Holiday 2009 has 6 papers, 5 tags and a to-do list. It's available to download here!

You can supplement this with Holiday 2008 as I did not deviate from colors much.

Download: Matryoshka Calendar

Simple 4"x6" matryoshka calendar in different colourways.

As with the carnivorous plants calendar, I did not put dates so you can use over and over.

You can download it here.

Aaaand I am off on vacation. If you have any questions in regards to the shop/blog/mag, I will respond by Monday of next week.

Have a great week everyone!

Greg Girard

One of my favourite photographers.







I so love this image.

He has two books: City of Darkness, Life in Kowloon Walled City, and Phantom Shanghai.

I own City of Darkness and it is worth every penny. I highly recommend it.

I interviewed Mr. Girard in ParasolMag Issue 3. Check it out here.

All images are from Greg Girard's site.

Sleeps

Name one thing I don't get a whole lot of.

Happy weekend everyone!

Hair

I was at a neighborhood in SF one day and I saw a small shop with brightly coloured and glittery things. Among the brightly coloured things were wigs.

I've always had a fascination with hair. I find it quite amusing that we always want what we don't have. I grew up in a place where a majority of my friends and classmates had long, black, stick straight hair. Mine was pouffy and unruly so I had it straightened for a few months. Not a good thing to do, by the way. It wasn't until late last year that I've FINALLY learned how to tame the hair naturally. Sort of.

Oh, and I will be closing down my APAD digital shop this week to replace it with a real paper print shop. I think I shall open it next week. It'll contain my favourite images, including new ones.

I'll re-open my digital shop next year in a different format and look.

Black Lacy Dresses

Have a great weekend!

Working Proof Prints

Hi!

Remember my distressed lace dress? I have 50 signed and dated prints on sale exclusively at Working Proof. 15% go to Kids in Need, a charity that gives school supplies to children who cannot afford it. In addition to the 15%, I am donating an additional 100% of my portion to Kids in Need and Puppies Behind Bars. I think both charities are awesome in that they help people lead productive lives through giving and through education.

Working Proof, by the way, is the brainchild of talented duo, Anna Corpron and Sean Auyeung. They also author one of my favourite blogs, Sub-Studio.

You can also find other great prints by other artists. Samantha Hahn and Justin Richel have prints at Working Proof as well. And if you've read Parasol Magazine, both were featured in my mag in previous issues. They are awesome and really talented.

You can find my prints and an interview here!
