where would you most
like to live: tokyo and berlin are really amazing. if i spoke the
language fluently i might go back to either city. i’m learning swedish this fall
and want to visit stockholm soon. i love traveling but i think new york fits me
best.

gymnastics growing up and was completely obsessed with nadia comaneci. her
dedication and skill were really inspiring and impressionable. i still love that

gym with racing stripes, primary colors, and gold medals.

booze

who
(or what) do you love? fast food iconography, keyboards, kure kure
takora, jim houser and julie verhoeven, things that look cute but are actually
really dark or demented, 60s design and fashion, stripes, and cult films like
the forbidden zone or daisies.
who /what are some of your
influences: wallpaper and clothing patterns, vintage children’s books,
teen culture, old punk records and posters, outsider art and obsessive
compulsive drawings, suburbia, artists like aurbrey beardsley, peter max, rita
ackerman, henrik drescher, clayton brothers, andy ward, and margaret
kilgallen.
