The Cobra Shop + Cat Pillow Love.*

over the summer, ian and i went to go check out the cobra shop and ian sold a bunch of posters there and i brought some pillows to decorate...here they live, on the couch in front of the video games, for cute little cool kids to lounge on. i love the check he got from them; they are so endearing..the memo says, "For: CAT" in like 1st grader writing. boy handwriting rules.*

D.I.Y. 4EVA: Zine Love.*

i made my first zine when i was 16 years old. "back in myyyy day," we used to have to actually be on snail mail lists and write letters with pen and paper and contact d.i.y. distros. now, there's the glorious interweb and the adobe suite and it's so futuristic...but not at all. anyways, as i make #2 of this new little series and print #1, i try to refresh my zine know-how, and here's what comes to mind.*


little paper planes has art prints, paper goods, zines, clothing, and accessories. quite cutesy indeed.




mudguts is awesome because it has all these zines made by different people, mostly photography and graffiti, but it embodies the whole aesthetic of that grimy, bloody-kids-on-drugs-naked-and-tagging, bay area look.




speaking of san fran and its dubious nature, im sure most everyone knows about hamburger eyes, but just in case you don't, now you do. a black and white street photography zine that has gotten fairly fancy over the years.

Village of Baby Creatures.*

this was the beginning of my love for making babies. at one posint. daniella, chris, and i were working on what was to be an incredible stop-motion film made solely by felties, but alas, he went away to calarts and it got put on hold. but i didn't stop....these are just a few of my fuzzy loves. i want to make an entire heaven of them, a village in the sky like a citadel. more soon....*

Intro/ Sewn Cat Cult Pillows

hello. so i am starting this blog to showcase/network/sell the things i make, the things my boyfriend makes, our projects, vintage clothes for sale, fashion photos we shoot, and cool shit that i find to be inspirational and think should be shared. i'll start with these cat pillows i made: cat cult screenprints and sewn vintage patchworked borders, sometimes with hand-sewn felt babies in kangaroo pouches on the back. enjoy!*

here are some of my friends with incredible artistic abilities that you should check out. mike alvarez is holding the big cat with the samurai baby and kime buzzelli is photographed holding the baby pillow in front of the diamond-eyed cat poster.
