methlab monday consisted of finding a picture to put in this beautiful frame i bought at IKEA sunday night. i scoured my apartment for something and found an x-ray scan of my best friend kelly's insides. what else could i do but nail them to the wall?





i also tried my hand at needlepoint! i would like to thank viki for teaching me the basics. four hours later and i whipped out this baby. i'm most proud of the mustache.

today i went to the Minneapolis Institute of Arts with my friend connor. we traveled through the asian arts and spent a lot of time looking at the ceramics collection. here is a handful that i found inspiring.



The decoration was apparently achieved by affixing a leaf to the interior of the bowl 
before immersing it in the iron-rich slurry used to create the dark brown glaze 
used at Chi-chou. In the heat of the kiln, the natural chemicals in the leaf react 
with the glaze, rendering it nearly transparent.

i want to take a break from THINKING
& just keep MAKING.

guerilla artfare 2.0



i updated the blog with a new background, header, and methlab monday banner. METHLAB MONDAYS OR: why i can only watch so much television. i plan on downsizing my internet networking and hopefully focusing more on this blog - gonnna do away with the methlab monday tumblr for now. i might start doing a "things i love thursday" as well, we'll see. any questions? no. okej.

an ode to...

methlab [not so-] monday

here are some past methlab monday projects that i did, but never uploaded:


does abortion = genocide? oh no it doesn't. twice a year some religious freaks come to campus with giant billboards depicting abortions, so to counter protest i made these.


my bedroom's sparedoor ... to the room of requirement inspired by Reminders. What do i require? My Bed! Clean Clothes! Books! and {poof} there they are!

bolshechix

i recently started another blog (oh hej!) with a few friends of mine called BOLSHECHIX. an all marxist, all feminist poli-blog. we even have a twitter.

here's the logo work i've done thus far:
