Xander Marrow

I came across a fantastic screen printer and quilter, Xander Marrow, by way of the blog for the Paper Boat Boutique & Gallery in Milwaukee. (Faythe Levine, one of the two owners of PBG&B, is the very person shooting Handmade Nation--the upcoming documentary on indie craft across America) Her work is beautiful! The artists that show at PBG&B make me wish I had a way to visit and/or live in Milwaukee (of all places). So basically, I am just reposting all the information that is already on their store blog :)


See?!
Museum of Tiny Things

And apparently everytime she prints an amazing multi-color screenprint poster on paper she makes a couple on fabric to quilt later, or sell individually so that YOU can quilt her posters--awesome!

According to the interview she does performance art and many different mixed media processes; you can read the interview and more about Xander here. I think the most interesting part about seeing such fun fiber work is how I followed an information trail back to where she makes her work, crazy awesome feminist art co-op, DirtPalace!

I want to do their window project so badly! Dirt Palace is sort of a whole other wonderful story, so I'll save that for everyone else to look into. 

living in an old school has its perks

so, I haven't figured out how to put pictures in any kind of logical order... but rather than post about my work, how about some pics of my sweet new apartment? Some of them are kinda crappy and not telling of how fun it is in here:
