let's hold each other

it's officially summer here in the andrews-anderson house.

that means drinking before noon and who has some weed?

things are about to get weird.

get ready for posts on homemade crayon art!!!

and "room of the day" blogging.

JK,  i won't do that.

although...this room here..

 i think i might give fiona a paintbrush and a wall and tell her to go.

SUMMER ACTIVITY!!!!

there will of course be more art posts bc shopping paying bills is important.

up close:

and hanging out:

so happy summer to you.

where monday is no different from saturday for the next 2 1/2 months.

seriously, who has some weed?

updates from FAME(whore)VILLE!!!!

that there is a trailer (size=shoebox) and that is my name (IN TAPE) on the door.

 i feel like i should have some kind of juicy story for you.

but i don't.

the shoot was great.

 i was in and out in a few hours which was great. like really really great.

both damon wayans jr and jake johnson were perfectly pleasant.

but not overly friendly.

though i am not sure what i was expecting...them to hug me and say hey!! welcome to the set!!  let's sit down and talk and stuff between takes?

umm..well..maybe but that's my own fantasy filled brain at work.

they were both nice. and very very funny.

i somehow don't feel right about talking about them here.

it feels like a betrayal or something. a betrayal of actors? dunno. just not right.

and anyway we were working, and we were all sleepy as fuck at 6:30 AM.

me in my shoebox trailer pre-everything.

but post coffee, thank god.

I'M SO ANNOYING!!! 

NBD.

here was my perch.

and yes, those cameras are on me.

it was exactly what i needed.

and i am thankful.

have a fantastic weekend!!

new art and some mild diarrhea...

today is a few things..

it's the countdown to summer vacation week and i am underprepared.

it is also the countdown to filming a movie week and i am experiencing some mild diarrhea over it.

i even instagrammed it  for you, using everyone's new favorite app...

more on movie preparedness tomorrow. maybe. 

yesterday while everyone was getting drunk on a boat i was at home painting this (when i wasn't on the toilet making bicycle eyes and magic poop sprinkles)..

margot

36 x 48 acrylic on canvas

inspired by this margot..

back when she was gwyneth and not goop. 

happy tuesdaymonday.

a pretty good week

i have been holding this news between clenched buttcheeks for weeks!!

newell turner (E.I.C. of house beautiful magazine) contacted me (!!!!!) a few weeks ago and told me he'd like to feature some of my art on his editor's letter call out section. 

in my head i was like what's a call out section?

but with my mouth i was like..YES! PLEASE! THANK YOU!

so  

here it is..

what??

dead.

i mean, thank you!!!!! right? dying? we're all dying a little right?

and as if that weren't enough..

i ALSO got cast in a movie this week.

the movie is called let's be cops and i play an annoying woman on the phone in the movie theater who gets escorted out by the 2 main characters. (jake johnson and damon wayans jr.)

it's all improvised so i get to play which is beyond awesome to me.

i thought i'd make her the asshole lady with 5 kids who escapes to the movies and just talks on the phone to her friend the whole time.  essentially just be myself minus 4 of those kids. 

so...i'm pretty much killing it this week.

but i am already choking on my own famevomit.

in my eyes i am always one bong toss away from amanda bynes level failure.

so don't hate too hard.

or be jealous or any of that nonsense.

bc at the end of the day i am still pulling fleas off my cats (and daughter).

fame scented farts,

there is no real money shot in a bathroom, is there?

this bathroom is not done. (or styled for that matter)

but it's closer than it has ever been.

if you're new here go ahead and swallow the urge to tell me that i need to replace the baby elephant casket of a sink with something smaller and prettier.   

we are renters.  and i am probably going to renters jail just for painting out all the trim. 

also the vent hasn't been screwed back in.

and i think i need to exchange the black frames for white frames.

anyway..styling and shit comes later..

 what i need desperately is a new mirror..

the old one is all wrong aesthetically..

and yes, i am more than aware that TECHNICALLY the light fixture is maybe too small for the sink.

i don't care.

i think it can work so long as i fill up that wall with art.

like so..

and so..

but probably more like so..

anyway..

 i can't really have a rectangular mirror bc it will just emphasize the smallness of the light .  so i am wanting round.

or square.

but probably round.

in my head i see something 70's/80's and lacquery.

like this..

or even this..

i just think i need something with a pop. 

be it white or red or orange or neon yellow.

all that brown is begging for something fun to keep it from being too depressing and glum.

serena and lily has a great mirror that i've been eyeballing for some time..

it looks so good against a dark wall..

but it's totally out of my budget.

 i am also not opposed to a plain and simple contemporary mirror like this one from cb2 that is NO LONGER AVAILABLE AND WAS TOTALLY WITHIN MY BUDGET!

so good that bench.

i just think with a plain round mirror you need to go BIG or GO HOME. 

and that's hard to find. 

here are some recent craigslist offerings that i don't hate...

the size is bigger than it seems. 30" all around.

which is the exact size i need.  31" diameter, tops.

not in love with a quatrefoil but i could paint it a bright color and gloss it up just right.

plus it's 60 bucks, so i could get it and wait until something better comes along.

this is cute as is but it's brown and i can't have brown on brown on brown (poop).

not sure painting it would be a good idea.  but maybe it's a great idea?

(this is where you come in)

same with this one..

the shape is interesting.

but it would match the blinds and that's not cool to me.

but it's 25 bucks.

would it be as cute painted poppy red?

i am undecided.

help me friends.

listening to

lately, while i paint i listen to this...

if you don't know who grimes is you need to check yourself.

she's a one woman show and she looks like a supermodel. 

also someone find me a hat that says PUSSY, stat.

the whole album is trippy times a million but also melodic and dancey.

and on other days it's this..

i can only encourage you to do the same.

(p.s. the whole ameile soundtrack is right up there for you..turn it on you sad fuckers)
