Everything in it's right place

About Me


I moved to Eugene from Southern California in March 2003 and love it here. I love making and creating. I sew all kinds of things, make rugs, acrylic paintings, wood assemblages, stained glass windows & mosaics, and all kinds of funky stuff like this:
Please let me know if you'd like something made and I can do just about anything. Check out some of my art at www.jamieburress.com. My friend Emma made the whole website herself :)
I have an art studio at 245 Blair Blvd.- STUDIO B. We're open the last Friday of every month for the Last Friday Artwalk from 6-11pm.
My newest sewing projects are these Tampon Purses/Condom Cozies I make from felt. I have some for sale at Infinity Mercantile (8th & Blair) and can custom make one for you. I've also been knitting penis scarves- also for sale at Infinity Mercantile. Yay! I'm a nerd!

My Interests

ARCHITECTURE (Daniel Libeskind, Frank Gehry, Coop Himmelblau, and Kurt Schwitters' "Merzbau"). Wish I hadn't quit college 3 classes short of an Architecture & Fine Arts degree! Yep, pretty dumb, but I had to get out of California or I'd shoot myself. ART. I love Assemblage art, cubism, street art, and all kinds of random odd funky stuff. I love sewing funky clothes and sitting around making art with friends. I'm currently working on finding a way to exterminate the human race without hurting any animals. Any ideas? If I can't kill them all, I'd like to at least wipe out a majority of the biggest idiots. Like simultaneously dropping bombs on every Wal-Mart, shopping mall, and the set of Jerry Springer at the same time. Sounds fun, doesn't it?

I'd like to meet:

Old friends & Other artists in Eugene and all over. I'd love to have more art-making parties at my studio, so let me know if you're interested. I actually know everyone on my friends list, and no, I WILL NOT add your lame ass band..... unless you're one of my friends who happens to be in a lame ass band...... I'm NOT on here looking for a relationship. Trust me, you don't want to be stuck with me. I'm a little out of my mind :)

Music:

yes please

Movies:

Donnie Darko--- I make Frank costumes if anyone is interested :)

Television:

How about getting off your ass and doing something with your life instead? Okay, that was a little harsh. I do like watching documentaries & things I can learn from. I'm not into comedies so much, since I feel like I'm wasting my time if I'm not learning something or at least seeing a beautifully shot movie.

Books:

"Ishmael" and "The Story of B" by Daniel Quinn. Oh, and the Holy Bible... that's the funniest shit ever.

Heroes:

Whoever has the balls to go up and shoot George Bush in the head. You have to kill him, though. No grazing shot that only requires a few stitches, though you will score coolness points for trying :)
