This love affair began when I was but a boy (girl, whatever), riding around with my mom, getting lunch on the run.  Soft Taco.  Mexi Fries.  Crisp Bean Burrito.  Sprite with ice nuggets.  Good good, fresh fresh.

Taco Time is the perfect doing things food because it is awesome and makes you feel awesome and jokes are funnier and also the world is brighter.  

RIP Taco Time of Capitol Hill.  You will forever be in our hearts.

sweet, sweet reservoir

I stumbled across this amazing picture while looking for ketchup cartoons online (point of interest: the cover of Bjork's seminal album Homogenic appears in search results sooner than a lot of pictures of actual ketchup. Question mark?).



What I discovered was that this little beauty lives in Collinsville, Il (road trip?), and while it may not be filled with actual ketchup, in my dreams it is...and the cap screws off. This was taken by Sweetie Pie Press whom I discovered does sweet zines and really cute buttons!

What I also discovered was the awesome amazing people at Renegade Handmade! I'd not heard of the Renegade Craft Fair, OR Renegade Handmade--but ballz they are cool. Supporting local Chicago artists & crafters, they also sell on the interweb and have stuff going on all over the country. Go buy something!

Hopefully one day they will take goods and services into their fold...

If I could, I would draw these cartoons.





Be these cartoons.



Instead, I will cut out little fabric pieces that kind of look like these cartoons....but only if you don't really know what these cartoons look like.

born to eat

This was my first attempt at re-creating a famous historical icon of our times. An inspiration to us all. A household celebrity name. A myth AND a reality--a mystic from beyond. The famous orange cat.



Since it was my first re-imagining of a preexisting cartoon I made the shirt for myself so there was less pressure. Clearly, I am born to eat, so it was fitting. Here, my friend Glasses is showing it off.



Each aspect of the cat face is individually cut and sewn.
All black accents and type are done in waterproof fabric paint.
The born to eat food stains are organically placed with different food & drink materials.



I have several more ideas for this series, so more orange cats to come! Message me on etsy to start one custom for you!!
