cookie-cutter houses

i'm terrified of the suburbs. but there is something hauntingly beautiful about them. my best friend lives up in one of the bigger ones, and i took pictures at his house the other day. a bunch of us were frolicking around, and we noticed the sunset over suburbia. beautiful. here's some pictures.

and finally, a suburban panorama. i liked this one when i took it, but even more when i cropped it into panorama.

bird in a cage on a wall

finally finished my wall mural yesterday! a friend of mine helped me draw and paint it. i think we were both surprised and excited about how it turned out - three different styles seem to mesh into one. the cage is kind of watercolour-y, while the buildings seem very cartoonish and the foliage is very sketch-like. kind of surreal, put together. here's a picture! (yes, my walls are very green.)
