This monkey is relocating to Eugene to finish a degree in Theater Arts and Costume Design. Don’t worry though- you can still get a hold of me pretty easy, so don’t hesitate! You can catch me at Eugene Saturday Market every weekend.

My time at Beloved was truly blessed. I am so grateful for all the people who showed up with their most elevated selves…

I came with the intention to be of service, and that was all I needed. The entire weekend, I found myself completely taken care of!

I brought my little case of goodies, mostly undies and a few pairs of leggings and pants. Did a little trade, made a few sales, and also took the opportunity to give some things away! It felt so good to be generous. Many thanks to those of you that shared yourselves with me and others! Check out the pics on flickr here

Next up, Symbiosis Gathering down near Yosemite in California. I’ll be working with Sew-Op, assisting attendees in crafting their very own costumes from recycled clothes! Sounds exciting, eh? I do hope you’ll check it out, or hit me up later for some fabulous photos.

—Undies update—-

I just fell across 5 more yards of black bamboo fabric and tons of useful scraps! This means more beautiful booty shorts for more beautiful booties! This also means that I get to continue experimenting with different shapes and styles, which is one of my undying pleasures…

Dont’ forget to contact me if you’d like a personal appointment for custom undies, or anything else for that matter!

Love The Monkey

In other news, I’ve decided to steer this monkey-train towards a full-on degree in costuming! Yes indeed, it’s bound to be an adventure. In the meantime, I am still working on the undies thing, trying to get it up on its feet. And the mobile sewing studio on a bike? Coming your way soon!

As usual, if there is something you wanna get me on, dont hesitate to give me a howl, maybe we can work it out!

Lets stay in touch, ok friend?

Back now from the Magical East, trying to catch up to life back here where we speak the English. In case you didn’t hear, I was granted a tremendous opportunity to explore Kyoto for a whole week with three of my best buds: Gabe, Jack, & Aaron. We have been working together on a new project we call S.C.I.E.N.C.E. This trip is our first experiment! And it was awesome! We had incredibly good fortune throughout the journey, and found many treasures along the way, the most valuable being new friends good noodle shops.

Now, back in Portland, we are taking up the mighty task of presenting our work to you in a full-on, bona fide First Thursday art show! This is sure to be an evening of delight and delicious, with costume, photography, painting, illustration, libation, and even some yummy treats, all with an Eastern Flair!

Its at Carole Zoom’s new studio, in the Pearl
