Jacques and the Jewel Thief

The new Fall 2009 stuff is up on the site!!!

"Jacques and the Jewel Thief"



We showed it over a month ago for Fall fashion week and finally got around to putting the story together in its entirety with a photoshoot.

This season, there are tops, skirts, coats, cardigans, hats, awesome bags (with toys!!!) and crazy ass dresses! We use vintage rhinestones on the dresses and bags that have them.

As always, all our illustrations are hand-silkscreened / hand-painted right here in New York!

Will keep you posted on when they get into the stores.

Hope you enjoy!

We're really looking forward to this and are busy busy busy busy busy....!!

Till then!

Update: The Giant Book of Tiny People

So it's taken quite a while... (<----- understatement)

But "The Giant Book of Tiny People" is finally up under the illustrations page!

Brain is COMPLETELY cloudy from too much computer codes and what not, but here's something to remedy the situation... One of my favorites...

Back from the dead with one foot in the grave

So we've been busy with the shithole that practical life can be. Still are, but we're taking some time to put these photos up. Some are from the exhibition, some are from our graduation ceremony. I have the photographer's site lying around somewhere and I will put it up when I find it. (Thanks Brandon!!)

There are some bizarre ones that I guess our department decided not to put up on flickr, but I will get my hands on those soon. And our giant book of tiny characters too! Will put those up on the site soon.

Anyway, busy busy busy... with my thoughts.

And I'm putting these in because... I think this is actually the very first time I've had a picture taken with a dog. And not really, cos my tech-unsavvy boss was trying to take a picture but ended up taking a video instead so... it's dorky and lame but here's me and max. just cos.

Installation at gallery space

THIS IS LIKE A DEAD PERSON IN MY LIFE!!!

weep weep
RIP

i WILL reap vengeance on the motherfucker that stole our shit

Who the hell...

steals from students!!?? There is an entity that goes by "the man". Or better yet, go do your own shit!

And people ask me why I don't care for most human beings.

Because they disgust me this way!!!

-tiff

crazeeee

So... it's down to the last part of installing and setting stuff up for wednesday. we are both just working away non-stop in the gallery space (and missed record store day)

there was no question that we were going to find time to make both the dead meadow shows this last week amidst everything else that was going on. yeaaaa! made it out to maxwell's on tuesday after much frustration with the damn path train. great small show, i was expecting it to be ridiculously crowded, but somehow it wasn't. got a good spot right up front next to the amps just behind all the 19 year old gear heads who stood religiously (still) in front of the pedal set up.

then deb's brother came into town and we brought him along to the music hall show which was pretty damn fucking insane too. saw quite a few familiar brooklyn faces there and ran into a friend or 2. i was going nuts nuts nuts nuts.

i think i melted thrice over.

ughhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh!! dead fucking meadow!!

Senior show postcards

So the senior show coming up in a few weeks requires individual postcards from both deb and i, so we knew ours had to somewhat go along because our thesis is together. so the main guideline was:

we were both going to have red rhinestone studded barb wires pouring out of our eyes into each other.

so we took some black and white pictures, went to the art store and got some supplies, each did our own thing in our own rooms (albeit a peek every now and then), and here's what happened...



I was listening to the mammatus record outside, doodling, scanning and photoshopping. then this one song came on and i wasn't quite fully aware since i was deep in work. at this point, i was fiddling around with the brain guts and hand reaching out part of the card and then i realized the music was just totally in sync with what i was doing and feeding me all these feelings! low heavy bass notes, slow pounding drums and a heart-wrenching roar and ughhhhhh, i am listening to the same song as i am writing this and i think i just wanna toss myself into the sea and mush into foam!

i looked back on my card just now after it was done and was telling deb how i got this whole weird human/deep sea fish creature prowling the ocean and sending out her evil fish minions vibe from it even though i did not consciously set out to make it that way.

and which brings me back to the name of the song i was/am listening to (i just repeated the song again).

"The Coast Explodes"

yessssssssssssssssss!

p.s. deb was blasting motorhead.

Site updates

We are currently in the process of scanning and putting together some of our past work. Trying to get some content on the site while we work on our thesis. Currently, there are a few pieces under prints and illustrations and we will be adding to them. I might put up a work-in-progress (aka too lazy to finish up just yet) of a 2D stop-motion video I made in my max msp class last semester. Yep.

-tiff

Yay!!!

We just set the site up and we are really excited that this is now somewhat official that we are starting this.

We will be posting ramblings on this blog and knowing us, that probably means a lot of music related stuff and random shit and tons of social commentary.

We will also be putting our artwork up on our site over the next few months as we prepare for our thesis exhibition, and starting the store, getting a business set up, yadda yadda yadda.

Exhibition should be at the end of April. Let us use your space anyone???
