Dear Friends,
If you subscribe to truth then I highly recommend you watch this flim. However, it's not for the faint of heart. It will be very painful, but hopefully it will enlighten or inspire you to make some changes if you so feel it is necessary. This is all to say the least.

Not sure why, but all my photos are turning up quite a bit brighter on here than normal. So I guess just keep that in mind. sooorry.
So I am finally getting down to my final photo selection for my show at the end of the semester. We put it up in one month from now, which is suuuper scary and exciting! I have so much to do still for framing and what not. I am going to be making all my frames. 17x22 size photos in white "floater frames". It will look quite nice I think. I still need to narrow the selection from these here, but here is what I have to choose from! So if you would like to comment and let me know which are your favorites and any feedback would be dandy! and help me out a lot ya diggg. and thank you Omar for constructing that beautiful video to get the ball rollin on comments. much appreciated. :)

I forgot some of ya'll don't have facebook, so here's a few pictures I took while camping last week. My brother, Kelly Hahn, Chris Linton and I traveled to a campsite 40 miles behind Ojai. There was nobody there and all we did was drink Firestone day in and day out, tromp along the riverbeds and ridges, and shoot my brothers new Glock 45 at rocks. Hoooo Weeee Skooby Doo!








Omar's post. I agree. Enable commenting. I tried and failed. Here's a cool art concept. Maybe we should do a batch of our own to replicate in a few years!

gigs and hospital visits





Here are some more photos from our thursday gig... Shaun, our drummer, was in excruciating pain- thought he was going to faint... had to take vicoden... or however you spell that... Anyway, took him to the doctor the next day and it turned out he had five cysts in his lower back. Nurse grabs me from the waiting room and takes me INTO the f***ing surgery room where I find myself staring down at a gaping hole in Shaun's back, and then she has to teach me how to pack gauze in it. Nearly fainted... Truthfully supremely astounded that I didn't faint- actually went completely fuzzy at one point, but I could still hear what was going on around me... managed to keep it together and get the hell out of the hospital without letting shaun know how gnarly the procedure was. The photo of us playing up there, where I appear to be looking up at the ceiling like a doofus, we actually happened across- Some photographer featured us on their portfolio site, pretty cool- that was our tuesday gig. On thursday I got to play a baby grand in a packed art gallery. Oober rad. And the fat rumply bundle of pug-love over there was hanging out in the gallery. He hates soundcheck, and growls while people make pointless noise, but play a cohesive melody and the little fucker goes right to sleep.
Also felt it would be interesting to include a picture of shauny hopped up on V's. Hahahaha look at his eyes. So funny. He played very well considering.
Finally, the picture of the picture of cats was in the waiting room at the lab where we took the doom cysts in for testing... took the picture mostly to keep from passing out, but also because I thought it was hilarious. Hope it makes you smile.
Two posts in one week. I'm getting crazy up in here!
All my love,
Inesita

This is how...

For those of you boy babies and girl babies who have not yet purchased the new James Blake album, I highly suggest it, if you want to get naked and listen to some hipstamatic grooves.

This one in particular, "I Mind", is for you, Juicy Juice Box, as it reminds me of Me'shell Ndegeocello's, "Love Song #1". So here is something to add to
your sexy, coco vibes playlist.

Februuuuuary Moms and Dads!





Hello Moms and Dads! Another month gone, so I figure it's about time to drop some photos and update you all on the happenings of my insignificant life. Hehe.

I'm playing tons of music up here with the folk band, and I also joined a rock group now that I co front playing piano and singing called the lawlands, and that's fun- I haven't had much time for it yet, but I'm hoping post record that I'll be able to make it a bigger priority. We did a silly photo shoot in which I look funny in every photo because I'm so awkward in front of cameras. What can you do? What would Jesus do? No one will ever know.

Apart from that I'm just getting ready to drive up to Canadialand and envelope myself in my favorite form of expression. Yay! I can't wait. Joby and I have decided to document the shit out of the record because he wants to make himself a spiffy site featuring the artists he works with, and I feel super blessed to be among the first- possibly the first because I don't think he's started it yet. I'm also going to create a personal blog and I'll post the link up here.

Here are some pics of what I've been up to... the first is my most recent game night... Those are some of my good pals/bandmates and we have a game night club, which is really dorky, but pretty much the coolest thing I participate in, haha. I'm actually the organizer, wouldn'tcha know it? But now the others have started offering to host it at their house because it's getting too big for my apartment... That was a very intense moment in jenga, and the person up to bat is named... GET THIS... Ben Kilmer. And yes my friends, he is related to Val!!!

The second is a painting I've been working on... it's actually further along than it is in this photo by a lot, but I added a curtain that I hate, so I think this photo is better. It was going to be a gift for Joby but since I ruined it I think I'm going to paint him something else. I've learned how to stretch canvas on a frame and prime it myself. Look out world! So now I can do really big paintings all the time, which makes my little heart happy.

The third is our most beloved Hay Bales doing the tango on my living room couch. It's my personal fave, and I've had it blown up to giant size and hung over the windows in my house. Creepy, yes. Awesome, even more so. Isn't she adorable with a thorny rose cutting up her gums? hahaha I love you Hayley. Obsessed. Seer. Like breast milk ice cream obsessed.

And finally the last picture is the Mark David Ashworth playing this past tuesday at Hotel Utah Saloon. It was a great show even though the sound guy is a total chump-stew, and we're playing again tonight at an art gallery in the city. Woot!

Love you and miss you all dearly, and plan to have your spirit carried with me into the North lands.

The Northern Lights Are On, my friends.

All my love,

My senior year art show inivitation/card

So I was assigned to put together the card for our art show at the end of this year for the art majors who are graduating this year. There are only 6 of us and I am still questioning the thoughts of some, haha but regardless we seriously have a great and VERY talented group of people this year so I am so excited for the show to finally arrive!

No Mames!


Well this is certainly a new flavor.

The London shop "Icecreamists" is taking dessert to the extreme. This time, it's breast milk ice cream.

Human breast milk might not sound delicious, but the "treat" will go on sale Friday, according to BBC, and it won't come cheap.

Reuters reports:Icecreamists founder Matt O'Connor was confident his take on the "miracle of motherhood" and priced at a hefty 14 pounds ($23) a serving will go down a treat with the paying public.The breast milk was provided by mothers who answered an advertisement on online mothers' forum Mumsnet.

The restaurant, located in Covent Garden in London, will be serving the home-brewed dessert under the name "Baby Gaga." It's created by mixing the milk with Madagascan vanilla pods and lemon zest and churning into ice cream.

A total of 15 women donated milk for the dish. "What could be more natural than fresh, free-range mother's milk in an ice cream? And for me it's a recession beater too -- what's the harm in using my assets for a bit of extra cash," Victoria Hiley, one of the mothers who donated, said in a statement.

UPDATE: While some have questioned whether or not the ice cream endangers public health, it must be noted that all donors (including Ms. Hiley) have been screened for communicable diseases before they donate.
