one of a kind show part deux

you really should go, you have until sunday and i bet all the artists will be reducing prices on stuff to get rid of it all. cheap cheap recession cheap cheap economic crisis etc sigh frowny face. warning: ridic. amount of photos with ridic. demented captions post wait warning? more like (what is the opposite word for warning?)(fil and i are fighting about this now, i am insisting there’s got to be an opposite meaning, like, ugh nevermind) you’re welcome! in case you missed the first post on this, here it is.

fancy breakfast i didn’t eat so i wouldn’t fire hose spew on everybody.

sigh.

erin, do you see your grandma somewhere in there?

i don’t deserve any of this, do fancy functions make you feel inadequate, or are you a totally gluttonous self-righteous narcissistic ungrateful snot? just wondering.

the hour to cruise before the public was permitted entry was appreciated.

i want to see the look on hipster parents’ children’s faces when they unwrap something “one of a kind” like scott, i am hip and i made you therefore you are to be hip too and this is what you will play with, a freaky fucking puppet, use your ironic post modern imagination now piss off daddy’s got a southern comfort headache to drink off.

i guess i should talk seeing as i got zeesy to make a doll for my niece.

i wanted to throw myself kiefer sutherland styles into that thing. if you haven’t seen his movie i trust you to kill me yet you simply must.

so you got like, yer minimalist hippie come yuppie dinnerware over here.

then some jewelery seen worn by celebrities you barely give a shit about.

owls are out dude, didja miss that memo?

hmmm maybe.

there’s your plug, sorry you weren’t around when i touched all your jewelry. this one booth chick put her hand up at me like talk to the hand when i whipped out my camera, pfft. this other old lady wouldn’t let me take pictures of her matryoshka dolls she asked me what for (clearly i’m media look at the badge) i say for my website she says oh no no i ask why not, it’s free advertising for you (retard) and she says no i don’t do the website, i think she was matt’s mom haha.

nice rings, gross hands. how come in real life they look normal but when posed (ha) in pictures they make me look 40? it’s the british right?

too hippie for me.

love it.

i am a nerd for miniatures thanks to my mom. one day i would like to photograph her collection. i remember she took me to a miniature show when i was a kid, i know, so fun! (shut it)

a good gag for your obnoxious cigar smoking buddy wait what’s all this fucking junk inside? then it goes straight to his teenage daughter’s bedroom, then the garage sale.

i don’t know what the hell this is but it’s huge. CID LEAVE ME ALONE.

cd holders made from record sleeves, you can mount them on the wall or have them on a swivel stand.

dirty hippie dread/hair headwrap.

um no you can’t come over, in fact, we’ve moved.

WTF man-repellent vests galore.

shit for your garden.

cute original clothing for your totally hyper-unique individual free spirited annoying child i will not babysit.

i’d like to think that lady made an effort to smile for this picture but i know she really hated me for this and hey guess what ethel? i was up since 5 in the morning with mega anxiety and still soldiered out to take a picture of your lamps stop being an egomaniac.

these make me think of kid rock and that makes me think about how much i don’t feel like having sex with whoever is wearing them.

haha for fil.

ok that’s cute and patriotic at first but now i am picturing your ugly parents “making you” so thanks a lot kid.

the effort and detail put into this booth was really endearing, she also had a kid and i overheard her talking about the daycare he would be going to once it opened up, french accent, the kid was spazzing out too it was funny. i would be so pumped if my parents brought me to their booth for the day. wait what the F next year i can just get my own booth.

sooooo love these.

you want this for your daughter and her name is Wednesday Violet, you disgust me.

easy there fil.

i carried that cup with me everywhere how bohemian, yeah and then i played hacky sack and wrote some poems at a drum circle while smoldering plumes of clove smoke encircled me.

perfect, my next visit to the psych ward wardrobe is now complete.

these guys represent how much acid the artist consumed over the course of his life.

still can’t figure it out.

should i start wearing a beret so that people will know i am an artist before i even open my mouth?

there was a point in fil’s life when he wore a fanny pack UNIRONICALLY, likely around the same time his hair was down to his ass. probably after that too. fil, what in the hell did you keep in your fanny pack? oh and he had a pet ferret too. case closed.

these guys were nice.

fil’s step dad collects weird knives.

neat, from top to bottom the process in how a knife is made.

is that a bow staff? i bet these dudes are LARPs.

see how deliciously free of people it was for us, ahhhh. on our way out the herds of women and bummed out kid nerds were hilarious.

just give me a minute to crab out a sec.

TMI asshole.

um your kid swore at me that means i can break one of his toys.

these people were nice, i gave them my card so i have to say that in case they are reading, but honestly they were decent, they let me take pictures of every single faerie.

i really like little things, is there something wrong with me?

resting on a nest for some sort of creature what is going on here?

um you passed out on my purse i kind of need it right now hello.

even smaller ones!

fil stopped me from buying this and my heart still aches for it a little LOOK it’s on a teeny BED made from the forest i can’t STAND THE WHIMSICAL PUNCH ME.

i suggested this little tiger lily for fil’s mum or a similar one to it (for a tree ornament). these things seem like a good idea at the time then you bring them home and are like, oh my fuck what did i do? then you get to watch your loved one pretend to enjoy your little trinket that cost way too much money and then you hate yourself for the rest of the nite. i am one of those eager to please gift givers, it goes along with OCD, being neurotic and desperation to be loved and accepted by everyone and it so totally sucks.

have you had enough of these things yet?

funny name. we sampled a blueberry chocolate, interestingly yummy. as he gave it to us we had to pose for pictures so i of course made stupid phony open mouth excited face, overdoing it is my thing. it’s amusing to me when people (strangers) expect normalcy and then i funny their asses into outer space they are like what just fucking happened?

capital YIKES.

thank you for bringing heaven’s gate back i missed those guys.

see? something normal.

shit for your mom.

dad this is the book i was telling you about. this 24 year old kid working for the national film board of canada found himself in india by fluke with the beatles and decided to stick around like a little genius.

can you believe the luck and aren’t you disgustingly jealous?

he wasn’t there when we were he had just stepped out, good thing too otherwise i’d have spooged all over him on behalf of my dad.

here‘s the official website for it if you have 875 dollars to burn.

ok that’s it, this post is finally over.

you look pretty in your fancy dress

but i detect unhappiness

great, great video. oh how i miss summer.

and did i hallucinate that chris cornell feat. timbaland video just now? cos i can’t find it anywhere online. it was, well i don’t know what it was but i know that it WAS. i was hypnotized and i think i liked it. i think. remember i’m hung so everything is amazing to me right now.

as you can tell i’ve been having a really productive day in bed watching television and now i want to super glue my eyelids shut. don’t get me started on what not to wear. FIL BRING ME BACK COFFEE RIGHT NOW I NEED MY BRAIN BACK.

see this m-f’er, did YOU do this? you are not a nice person whoever you are, you purposely set out to take money out of my pocket. awesome solid gold look at you what a shining star you are! now if someone wants to buy it with its tear-added street cred, let me know. or it can be patched. the drama behind this piece is redonkulous.

i exchanged this for another one cos the cup area was missing thread, should have just sewn it cos the one i have now the foam boob padding is lumpy and now i hate this dress but i’ll still wear it to fil’s work party and the whole time i’ll be self conscious about my lumpy padded tits (as well as ten million other insecurities that pop out of nowhere at these such events). lesson: always buy the dress you try on, no matter what.

good thing i have a reserve of thousands and thousands of pictures on my laptop that i’ve been too lazy to get to. i am going to wipe down that wall the second i get off my ass.

i didn’t even notice the 6 fingers (ok! five fingers 1 thumb you nerd prick) when i bought this.

had a great time last nite

but now i am epicly huuuung. one of those nites that start out innocently enough, dinner with fil’s dad, then ten bazillion glasses of wine later and wii bowling at samir/sharpie’s and i’m pretty sure of the lot of us i drank the least. sharpie and i had to walk to every ghetto variety store in search of celery salt, they had none, so then we ventured to the least harmless looking old man bar to ask for some and have a gratitude shot. sharpie swears the bartendress had a british accent, i swear she was just dumb. *EDIT* it has been brought to my attention twice now that this reads like i am saying sharpie is dumb, no, you are dumb for reading it that way. i was doing a “bit” here people, thanks for not getting it. the bartender looked dumb to me. that’s all. end of story. her mouth was open as we were talking to her, people who require open mouths for their brain to function are stupid, FACT.

today is going to be radical.

they buggered fil’s new prescription glasses, one lens has no prescription at all, amateurs. what else is we can’t find his original pair and he’s blasted still and blind and we are both half-assedly searching for them, bonus i did find a new hippie necklace in his drawer. what’s this? i asked. i dunno can’t see aw. then we got in a discussion about the old ten and twenty dollar bill i gave him in the drawer.

i will answer all of your questions from the comments in the previous post throughout the day in slow motion, thank you.

huh what time is it you ask? oh well just you know, time for my favourite picture depicting my current state ever at the moment, what’s up mike?

fondly, Hugh Janus.

*update* found the glasses, they were in my sarah palin jacket pocket.

oh and i took care of two bday gifts for him too. how selfish is fil for having a birthday so close to christmas?!

Flosstradamus

now that my camera is busticated i have to force fil to take pics of me, annoying. my favourite time to take crappy self-portraits is after a glass of wine, emptying my bladder then beer-goggling myself in the mirror, snapping a ton until i get the right one, likely just how the ole pentax bit the dust. anyway, after disciplining cid (fil did) last nite immediately after i asked fil to take some pictures of me. enjoy. or don’t.

my abs are starting to get their shit together as well as love handles.

here i am asking if i can list that cooler on craigslist. the answer is no. oh and get a load of the sauce from supper on my chin.

yesterday was a good hair day, who knew washing it did that?

a relic from 1999 i took from the laundry room library collection. practically every book i’ve donated has disappeared too. i shall gift this to fil’s ex for xmas.

i told fil the top right corner one is what my body looks like in my head.

my head is a nice place to live.

hailey doll!

i got my buddy zeesy to make a doll in the likeness of my niece for her christmas present, isn’t it great!? i bet she will adore it and not let it out of her sight for one fucking minute.

zeesy is having a fundraiser at switch contemporary cos she be broke in japan right now so all her toronto artist pals (me included) are having a group show, i’m donating a painting or two, go check it out DECEMBER 10. ps. i’m pretty sure if you asked zeesy nicely and waited until the hustle and bustle of christmas was over you could commission her to make a doll in your likeness or your kid’s or cat, anything she is incredible! fil bought me a nerdy stuffed guy off her a few years ago i’ll find you a picture of it in a minute. BYE!


my camera is brokeded :(

i didn’t drop it or anything, i think the battery is cacked or finally the camera itself is. GREAT. PERFECT TIME OF THE YEAR FOR THIS AWESOME WICKED RADICAL. went for a tan, took a few stupid pics of myself as uje and then the lens just wouldn’t close. met up with fil for thai basil and all the waitresses and waiters gave me crabby looks cos i chose a four seat table for the two of us. oh whatever it wasn’t even busy there. now my stomach is goofy feeling and i have a dumb tan line on my back (deciding to purposely have tan lines cos i’m a 70’s porn star all of a sudden?)(in my head)

the grinch who stole christmas is on right now (magical) but i am totally bitter and stressed and hatin’ on this season everything keeps goin’ wrong, little things adding up, like for instance, combining my cell bill and rogers on demand cable together without my asking for it calling them up and making my voice sound as crotchety as possible on the voice detect operator thing-a-whatever and then feeling immediately guilty about it once the female robot voice responded back all cheery.

we rented step brothers. will ferrel you better deliver the same canned shit you always do I DO NOT WANT TO HAVE TO USE MY BRAIN ONCE OVER THE NEXT 1.5 HOURS.

someone cut one of my paintings too.
