Aessthetic Depth, a blog

2011-05-14T11:33:00.000-07:00

This is a recent illustration I made for a blog authored by my dear friend Greg who is being ordained by the Unitarian Universalists this weekend! Congrats! I have been putting this off for a while but the timing is quite appropriate I think. Check out his blog here: http://aestheticdepth.blogspot.com/

here are some images of a very late delivery of a mix cd i recently made and sent out as part of a cd exchange. it's painted/drawn on some scrap paper-source paper, scored and folded and hand-stitched to make a flap. i hope they like it!

john jager is getting married and all thanks to me!!! no that's not true, a very talented book binder did most of the hard work but by combining our powers of awesome we were able to swindle the unsuspecting Lauren into agreeing to never have kisses with anyone but john for as long as they both shall live and all that jazz. anyway, yay for john and lauren!

here is a little more info about the book maker and process:

more pictures will be added as i find the time to do so, unless they are already posted then this sentence only makes sense in the past or with time travel.

as it turns out i cannot put them all on this post! this is a lot of them but to see everything please go to my flickr.

what does a ghost drink?

hello october my old friend. this is the time of year it occurs to me that i know how to knit and i make a zillion mismatched pairs of arm warmers. today i hallucinated the smell of carmel apples, it seems someone got flavored coffee for the office again.

also, don't forget to come to this show i'm in. it was pretty hard cause i'm no good at origami and a recent exact-o knife mishap made me nervous doing this.

The Inspired Art Project enlists local artists to create and donate original works, inspired by original poetry written by the youth of America SCORES Chicago’s after school program.

Artwork will be displayed alongside the original poem and auctioned at the Inspired Art Show on October 1st, 2009. Proceeds from the Inspired Art Auction will directly benefit SCORES, providing free, creative writing and soccer after-school programming to students on the West Side.

this is something joey D and yers truly doodled while on vacation. it's our favorite collaboration so far and the second one with a creepy baby. i guess i like doodling creepy babies.

also, make sure you check out this webby of arts by my friend michael paul lopez, it's really swell.

just got back from a week in europe with joeyD. we mostly stayed in holland but made a special trip to belgium to get waffles. i think i forgot how to paint while i was gone but here's another piece from the tetralogy show... i think there's more but maybe i forgot to remember to scan them, oops. trip photos are up on my flickr, i think the link is at the bottom of this page.

check out the link below to view some amazing videos that Surachai shot and the time lapse Francis made, documenting the 4 days it took us to install the show. my favorite parts are where i am eating pizza and laying on the ground while everyone else works really hard.

we are movie stars!

2008-09-22T08:33:00.000-07:00

this show is probably the one thing i've been most looking forward to all summer, prolly more even than my new bicycle, and at long last it's ready to hatch. it is really going to be special, really really special.

Snoozing and Losing or I Have a Blog Now

2008-09-15T09:16:00.000-07:00

once upon a time, on the 22 of july emilycunningham.com reached the inevitable end of it's 3 year contract with yours truly who was unawares due to notices being sent to an email address no longer being utilised. on the fateful day of sept 4th someone took notice and scooped it up. 4 days later i figured it out. it is my only hope that whoever currently owns emilycunningham.com treats it well and appreciates it like i forgot to do. i suppose if it's meant to be, it will come back. *sigh*

that said, please join me as i begin this new adventure of making internets via blog. i'd also like to apologize in advance for my blatant disregard for grammar and proper sentence structure, i was out sick the day they taught that in school.

truly yours,
emily
