I just surfed up this amazing performance. Tremble in textile awe!
”Mater Matrix Mother and Medium” is process-based temporary public art project created by installation artist Mandy Greer. It combines community action, site-embedded installation and a performance produced in collaboration between myself, dancer Zoe Scofield and composer Morgan Henderson, Summer 2009 at Camp Long in Seattle, Wa.
I first noticed this woman’s art b/c she took amazing photos of my friends Maxx and Kristan.
So then I followed her flickr and Etsy store and started worshipping her eye for color, costume, people, and light.
Then I saw her in person at M&K’s wedding and was struck by her 4th-dimensional hair and awesome steampunk finery!
THEN her flickr linked me to her amazing blog full of organic whole foods recipies, beautiful sparkly people, and some of the most inspiring art I’ve been privleged to.
Thank you Libby!
I took a walk around my neighborhood, Capitol Hill, yesterday, and took these pix of spring and the dawning of a new day. I couldn’t be more thrilled about the new direction America is headed.
I simply have to, to see these amazing costumes IRL. I can’t stop staring at the costumes in these photos! How were they made? Who designed them? Look at this HAIR!
In Seattle and possibly the world, right now, is Una Feral. You might see her work on the street tagged SirKullay
Makes me realize my favorite artists, when not a cartoonist, tend to be outsider women. She makes me reel with joy from her steampunk jewelry to her poignant street art.
Amazing coffee autobio drawn in coffee on napkins!

Comics and knitting, together at last!
Some ‘dream projects’ inspiration from Etsy:
Like many artists before me I have a dayjob. I really lucked out with my current gig - I temp at Microsoft as a web editor/designer/writer, and sometimes using words and screenshots to make a User Guide feels a lot like comics (although I still don’t get to draw the screenshots)
Anyways the longer I work there the cooler I think it is, they really let me use my skills and gifts to make things better. I haven’t ‘drunk the kool-aid’ but I might have nibbled on a fruit plate. So I’m SO EXCITED to be getting a Microspotting T-Shirt (Microspotting.com is currently featuring my amazing friend John a.k.a. Terrene) from Ariel Meadow Stallings, I’ll post a picture soon. Meanwhile I’ll post a pic montage of the inspiration I see around me.
Steve Schofield is a British photographer who takes pix of complex fan costumes (calling it the British fasicnation with American Pop Culture), worn by British fans, in their living rooms. The result is mind-blowing, impressive, and pretty funny.
I’ve been following Kate Slater’s flickr stream for some time, she is so amazing.
