.

-The Rules Of Attraction

-A Knight's Tale

Fairy Gothmother

I wanted this shoot to be super fun & festive. The inspiration was from a childhood dream of mine...what girl doesn't want a magic wand that changes her outfit in a snap & puts art on her walls?! She's better than Santa! 

With the first outfit (purple fur coat, Pucci scarf as a tube top, grey denim skirt with pleather crosses, gold faux snake boots, pearl body chain, blonde wig), I wanted to show how the Fairy Gothmother feels before she spices up the place. 

She's cute. She knows it too, but as a Fairy Gothmother she needs to look the part and that means matching the vibe of the place she's fixing. 

And so the story goes...After stumbling upon a mantle that needs some festive wall art, she waves her magic art wand & poof! Colorful wall art appears.

Happy with her work, she realizes she needs to change her fit to match the new scenery & with a wave of her magic art wand she changes into look #2 (red faux fur coat, white faux fur tube top, metallic red pleather mini skirt, furry red pointy toed boots, gold star body chain & star necklace, sparkly long Santa hat, green wig) a dazzling new fit, perfect for the scene! 

But wait...she forgot the most important part...the colorful filament stars! She reaches for her magic art wand & summons all the stars from her gold star body chain. Poof! 🧚‍♀️

Shop Update

As of 2026, I'm only selling stickers & pins. I might drop a mystery bag of wall art, earrings & other goodies, every once in a while. I'm going to focus on making new designs & channel my energy into different ways of showcasing my creations! 

Perhaps more limited run 3D printed items like larger wall art, boxes, trinkets, & different kinds of jewelry...the possibilities are endless. I've got notepads & sketchbooks full of crazy ideas & many designs! 

I'm not saying goodbye to earrings forever, but after 5 years it's time to shake it up--for a bit. It will be nice to sit down, draw & come up with things I don't have to think about cutting out & making into tiny pieces of jewelry! 

While always a fun challenge & something I had a lot of joy doing, there are some designs that just don't work as earrings. It's the year of the fire horse! My creative mindset would like to run around freely--don't try & put it out! lol. 🔥

I would love to see how everyone's earrings have held up once 2030 rolls around...can't believe we're almost there! 

Thank you so much to the dudes & dudettes who bought earrings from the beginning & for letting me hangout on your ears! #10yearearringchallenge

behind the scenes

Behind the scenes of me styling the outfit change from the 1st look to the 2nd! For the most part, I know exactly what I want the outfit to be based off what I'm going to shoot. Other times, the outfit will be half styled or I end up not liking it as much & that always leaves me with a much bigger mess in my studio than I'd like. 🫠 

I'm sure the models love changing multiple times & listening to me say "yes!" & then "no!" 3 seconds later, as well as watching me dig through hoards of accessories, like a chicken without its head lol! 

Art is a collaborative effort & I love when the models style the outfits with their own accessories (rings, belts, makeup & hair) or I send them what I want to shoot & tell them to wear whatever they think would go with that piece. Luckily, I think they make everything look good & that makes it easier for me!
