NU poster project aka the never ending project

NU revisited

This is my secret life as a coed cheerleader revealed. Before I went to mass art I spent two years at Northeastern University in the athletic training department. Lets just say I really went to NU to cheerlead weird huh? Lindsey a cheerleader yeah well it's my alter personality. So I am doing this drinking awareness project with NU were I am illustrating posters that depict situations where and why students drink.

Situations about being drunk. This project has lasted the past two years and has been nothing but a head ach but since I have nothing else going on I decided to re-work my drawings for them again and when I say again I mean like the 4th time. So this batch of drawings had to do with their target student which as they put it are white athletes.

Well it is sort of funny because I cheered for NU for two years and we had our fun times as a team but not one of us ever drank a lot or regularly and we weren't even on scholarships. So I was looking through my pics to find models to draw from and I came across this pic. It is from Daytona beach 6 years ago. It is crazy to look back and see from far I have come to far off track I got haha. But anyways I thought I would share. Oh and I am also done moving and will be starting my monster stuff again.

Leaving...for now

I rented out my condo and now I am in the process of moving everything out.... I is taking me forever.. and ever!!! This is it half way done. I think I might have to go through my stuff and start living a little lighter. But by the end of next month aka july I plan to have a solid model and really buckle down on the begining of my brand and its DNA. Thanks to Dominic I can actual do that and I am very excited so till then.

Trying to get back on track

The start

This is just a starting point and I know there are going to be a lot of models before I decide on the first one but I have some serious free time this week so I think I might just bang out a few before I move back to mhead for good and look for a part time job. But anyways it is scary outside lighting and thunder so I think I am going to pop some PM's and pass out before I freak out....this is the worst thing about living alone night time storms.

Taking a break from the real world


This is what I have been doing for the past week....nothing. So I told you last week I was attending P's ballet so here are some funny pictures from that. Ummm.. other then that I have been moving stuff slowly back to Marblehead and trying to readjust to life back home and it has been really tough. Since I moved into Boston I swore I would never move back north and now that I am, I feel like a failure and on top of that I am moving home with out a job and or a plan. This past weekend has also showed me how life can be very enjoyable and at the same time really ugly and unfair. I was a difficult weekend and I discovered just how important family, friends and relationships are. On that note I forecast these next couple of weeks are going to be a roller coaster and knowing that I am going to not focus on what I don't have but what I do have and take it a bit slower. But I am still very motivated and I have found two manufactures in china that sound like a good fit for my vinyl stuff. So the plan for this week is to relax and go to the beach with the girls, catch up with mom, go out to dinner and tell Rachael Shepard I LOVE YOU !!!!! and oh of coarse more monsters haha..

At the beach with the Princess

This is P from the day we went to the beach and looked for hermit crabs.

Big choices made easy

It was way to hot to be in Boston. So I went home on Sunday and have been there ever since. I still can't find a Design job and skipped out on yet another waitressing job interview. Life after school is not at all what I expected..I am happy I am out and can start my life and at the same time I have no clue where or how to start. I don't want to work at a place I am going to be unhappy at but at the same time I need a job but that doesn't really matter when nobody is calling back. So this weekend I really had to descide what is best for moose and I. So I went home to Marblehead to figure it out.

Marblehead is like paradise to those who didn't grow up there. It is small, on the ocean,has tons of character and very sheltered. So when I go home I never have anything to do but this time I went back thinking that maybe it isn't so bad. On monday I got to work all day with my dad, we launched 4 boats and I got a tan. On tuesday I got to hang out with Peighton aka Princess P. P is my best friends daughter, she is three years old and is a force to be reckoned with. When I was home we got to go dinner, the mall and hermit crab hunting. I love P and since Kim her mom is expecting another I think I might steal her. HA just kidding but the point is she makes going home a new adventure every time. For that reason and many others I have decided to rent out my place and move home until I figure it all out. I am also going to sell my car if anyone is looking! I think this move will help me develop my hornygorts as well, I will have unlimited room and can get a part time job in the mean time. I promise to put up pics of Mhead up soon.. I left my camera in P's beach bag but I am lucky enough to go to her ballet show on saturday so I will get it then. Well thats all for now if anyone needs I place to live call me.

I am on Esty!

This is Goob and he just posted on Esty@ Lindzshep

You can find more of his friends if you go on and they are tagged under toys and monsters. I can't believe how long everything takes when you make stuff I don't think I am a real fan, plus I feel I little young to be sewing at home but what ever I get to hang out with me really creepy creations.


Round two Girls night out!!

Ok so I have 8 Horny Gorts so far and I set up an etsy account just to see if it works but I haven't put them up yet.. I am having a hard time letting them go:( I spend like 2 hours at least a piece on them and they come to life in my hands and now I have to say good bye? I am not crazy I swear I have always had this thing where I humanize the weirdest little thing like bugs and objects. But I know I have to because my goal is to spread the joy I put into my monsters so.. I will put them up on Esty at some point this weekend. I also started sculpting the vinyl toy but it is a lot harder when I actual have to pay attention to undercuts and pulls.

Tonight GIRLS NIGHT OUT ROUND 2 ..... haha watch out!

My business Partner

Oh by the way this is Moose, he is my partner in crime and tonight he is sporting my old Celtic's uniform for the game tonight.

Welcome to Prescott industries HEAD QUARTERS aka my front enterance.

OK not many people have ever stepped foot through my door, in fact I could probably count the number that has on both hands. So I though I would give you a look into where all the monsters are born. Its clean in the first pic and it presently looks like that in the last too. I hate clutter and right now it looks like rainbow bright threw-up all over my walls. It is a small room VERY small but I really don't mind I am lucking enough to have a space.



So...I have this really bad habit. I told you I was going to get a waitressing job what I didn't tell you is that waitressing SUCKS! But back to my bad habit. OK I do this thing where I work my self up to go apply ..application and all I even go and park....I walk by and then...I run away 90% of the time I never make it through the door. So I didn't make it through the door today again. But I did make some more Horny Gourts and tonight I am going to start sculpting the first toy I am going to send out to get roto-casted.



thats it not much progress ..
