the ultimate uniform
i wear something like
this pretty much everyday.



i'm embarassed to
report that for the past
5 days I have been wearing
the same button down shirt
and jeans with a wool
cardigan sweater.


it goes like
this pretty much
every week


it makes life so
much easier.


the less you buy
the less you want

forget the container store,
all i need is my nylon
chinatown bags


I lug these
all over nyc.


they're so handy and cool
that I even have them sitting out
in overhead storage.


i'm digging the
plaid applied
to chairs!

it made me think:
work is hard.



hard for everyone



even the
seemingly toughest
of them all sometimes
loose their cool.



cursing the
mountains



wanting to be elsewhere
wanting to be doing
something else.



but hey,
that's life.


no pain, no gain

lately,
i've had the
urge to stick a
vintage flower
on everything
i make.


especially
on something
that is very pure
and minimal


to make
it explode and
bloom like a flower
...like the virgin
de guadalupe
!



it makes me
think of my youth
and going to the sticker
store on pine street


I remember having an
incredible collection
of flower stickers.


i refused to use them.
i would just browse through
them daily and fight the constant
urge in my body to rip off the
back and stick it!


i was quite
a restrained child.



i still am.



once and a while
I have to tell myself to let go
of something precious


or
put it to use



something
that I guard and suffocate
with the routine glance of the eye;
the brush of a finger




there's nothing
worse than curating
objects like they're
in a museum.




I'm guilty
as charged
