Wow! Artist: Aubrey Learner

Oh my goodness, I am in love. San Franciscan artist Aubrey Learner has an MFA in fine art and a BS in biology, and the combined loves mashup to create something truly stunning:

blush

watercolor on paper 23×38 inches

pheromones

watercolor on paper 17.75×30.25

black chemise

ink, graphite on paper 36″x24″

milk and honey

watercolor on paper 33×41 inches

collector

Acrylic and ink on paper 48.75×45.25 inches

Her intricate drawings include insects, silk, candy, pins, lace and parasites. They arouse both disgust and desire; smaller perhaps disturbing bits making up a beautiful, larger whole. More images in her online portfolio, here. Ugh, she is so good!!

Things making me happy lately

With no real rhyme or reason, here is a collection of happy things, for you. :) Have a beautiful Saturday!!

“Stop working and love me!”

This site: Wunderkammer: A curiosity cabinet of {un}natural wonders - so full of strange, beautiful, grotesque and curious. A stunning collection of images that hugely satisfies my closeted goth, for example – this mantis endoskeleton by Judith G. Klausner:

Along the same lines, a fun place to waste time: odditycentral

…and that’s why I have you.

Song for today

Asaf Avidan & the Mojos – One Day  (Wankelmut Remix)

Momo keeping me company in the back of my chairMore shrinky-dink action!The wildflowers growing on our porchGot these in the mail a couple of days ago – Lumi Inkodye – sunlight-activated permanent dye, which can be used on cotton, silk or wood. My first experiment was rushed and careless, so I’ll let you know when I come out with a successful development! Any case, very cool stuff.   

All of my spare time is spent neck-deep in this novel.

Seattle Erotic

Wow, busy weekend! The Seattle Erotic Art Festival opened this Friday, coinciding with the Fremont Fair. I’d never been before, so this was also the first time I witness the nude bicyclists that are a traditional part of the parade.

Both of my pieces at the festival sold the first day – thank you so, so much, my two buyers! I love you!!

(Blush 2, Blush 1)

Kevin and I were also available to take loss-of-virginity stories. SEAF runs all the way till next Sunday the 24th, so you still have lots of time to come check it out – tons of awesome artwork: 2D, 3D, interactive, film, spoken-word, performance and panels. Definitely try to make it out Friday and/or Saturday night. We will be there. :)

If you live in the area and have never been, do consider visiting the festival! It’s really something. Now in it’s 10th year, you’d never have guessed at how small it was starting out. It’s run by an awesome collection of passionate, hard-working people, and I feel really lucky to be a part of it.
