Art in the Park was a good time. I've developed a new kind of sunburn---FISHNETS! The waffle/baked ham effect on my arms is pretty cool. (yes, I used sunscreen.. just not quite enough) Folks really enjoyed the hoops too.
I managed to score a LOVELY blue volvo 240 wagon this week too, so moving has commenced. Or, er, is commencing today. In truth, I really suck as packing. It's a disaster. I've only moved 8+ times in the past few years...
I might have a little moving sale in the etsy shop, just to make my load a tiny bit lighter. The less to move, the better, especially as I'm a horrible pack rat.
Spend $10 or more in my shop (before the cost of shipping) and get $1 off. If I'd realized earlier that today was the famed pi day, my shop would be full of circles, pi and math. Unfortunately, this sale will have to do. Please write as many digits of pi in the message to the seller that you can think of and wait for a revised invoice.
Oh yes, there is also some new art... (sketches and doodles mostly)

Is anyone else celebrating pi day?
First etsy says porn isn't allowed. (ok, but where's the line between porn and art?)
Then R rated items must be censored in their first image to PG. (I hate censorship, but what do you consider "R" and "PG"?)
Next it was images that have "photorealistic" nude parts that must be censored. (what about all other nude art?)
Now: "Don't put anything immediately recognizable as tits, nips, cracks or
genitalia in the first thumbnail. Zoom in to a particular part of show
a detail of something else." from http://www.etsy.com/forums_thread.php?thread_id=5052395&page=3 (&*%!!!!!)
So yeah... frustration times.
It has been censored and hidden by laws and clothes. Sexualized and pornographised by culture and onlookers. When will my body ever be allowed to exist as MINE, in my own context and no one else's?
So, it's entirely possible that I might consider leaving etsy. Flickr, deviant art and even ebay allow uncensored nudity (they may exclude them from public searches or tag them mature too, but still uncensored) I can't wait until april 1st when they decide what etsy's finalized policies will be.

The style is a departure, but I love how it came out.
It will greatly change, enhance and make my life much more awesome!
Please meet my new car, Volvo 240 DL, 1990 stationwagon (of awesome)
It is a fabulous vehicle.
I'm learning to drive it this week. (woot) As it's a manual car, and my last (identical) car was automatic.
More art soon, I promise. Need to get that scanner working!

We took the picture for etsy's self-portrait thursday.
I've been dutifully adding lots of things to my shop. More boob earrings as well as the last-available pair of boob pins. (currently I can't make any more, but I'm working on that) There's a new drawing to post too, but scanner/linux issues are currently preventing it from happening. :(
Also, the remaining squidintines are currently on sale, as well as my glowing-star necklace and circle-dot magnets.
Volvo will be mine on sunday.

Other friends currently selling on etsy:
linzwinz.etsy.com - My sister, not much in her shop but I'm encouraging her to add more.
Check out her amazing fashion designs + artwork at linzwinz.deviantart.com
Orianna Kurrus, my very talented partner in crime + roomate from art school.
She's been working on wearable paintings, and trying to bridge the gap between 2d art and fashion.
She's probably the best guest you could ever hope for at a mad tea party.
Lots more of her art at oriannastudios.com
really. can you even begin to disagree?
no. no you can't.
I've added a few new trinkets to my etsy store this week. New batches of boobs are trickling in along with hot pink uteri earrings!

I really *did* spend the entirety of last week creating boob earrings. 40+ hours.
...and a few non boobs.
