Manners

I don't really post on this anymore. It's a bit of a shame; I've really missed blogging. I'm busy and forgetful--- a bad combination.

I'd like to get a new blog. One attributed to my name, not the title that I gave it back when I was 13. It's funny how things work. People grow up, and move on. I'm graduating High School this year, and I'm terrified and excited all at the same time. This school year had been huge for me, with huge opportunities. I was a State Finalist for Visual Arts Sterling Scholar (1 of 15... they whittled it down from 800), won some awards for my art, got a killer job at a Philly Cheese steak restaurant, started growing out my hair, and wished it was the summer again every single second of it.

Guys, I just love daisies.

Anyway, we'll see where this leads. I'm done rambling.

Killing Time

I feel much older now.

I think I look it too.

OMG GUYS I GOT AN AWARD!!!

That's a lie. The only award I get is the worst blogger ever award.



Upcoming events:

1. Summerfest art festival Aug.9-11 (I will be selling screenprinted shirts in vintage-soft cotton and multiple sizes. Also watching The Marvelous Misadventures of Flapjack with my friend Jimmy to pass time in case you want to join us.)

2. My awful yet optimistic band, 1980 Alien, is opening for THE GREATEST BAND TO EVER COME OUT OF UTAH AND SIGN WITH ATLANTIC RECORDS..... Fictionist! On August 10th at noon at the Energy Solutions Arena!! Admission is FREE. (It is for the Tour of Utah)We could not be more excited. We have been practicing every day and dreaming of eating Indian food with them. Stu would adjust his bowtie, push back his hair and nonchalantly ask us to drop out of high school and go on tour with them....

3. Lastly, I, Alexis Vivienne, am making my tweenage dream come true. This Wednesday I am road-tripping to Vegas, camping out, and seeing Beck in concert. I will document the adventure well. 

It literally took me ten minutes to settle on this photograph by Autumn de Wilde. Definitely one of my favorites.

Generation: Indecisive

Take a step back

look a little bit deeper in the recesses of your mind;

calico carpets/ stalactites/ spider webs/ sunglasses/ needle and thread/ marching band/ scuffed shoes/ soft grass/ droplets/ D A I S I E S

Breathe.

this is the way the world will end.

Ain't it pretty, freckle-face?

Love,
Lexi

Meanwhile in Bordeaux, France...

Beck art print on the wall of French journalist, Pierrick Falmon.

Guess who's illustrating his graphic novel?

PS: Blog remodel coming soon.

I'd rather know the nothing I know

Than to feel the guilt about "somethings".

Maow.

I don't like cats. Trust me. I don't like them at all. These were some quick little paintings I did for my stepsisters for Christmas.
