Domy Monster Show 4 November 3, 2009
Mark and I went to a wedding in Houston over the weekend, so I was unable to check out all the awesome drawings/art at Domy’s Monster Show 4 opening on Halloween. It’s up until December, so I’m definitely going to go check it out, let me know if you want to come with me. Here are the monsters I submitted for the show:

Style Roundup: Crochet Furniture October 30, 2009
I recently sent in some sample Apartment Therapy posts in the hopes of getting a job on the staff. I will post my samples here this week.
We have been loving the new trend of tactile furniture, and lately we’ve come across furniture with even more of a crafty flair. Crocheted furniture can be sleek and modern, or just remind your favorite handmade scarf. Could it also be your next DIY project?

Sugar Skulls for Dia de los Muertos October 29, 2009
Sugar skulls are a Mexican tradition for Dia de los Muertos, or Day of the Dead. November 1st and 2nd are the days to honor the dead, and one way of doing that is by decorating sugar skulls. I found this sugar skull below at La Mexicana Bakery here in Austin.
Isn't She Fabulous? This Sugar Skull Lady has Curlers!
Here are some more traditional sugar skulls:

Calendars! October 23, 2009
It’s not quite 2010, but I thought I’d start checking out what kind of calendars are out there before it’s too late. I have been getting the Slingshot pocket organizer for at least 6 or 7 years now, so I know I’ll have that in my purse, but what else is out there?
Apple-A-Day Print - Peel the little sticker off of the apple each day of the year
Perpetual Calendar - This one will last you a lifetime!
Mark wants the Cute Overload Calendar...hard to say no to that!
Tried and True - The Slingshot Pocket Organizer

Funky Junction Oracle: New Work by Dylan Reece
“On view from October 17th to November 7th, Funky Junction Oracles employs a variety of media — prints, photography, painting, animated GIFs, and sculpture — to illustrate Reece’s attempt to fix meaning in a world characterized by ever increasing flows of information and rapid change in the complexity of social systems. Drawing from a range of sources that include the pop-metaphysics of the ’70s, the classical art of Greece and Rome, the internet, vintage nature books, rave culture, and Modernism in art, the imagery for much of the work is unified by an underlying sense of idealism and progress gone awry.”
Here are some of Dylan’s previous works:
