two weekends ago i hung out in a little place called Brooklyn Heights!
Here are some pics of the Flea Market under the Brooklyn Bridge in Dumbo!
The weather was epic, 60’s and sunny!
I got a totally sick pin made from bakelite 
and a card for my man! 
After leaving the flea, we happened upon a little Doggie Costume Contest!!!!
My fav was the French Bulldog Mummy 
i want one!
ok, stay tuned for the Halloween post…

DiNO
sorry for the absence lately! I (vicki) have recently been afflicted with a creative bug, not to mention a love bug :p
here are some things i’ve churned out
Front/Back
I made this card for my mom! she turned 60, most gracefully I must say.
We also served her favorite, High tea!
[L-R: ma, soon-to-be sis in law, bro, me, sis, pops]… we were definitely looking at like 3 diff cams at once…
Been painting…
LOOOOK WHAT I GOT!!!! yeah, kinda silly… but… it’s mix tape mania all up in my spot! wuuuut!
oh yeah, and these too
first mix tape is a love mix… haha, so corny! love it!
As for miss rorz, she’s been hella busy workin her bum off, both at work and the gym! and from what i’ve heard she’s been catchin up with some of her old cronies. that lady better update soon [hint hint] I can’t be the only one running this blog!
this is for you Pony! 
the last bit of v-mite! waaaah
Another day off and I found myself walking north on Bowery from Broome. Bowery is a bit sketchy at night but the sidewalks are bustling with people cleaning used industrial kitchen appliances during the day…
I walked passed 190 Bowery, at the corner of Spring , a seemingly abandoned building, covered in graffiti, which I had wondered about from time to time. Finally decided to make a little memo of the address so that i could do a little investigating once I got home.
What i found is that photographer, Jay Maisel lives there with his wife and daughter. It was an old Germania bank designed by architect Robert Maynicke in 1898. The original cost to build was $200,000 and he bought it for $102,000 in 1966… AMAZING. estimated worth today
New York Magazine has an article on it and a pretty sweet slide show too.
Just thought I would share in case any of you were ever wondering the same thing. There are a couple other abandoned spots I am more curious to look into now…
-this abandoned grocery store in Little Italy, the front window is all smashed in but there is a gate and there’s always cold air gushing out
-and this old suit/alterations place at 84 2nd ave and E 5th, on the second floor there’s a ladder and a suit jacket draped in plastic, and the entire downstairs display window has spiderman fabric randomly draped…
another day…
i got hella inspired by Sebastian Wahl yesterday after he randomly invited me in to his gallery showing and i picked his brain about the process and everything for about 15-20 minutes.
Go check out his work, then make sure you click about->process/movie->Mandala film
The video is a few minutes long, but it’s amazing to watch how much work goes into something like this.
anyway, here’s my version:
medium: magazine paper, glue
This is the going away card my roommate, Meagan, and I designed tonight.
the perfect combination of class and charm!
…spin me right round
found this gem
this is for you Pony
words escape me

My latest obsession might be the end of me, or my social life, or both.
FARMVILLE! i luh yew
I think there’s something to be said about planning your fake crop harvesting around when you know you’ll be able get to a computer with internet access next. Maybe also something to be said about harvesting your crops first thing when you get up, even before your morning whizz. Something indeed. My advice to you, if you havn’t started, is don’t.
oh yeah…………………………..

This weekend I took a bus to Virginia to visit my big bro and his fiance.
These are the house warming presents I made for their new town-home.
Got to check out their place and help them paint their master bedroom in preparation for their new furniture…
polar sky.
I see everything in FarmVision
My co-worker’s boy, josh , got this amazing muppet made to look like her for her bday. totally unrehearsed!
So if you were rowing boats in Central Park on this beautiful New York day and could hear a pair of floozies yelling about champagne, lesbian engagements, “the popo”, rowing over ducks and “getting in there all deep like”, it was probably us…
….and we’re not sorry.
Our sweet ride to the Boat House.
“YOU’RE ROWING THE WRONG WAY.”
We swapped…
“This shit is a lot harder than I anticipated.”
Then we broke out the champagne…
We were definitely singing “Kiss the Girl” from The Little Mermaid at this point…
Papping a wedding.
“IT’S LIKE WE ARE IN ‘ONE FINE DAY’.”
“I’m going to take a photo of you pretending to work.”
Then Victor fell asleep…
.. hehehehehe.
Day was topped off with beer and a sweet sunset on yet another boat.
