December.

Miss Jennie Gamble: Even Smaller Than You Thought.

Ashely, I just wanted to share this nice photo of squeeze bottle mayonnaise with you. That's right, MAYONNAISE. MOIST. MEAL. PANTIES.

My first Little Person Oil Portrait.

We were Hott in the Forest Grove Christmas Parade, Baby.

Remember November?

Oh sweet Autumn on the Hawthorne Bridge.

Beneath the gazebo at work.

Thanksgiving Abba-ing, Baby.

Thanksgiving "Stam on the Beach." It's a new drink, Baby.

Imagine Halloween.

An amazingly ridiculous customer, Bobby Boy, mocks us with a smile.

Customer Jonah delights in coming behind the counter and telling Kiki to get to work. Marc's Buddah Mask looks on.

Look at these scary weirdos. Who are those freaks, anyway?

Bart shows up at the neighbor's garden where the trees have eyes.

October Days October Plays.

Location Scouting for upcoming documentary shoot, ONE WOMAN'S JOURNEY TO THE PEAK OF MOUNT TABOR. Co-Producer Kelly Means points The Way.



Were you one of the extremely select few to receive my Handcrafted Signature Halloween 2007 Postcard? Probably not. But you can still enjoy it via the World Wide Web! You lucky bastard.

Dinner For One!

Being single is the best!

Concepts For Dinner.

This Season's Must Have: The Concept Plate.

Fall Baby Fall.

Skipt to the Sckotched
Leafens on the Rockts.

Gabey Babey.

Ohhhhhhhh! Look at Little Gabey Babey going off on another of his adventures! And his hat! Today I dropped him off near the on ramp for I-5 South so that he could hitch a ride down to Northern Cali to visit Sara on her farm. And now he is safely there! Yay!

Apple Tasting!

The Portland Nursery had their annual apple (and pear and asian pear) tasting this weekend. There were dozens of varieties and each had a really distinct flavoria, but my all time favorite is still your mom.

Portland Marathon 2007!!!

Team Morantastico y Team YMCA trained all year for this day! And they did it, baby! So Awesome.

Here come the cutie sisters!


There goes the cutie husband!


At the end of the race one of the Champions lets me take a picture with her. So lucky!


And back at the ranch yet another Champion poses for me! But it's her baby who really loves the camera. And would you look at the Morantastic Running Company's sponsers? The Bon Savants and Mountain View Tree Farms! Holy shit these girls got connections.

Yeeeehaaaaaaa Congrats Sarah, Dorothy and Eric!!!

Jennie Benny.

I will paint this portrait of Jennie in my oils class.

California Transplants.

My little succulent garden cut and uprooted from Mama's yard in Cali.

Girls Girls Girls.

My room is kind of embarrassing and that's why I'm showing it off, girlfriend. All it really needs are some fairies, ballerinas and unicorns.

Aaaauurrooooorrraaaa. Aurora. Aurora!

Our fire in the place. Green light courtesy of Sara Holt. Reminds me exactly of the witch's misty globe calling Aurora to the spindle in Disney's Sleeping Beauty.

Birthday Picnic.

A warm evening picnic at Mount Tabor.

Fam Fam.

Mi familia en California.

A Lily Round.

A round of Lily, please.

Damn You Wish You Were A Gangsta (Like Lily And Me).

Lily needed a vacation from The Lesbians so she cashed in her savings, bought a ticket on Kitty Hawk Airlines and flew out to visit me for a couple weeks. Together we're living the life: kicking asses and cuddling left and right.

!Ella No Esta Triste!

Oh Trista you're so cute!!!

Profiling.

WonderDog!!! Now officially her name is Chili, but who gives a flying fuck? Clearly not me and my roommates because we can only call her Wonder...Dog, that is. Anway, here's a nice profile shot of my good pal.

Team SuperFast Goes Coast To Coast.

The three founders of Team SuperFast: Gabe, Zoe and Emma. Photo taken just before Emma flew back to Pennsylvania to spread the Speed.

Here in Portland, we miss her already.
But she'll be back.
Oh yes. She will.

A Renewed Lover.

Wow! I have fallen in love with dinosaurs all over again! Instead of doodling flowers, I doodle dinos; instead of drawing hearts on customers' cups, I draw dinos. I just can't get dinos off my mind, or my wall! Here's the newest addition to dino family in our living room.
Acrylic on plexi-glas, baby.

A Sneakity Peakity.

Thanksgiving 2005. Oh look at the Babies. Looking forward to Thanksgiving 2007, but Steve, no Thanksgiving will ever beat the one we had in 2006. If you know what I mean, Baby.

Photos from an Amazingly Wonderful Album given to me by Miss Kiyo.

I Never Told You.

Kim, Cliff, and Meredith, I never told you that I used you in my post-apocalyptic collage painting (a work-in-progress). Meredith, I used the photo you took of the plane. Kim and Cliff, that's a picture of you waking up in the camper in the garage in Oregon City.

Lord Of The Rings?

No, it's just the Holt Family Munchkins, an assortment of Sprites, Fairies and Fire-Elves.

Prehistoric Party Baby.

John and I made some Decorative Dinos for the Prehistoric Party.

John's Dinos:

My Dino and her Dinositas.

I'll Hair Your Do.

It's pretty important that everyone at work wears the same Hair Dos as each other everyday, so I made this flexible weekly Calendar. The Do's are attached by velcro so they can be rotated in and out of the ever increasing Do Collection.

Five Girls Edging The Field, (Baby).

Phil treated Sarah and her lovers to The Decemberists' outdoor concert held at Edgefield. It was a lovely evening and after the show we toured cute cute premises, full of gardens and tucked away hobbit bars. Then, suddenly, I had a funny feeling that it was time for a self-timer group photo.


The framing was off and the background quite blah so next we tried for one in front the sunflowers. I waited for the crowds to pass, and thinking all was clear I ran back to the group. Oh but I was so wrong! Some little children with parents in tow tried to walk between us and the camera. I had to save the pictur! I jumped in front of the kids and flapped my arms and a leg wildly through the air! Frightened, they jumped back and the photo was saved.


When one of those Observent Observers (O.O.s) saw how desparate we were for a nice photo he offered to take one for us. So naturally when a passerby noticed that we were posing he jumped into the frame. Click! Finally, a perfect shot of the girlfriends! ...And some guy.

Meet My God Doghter.

Wonder Doggy! My roommate found a Little Miss Daschund for free on craigslist. But here's the question: Can YOU find her?

Here are your clues to identifying her whereabouts in the above image: She's three years old, supernice, supercute, superfunny and rarely barks. She now belongs to Kelly Meanswell. The dog is currently experiencing an identity crisis: Kelly just hates her previous name, Raindog, but hasn't yet chosen another. Some possibilities: Daisy, Bon Jovi, Chili, Shakira, Maybe, and Cranberry.

Still can't see her? For the answer, turn your computer upside down.

Carolyn And The Purple Train.

A train-fence! And a weirdo dressed in white.
