Dottie is winging her way back to the great plains of Kansas as I write this. She left late this morning. There’s just one Moss sister left in LA tonight and she is enjoying a Lemon Cream Martini all by her lonesome. Oh Muchachos! You’ll want to make this very very much. It would make a good dessert martini. Since I always eat dessert before dinner it works perfect for me.
1 oz. vodka
1 oz. lemonade concentrate thawed
splash of limoncello
1 oz. vanilla syrup
4 oz. milk (you could use half & half, but 2% really is creamy enough)
I invented this one myself. Once you have your ingredients stockpiled it’s fun to experiment.
I’ve enjoyed my last day of vacation very much snuggled away up here in the tiny cottage on the hill. I like easing back into school with a 3-day weekend coming up.
I decided to carve an OBEY stencil of my very own. That Shepard Fairey is such an interesting fellow. My good buddy RANDI who is my pipeline to all things cool sent me THESE very informative and interesting videos on S.F. Then there is THIS old Salon.com article that I enjoyed very much. If you’re a hopelessly clueless sort like me you might enjoy listening to and reading about the Obey Giant campaign. For years and years my curiosity about Andre the Giant has been simmering as I kept seeing his image throughout the city. I love getting to the bottom of things.
Okay one more…Go HERE to see S.F. talking about his artistic process in his garage studio here in LA.
Further exploration with Photoshop brushes. Between the S.F. correspondence course and the Photoshop mania I really don’t have time to return to school tomorrow.
AMY sent me this fragrant box of earth and water from a secret location somewhere near the Columbia River. My very own box of the Pacific Northwest. Pure bliss.
Gator Pride shows her lovely face in the garden.
Someone’s running out of t-shirts.
A chipboard book covered with scrapbook paper. And getting covered with more photos and scrap and paint. It’s currently living on my oversized t.v. tray.
A person’s gotta have an art project to work on during Dexter, Survivor, International Househunter, and Ugly Betty don’t they?
Glad you got the box ok and it wasn’t confiscated!
Ok, I’ve been lurking for awhile now, and today just does it. I have to tell you, I am transported when I get to scrolling your blog. You could keep me busy for weeks, following up on everything you share. Way cool.
HolySheepSh*t…do you know Shepard Fairey is featured in (and on the cover of) the Nov. issue of JUXTAPOZ? I just picked up a copy today! I have LOVED this guy since I first laid eyes on his Make Art – Not War poster…it has been my motto since!!!!!!
I am a lemon martini whore!! I must make this!
I have already asked for some lemoncello.

omg! thank you so much for the links to Shepard Fairey – he’s a new hero for me – and so eloquently spoke to my own issue with the American Flag — I’m all a flutter, wondering how I can reclaim it – on to some art!
thank you, thank you!
I really enjoyed the videos. I wanted to rifle through his stacks of stencils maybe almost as much as do.
What an interesting and varied blog entry. Enjoyed it mucho even without imbibing!
Always a treat of inspiration to come here and visit your page; can’t imagine the thrill of being a sister and visiting in 3-D; your lucky family having you as a jewel to visit and be inspired by!
(and Dexter.. my fav… I have to wait until On Demand shows it locally; but I am hooked. Did you see Jekyll as well? hoping they return with season two)
Boxed Northwest…I love it!!
Just spent an hour with Shepard … makes me wonder about what else is going on in the world that I know nothing about. (Andre hasn’t made it here to the sticks) The interviews were great. Thanks. And it was fun trying to decipher your journal pages too (tee hee).
With all this stencil making and graffiti spraying you might want to put a get out of jail free card in your wallet.
It should fit in there with your spray nozzles.
