Halloween Redux — A ribbon around a bomb

By thisisstar

[Photos by Tim Riot] This year for halloween, I was feeling the pressure of trying to top the previous year’s costume. I had no ideas for weeks, but luckily at the last minute– inspiration struck. A quick trip to the nearest vintage store later, I had everything I needed to be Frida Kahlo. If you’ve [...]

I’m good at holding my breath & scaring myself to death.…

By thisisstar

You guys, things have been rough in Starland. & I suspect they’ll get worse before they get better. I’m trying though– harder than I think I’ve ever tried at anything. Here is a cell phone picture of a laptop screen, editing the Show and Tell video. The raw footage is something I’m really, really excited [...]

In the Meantime…

By thisisstar

I have about a million things to post about, but I need to take/edit photos, or do drawings for most of them. Also, my to-do list is terrifying, I’ve been sick for a week (that’s a post in and of itself), and I’m going to New York this weekend. So to tide you over, I [...]

Laurie Penny’s Penny Red

By thisisstar

So I recently had the awesome privilege of illustrating/designing a book cover for Laurie Penny! If you don’t know who she is, you should read the things she’s been writing about the London riots. I had a lot of fun doing this cover– mostly because it let me do my two favorite things: drawing a [...]

In keeping with my recent trend of trying not to lose my motivation

By thisisstar

Last night was a night not unlike most of the nights I’ve had lately, which is to say I was having a small freakout to myself about not getting enough done. You see, my dear friend Kenan sent me a message recently, saying he couldn’t make it to the west coast for the Alternative Press [...]

Napa: Epic noms, absurd hotel rooms, and silly museums.

By thisisstar

So after the crazy of Burning Man, Tim and I decided that the best thing we could do was go to Napa and do nothing for a couple days. So, we threw Sky in a zipcar and the three of us headed up north for a couple days of Napa, which mostly consisted of putting [...]

Burning Man Holga Photos

By thisisstar

As promised, here are the holga pictures I shot at Burning Man. I can’t say they turned out as well as I was hoping, but I have a much better idea of what to do with my pinhole on the next go around. I got pretty much an entire roll that looked like the above [...]

Drawings, also I miss you.

By thisisstar

Hey guys. It’s been a while. & I miss you. I’ve had a lot of personal stuff going on for a whole bunch of months that I should probably get comfy talking with you about because I’m planning on making it into a book sometime, but it occurs to me that I haven’t really been [...]
