Hullo. Where have I been, you ask? Well, I’m not so sure myself.
I’ve been so busy! If you don’t know already, I’ve been incredibly involved with the Worldwide Vegan Bake Sale happening here in Los Angeles, CA. Check out our website: bakemeupla.blogspot.com, Twitter page: twitter.com/bakemeup, and please make a donation at our Tip Joy page: tipjoy.com/u/BakeMeUpLA/
We’re going to be raising money for Earthlings and Animal Acres. For more info of when and where we’re holding it, keep checking the website and our Twitter page.
So what else have I been doing?
I made paper (I know you’re jealous)
Ate at Follow Your Heart with Melisser, Kristen, Alex, and friends. I had the Reuben. (I know I’m going to piss some people off…) I wasn’t a huge fan. It just didn’t click with me. I don’t know if it was the amount of mustard they put or the dry seitan or how everything spilled out when I took my first bite. No more Reuben for me. I bought some funky ice cream there too, but I couldn’t resist it since it had peanuts in it (nom!). It was made with quinoa, which made it have a grainy after taste. Wasn’t the best ice cream I had, I can tell you that much.
And there was World Fest…One word: HOT! I never sweat so much in my life (that’s a lie, but don’t need to talk about that particular event). I was so thankful I bumped into my girl, Jen and her friend. Lots of people, lots of booths, and only one sold ice cream. Maggie Mudd, I love you. You saved our butts from melting. In all, it was good (other than the parking…grrr…) and fun. I met some great people and possible sponsors for our bake sale (!).
I didn’t understand his shirt. Maybe you can explain (?)
The hero of the day
I went to a car show! It was so fun to see all the old vintage cars (*swoon*). Again it was HOT. I became so dark! Sunscreen isn’t helping! Anywho, the show had some beautiful machines there. If a vegan boy picked me up in one of those…yeah. Where was I? hehe.
I’ll be over my head with setting up the bake sale, but I’ll try my best to be a better blogger. Hope you’re all doing swell.

So Twitter was down for an hour or so(noooooooooooooooooooooo!!!), which I was not upset about (waaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaah!). Definitely not addicted.
Thought you’d like an update as to how I’m doing on my collab project. If you haven’t been following me on my twitter or twit*pic…then too bad for you then, huh? I’ve posted some pictures of the original piece on my twit*pic. I was handed down that huge sheet of of brown paper with all these drips and splatters and a whole bunch of circles. IT WAS A NIGHTMARE! Not that bad, just too much to work on. I used pastel sticks & pencils, charcoal, and acrylic paint (neon & metallic). I went inside the majority of those (damn) circles and filled them with things that go around in my head…don’t know where the concept of fetuses came from, but it all tied in somehow. The usual characters I draw made their starring appearance. Overall, I think it was a process of dealing with some major ADD…I think it was the circles that were driving me nuts. Although, I’m pretty happy with the results. I didn’t really paint over the drips, I just added more of my own. I liked the way it all looked grungy and spontaneous. All it needed was some bright colors and something that sparkles (I mean, my piece without anything that glitters? Puh-leaze!). I’ll try to post some more things tomorrow (when the 5 of us get together) on the collab projects.

If you don’t have anything to do(or if you do, try to make some time to sit down), check out these movies. THEY. ARE. AWESOME! Especially Humans! Fantastic. My photoshop professor worked on their website (ends up he was a vegan for 5 years. He’s a veggie now. Who knew? I’ve been meeting more and more has been vegans everyday. GO BACK TO WHAT YOU WERE PEOPLE!).
