Eternal Sunshine of the Spotless Mind.

I saw a Wolf Parade lyric, instantly came here and followed. Now I am in love with your work and in turn in internet love with you.

Why thank you my dear Sweaterneck! I’m flattered to have captured your affections via the internet. Everybody knows that’s how all the best love stories start. I’ll have to do a few more Wolf Parade inspired pieces to celebrate. Thanks again!

A portrait of my lovely friend Sophie who has just returned from a 2 year adventure across the seas. Not only is her hair the envy of everyone in town, but her razor sharp wit has been the ungraceful demise of many a male ego.

A portrait of my pal Trav.

Have you ever wondered what it would have been like it Picasso and Frida Kahlo had a love child? Then Frida drank through her entire pregnancy creating a damaged vunderkind painter child from the dark side of the moon?

Well the child exists and his name is Travis Mclellan.

My birthday is Tuesday the 7th of May and considering that is the day I was born, that’s technically when my new year starts. To celebrate I’m starting a personal project!! One self portrait every week until my next birthday.

I’ve never sat down and consciously drawn a self portrait, I might have dipped my toe into the cold little pond but I never jumped the whole way in, so I think this will be a great weekly challenge.

Each Tuesday I will upload one self portrait, and one written expression of that week.
The goal is to visually represent a year of my life through these portraits and hide little narratives throughout. On my following birthday I will have a whole year of visuals to examine and decipher, because as old Socrates says ”The unexamined life is not worth living”.

Let the countdown begin!

An Illustration I did for Spook Magazine’s online interview with one half of Tegan and Sara.

Tegan says: “ It’s so funny because when Sara sent me this song, she co-wrote it with Jack from Fun, it just sounded like early Madonna to me, especially in the bridge. And to me, it’s such a weird song because it feels like such a party, but then when you start to listen to the lyrics it’s easily by far the darkest, most depressing song on the record. But when we were in the studio every time we would get to the breakdown between the chorus and the second verse, the producer Justin would make a shotgun sound, because it’s such a stalker song. We were like “Sara’s stalking someone outside their window” [laughs].”

Alexis says: “I just loved Tegan’s summary of the song being that of a creepy stalker tune cleverly disguised as a Madonna hit! Not since The Police released ‘Every Breath You Take’ has a stalker song been smuggled so flawlessly onto an album. My concept was derived almost entirely from this sentiment and my interpretation of the lyrics. The narrative I wanted to create was of a person, post relationship, who is struggling to let go. As the chorus kicks in we discover that this has turned into a rather crippling obsession, resulting in the stock piling of memories or any remaining possession that can link this person to their past. But then again, who doesn’t have a bubble gum statue of their ex in their closet, right? ….Right?”

Whoops, The link on my last post didn’t work! So at risk of smothering you all like a girlfriend with just to much love to give here it is again….

Hey pals,

Over the past couple weeks I’ve been working on some new Illustrated brooches to adorn your shirts, coats, and totes.

From Tiny Terrariums to Pinocchio Whales, each one is illustrated by hand meaning no two are alike and everyone gets an original.
For $10 a pop I’d say that’s a pretty sweet deal.

You can check them out here - www.etsy.com/shop/AlexisWinter
