Done with semester! Woohoo. Just updated my site and uploaded all my videos to Vimeo!

I have returned from France with Superman in my suitcase and hundreds of new photos. Tatiana and PE’s wedding was a BLAST!  Afterwords, Kate and I had an amazing time in Paris and at a lovely chateau outside the city. Can I please go back right now? The travel bug in me has grown even more from this trip. I am now determined to travel the world as much as possible over the next few years. Any tips on travel grant writing?  Please send them my way!

Here’s the invite I designed for my friend Tatiana‘s wedding! I am about to head to Normandy to celebrate the event! She wanted the invite to represent NY (where she grew up), Russia (where her family is from) and France (where Pierre is from). The Snack Mountain approach could only involve food, right? I made the borscht myself and it was so delicious! Thanks to Lauren F for her help! Au reviour mes amis!

ok so im not allowed to buy things right now cuz im moving in two weeks but i first saw mickey and thought “my collection does not contain an authentic mickey” so i somehow rationalized buying him. then, i saw the dough boy which i was forced to buy because i have a dough girl and why not reunite them since they are meant for each other. but then it turns out that he and mickey fell  in love and happen to be star crossed lovers. who knew? they do look good together, right?

i’ve been taking lots of pictures lately. my canon G10 camera is the best camera ever! soon i plan on redoing the site and uploading all the work i did this past semester. good times! xoxo L

Hello world! So I survived my first year of grad school! Oh hooray! What a crazy year its been. I have so much new work I’ve made and I am also planning to redo the site this summer along with many new projects! The easiest thing to share is this trailer for an upcoming animation I hope to make one day. My inspiration for the trailer was from the movie, The Deadly Mantis, which I hope to see very soon.

More updates soon I hope! Lauren

It’s so funny. This morning I put on my peanut necklace from Hullabaloo only to later find this article all about Jimmy Carter’s hometown. The article has a great slide show of pictures including the one above which is very reminiscent of Amy Sedaris. The necklace (shown below) is also Jimmy Carter related and was used as election-campaign goods:

This photo from the NYtimes slideshow is kinda freaky but is basically a statue version of this necklace! Why the peanut with a mouth and no eyes? It’s so bizarre….If I was a small child, I think it would maybe give me nightmares.

Until next time, shop at Hullabaloo! They rock! xoxox Lauren

ok so this morning i attempted to make pizza from scratch for the first time ever. well, the dough from scratch was new for me…anyhoo, i ended up burning it to a crisp cuz my timer was not working so i scooped out the center part and had what steve martin coined in “The Jerk” as PIZZA IN A CUP! it was as good as I always imagined it out be.

Right now I’m working on my php/programming assignment. So exciting to be learning more about making websites! I will have more fun updates to share soon! Yeah! xoxo Lauren

Last week I was upstate in Greenwich, NY for xmas with Rob’s family. Here are some fun pics. Happy new year! xoxo Lauren

Happy Holidays! xoxo Lauren
