Distressing an Asylum Nurse Costume Part 1

Encounters from the Downtown Crossing folks
One thing I really like about vending at downtown crossing is the interesting folks I come across.

I’ll try to get that compiled asap….in between making a crazy costume for each...

Jackie Olivia Art Vomit
I’m totally just putting up as many images as I can find so they are in one cohesive place. It’s kind of annoying me that it’s not in any sort of order… BUT it’s long overdue that I compile something with my work and I have the motivation to sit down right now and dig it all out in one big Jackie Olivia Art vomit. Nom Nom. Cheers! xoxoxo Jackie Olivia

Blog Blog Blog Blog
Hii :) I’m so excited to get this blog going…. I have been compiling images and work notes of the many pieces of art I make and I’m hoping to get them up here asap. I like the idea of being able to talk a little bit more about each pieces, technique, and what I liked or didn’t like about something. Custom Wearable Art… & other oddities?
