is the angry hedonist: former designer who gave it all up to become a poor and starving but happy artist instead. She illustrates awkward women in uneasy dilemmas with that loving touch of macabre. She enjoys telling the world her life’s little stories in her illustrations...

I CUT MY BANGS TODAY!!! i’ve had them for the past 4 or so years until last year when, due to lame reasons of needing a change, i grew them out. after forcing myself through a grueling year of awkward growing-out hair, i finally achieved the bangs-less look only to dislike it… yet i didnt gather enough guts to cut it off because HELL i had just spent so much effort growing them!!! so i kept the bangs-less look. ocassionally i would ask people if i should go back to bangs and everyone’s like No… so i stuck with it… until now!!! finally i put an end to my wishy washy bullshit and this morning right before work i grabbed the kitchen scissors, closed my eyes and snipped away. obviously the picture on the left is a Before picture.

one of my latest “artwork”? teehee. i painted the german flag on my chest with some old poster colours from back in my schooldays. its the kind in tubs. materials that us students were forced to buy during our (mostly) useless stint at artschool, only to use barely a tenth of it. what a terrible waste right? luckily i am a hoarding junkie and well the colours had already turned to stone but poking it with a damp brush melted it easily. yay. i am much too stingy to buy overpriced body paint for a little football zealotry. and being (somewhat) young and reckless, skincare was quite low on our list of concerns. so! a few minutes later i’d painted two little flags like this on my Boy’s cheeks but for myself, deterred by my awful pimply day, decided to stain my chest instead. and on that day, we watched a brilliant match as germany scored a massive 4 goals against australia. the only dampener to our celebratory mood that night was the witnessing of a primitive fan behavior: an idiot of a german making fun of the aussie supporters. not cool, dude, so not cool.

this is matt (he normally looks more kiampa than that i promise! hehe) and that is me (circa 2008 when i had my bangs and long side ponytail)

this is a self portrait (original photograph here sans middle finger).
i made my eyes a wee bit bigger and lashier.
stop the accusatory stares, everyone wants to look pretty(er) riiiight.
and my cheeks look like pincushions.):
