‹ my tiny contribution to tinyshop • drawing for ‘fight for flight’ @thinkspace gallery 1 ›
tonight is the opening of a group show called, “the ornament show” at J Flynn gallery in costa mesa, california.
these are my ornaments. the red ones are called “severe pain pin cushions”. i created these severe pain pin cushions last year. they are the only somewhat useful toys in my useless toy collections. for one thing, they come with a wrist band. they are for sale at J Flynn gallery as well as in my online shop.
in addition to my useless toy collection, i made this “milk head-chan” (centre) for this ornament show. this is the character shows up in my matchboxes. i hand-stitched her face. i wanted to make her as ugly+cute as possible. i think this ugliness will brighten the holiday spirit even more. this is available at J Flynn gallery. please contact J Flynn gallery, if you are interested in them.

The severe pain pincushions make me giggle. I just imagine poking a pervert old man. >.> rofl. Do you go to most of these galleries where your work is presented or only sometimes?

ahaha~
i’d like to go every single show that i’m part of, but unfortunately my wallet won’t let me do that. so i only go to a show opening when my wallet says ‘yes’. but i’ll make an effort to go to a show if it’s a solo show or small group show no matter what.

Finally…someone has combined my love of pain pincushions, with my love of christmas decorations.
All the best over the holidays.

Yes! I leave in 6 weeks.
Anxious to leave. But not totally prepared yet either.
Berlin will be such a good change.
It’s been a hard year of rain in Vancouver =(
You should make plastiquemonkey umbrellas!
