art works – 05

Alex | commission; 2007 | each 18" x 24" | oil pastel and acrylic paint

 

this one is dedicated to my fan "Moira6," who apparently thinks i harbor some kind of anorexia fetish and help perpetuate unrealistic body image aspirations to the world’s impressionable youth, by glorifying compliant "malnourished" and "emaciated" brainwashed physiques.

Alex is probably my most favorite art job ever, she’s so sweet. she’d purchased three drawings of mine (and a dress) before finally commissioning a piece of her own— something she’d "always dreamed of doing." she’s also 5’2" and a perfectly healthy 114 pounds, by the way.

but who cares. go on and have that fifth donut you’re craving, Moira6, while you’re waiting for the elevator to ferry you down two whole flights of stairs. enjoy! no judgment here.

we are all God’s children and therefore perfect, bitches.

Nadja | commision; 2006 | on the Wall Street Journal | oil pastel and acrylic paint

 

yes, i do commissions. this is one of the first ones i ever got, the Arabic says "live to love, love to live" apparently. normally the way it works is that i take several photographs first, and then we choose which image will make the best picture; this way nobody has to stand like a statue for hours on end getting all cold and uncomfortable and shivery like the models used to in the nude art drawing classes i took back in college. ‘gotta love technology.

so yah. that’s the way it works if you want one for yourself.

Perla 03 | 2006 | 12" x 17" | oil pastel and acrylic paint

 

okay so, even though i try to post to this blerg every weekday, i know i’ve missed a few Fridays, usually due to travel or other such unavoidable circumstances. i did notice though, that the web traffic and whatnot does decrease a bit on Fridays as well, probably due to people having "casual" office hours or busily preparing for their awesome weekends and stuff. well, now with the recent procurement of my totally dope 11.6" 2.4lb MacBook Air, i’ve become so much more productive on my daily outings that i sometimes completely forget to have photos taken of all my snazzy get-ups. so it doesn’t seem like Fridays are going to improve very much around here in terms of new content, sorry!

therefore, i’ve decided to post photos of my art works on Fridays instead. with the impending release of PX Me, it works out to be a pretty good idea anyways, since although PX Me will feature some photos (just like PX This – The Revised Edition), it’s obviously just not viable to include the entire collection. so, much in the same way this blog serves as an informative addendum to PX This, it can now function in the same helpful manner once PX Me is finally released (and we return to our regularly scheduled PX This programming), yay!

as always, thank you so much for all your patience, encouragement, and support :)
