Can't stop. Won't stop.

When will the doll phase be over you wonder? I'm not sure. I have barely scratched the surface with what I can do with dolls- their dead expressions, pristine make-up, and weird mixture of hinted/blatant sexuality still intrigue me. Here are two new paintings, the last of 2010. (Why do I always like the paintings that take me 10 seconds to paint more than the ones that take months, days, hours?)

Christmas Story Mayhem

Christmas 2010 was phenomenal.

Christmas Craft Girls

 I know it's not a competition, but after seeing Whitney and Sarah's blogs about Christmas crafts, I thought I'd share what I've been cooking up in my bedroom/ studio. I made these for an ornament exchange party with other artists, including many of my BYU professors. I felt immense pressure to make a piece of ART, something witty, aesthetic and quirky, but in the end I just got crafty. The exchange party took place yesterday and the best part about it was leaving with a box full of handmade ornaments from other artists.
