It's the end of an era... R.I.P. Hilly...

About Me

I live in Baltimore with Jack (my boyfriend) and Henry (my fat kitty cat). I have lived here for almost 2 years now and I am still not crazy about this town. The one good thing here is the giant, old house I bought. I finally get to design, paint, sew, and do whatever I want! That is a very good thing. Now, if I could only figure out what everyone else loves about this place...

My Interests

Jack, art, music, sewing, poker, records, interior design, monsters, books, tiki drinks, fat kitty cats, film, pinup girls, Coney Island, vintage textiles, flea markets, robots, board games, collecting things (like art, creepy big eyed dolls, and shiny things)...

Here is some art I lurve....
(Click the pictures and look at their art!! It's good for you!!)

Scott Saw...
I don't have this one (I just love it) but I have other Scott Saw pieces that are outta this world!!

Dave Burke...
I bought this one!! Woohoo come to my house and check it out!!

Sas Christian...
She is brilliant.

Glenn Barr...
I have these as prints... they are awesome.

Camille Rose Garcia...
Another brilliant female artist! I just got a set of her prints back from the framer and they are gorgeous!! Unfortunately, her originals have skyrocketed right out of my price range...

There are way too many to show here. Also check out... Travis Louie, Kris Lewis, Fiona Hewitt, Emma Mount, Andrew Brandou, and if you have read this far, you probably already know about... Robert Williams (genius!), Mark Ryden, Tim Biskup, and Gary Baseman. There are sooo many more worth mentioning.... If you like to talk art, let me know!
