About Me

I'm quirky.

Progressive Progeny v 1.0 of the Ongelungel Art Dynasty. My father is a professional fine artist and I started my career working for him as an assistant. Eventually, my sister took over being his personal assistant and I moved on to public relations and art dealer/agent.

For a living: I have worked as a graphic designer/promoter since 1997 and as a website designer since 2001. Additionally, I make various kinds of art-- mainly with recycled/repurposed materials.

For fun: I continue to make various kinds of art, mainly with recycled/repurposed materials.

I'm a snarky, 20something, daughter-of-a-fine-artist, lowbrow/pop-art-enthusiast, Pacific-Islander chick living in the Pacific Northwest.

Message me if you're in the mood for an artist-to-artist swap. I provided a link to my Flickr account, so you can go take a look at what's available for swapping.

*** I also provided a link to items I've made for current swaps. If you don't want to know what I'm making you, please don't click on the link. ***

Favorite Music

There's no genre that I'm unwilling to listen to, and my iTunes seems to reflect a sort of zany eclectic taste in music.

My passion, however, is for good chill reggae and Island-style music. I'm all about the irie vibes!

Favorite Books

I love books. I hoard books. I ran out of space for more books ages ago, but it doesn't stop me from buying more!

A few faves worth mentioning:

  • The Unbearable Lightness of Being (Milan Kundera)
  • The Lone Ranger and Tonto Fistfight in Heaven (Sherman Alexie)
  • anything written by David Sedaris

Favorite Movies

While I hae an extensive list of cinematic favorites, here are a few choices worth noting:

  • Documentaries of all sorts
  • Madagascar -- both of them
  • Monsters Inc.
  • Once Were Warriors
  • Whale Rider
  • Samurai Fiction
  • Suicide Club
  • Noriko's Dinner Table

Favorite Television

I don't watch nearly as much television as I could... But when I do, here are a few of the faves:

  • anything on Adult Swim that isn't anime
  • most anything on Nickalodeon
  • most anything on Food Network
  • most anything on History Channel
  • most anything on Travel Channel

Favorite Crafts

I have no UNfavorite crafts. I'll try damn near anything, so long as it isn't prohibitively expensive.

Stuff You SHOULD NOT Send Me

  • Clowns and anything clown-related
  • Anything deemed "scary and doll-like"
  • Anything that could be misconstrued as an act of proselytizing
  • Styrofoam and things packed with styrofoam. It's not environmentally-friendly and the noise is worse than nails on a chalkboard!
  • Plastic beads
  • Dollar store candles and variations thereof
  • Things that smell heavily of flowers (allergies...)
  • Holiday novelties (unless that's the point of the swap...)

Stuff You SHOULD Send Me

Honestly, I'm happy with anything that's not on my "SHOULD NOT" list.

I'm not picky about colors, so long as they go well together. Brights, neutrals, tie-dyed, plaid... It's all good!

Stuff I really love includes, but is not limited to:

  • Rasta-themed items
  • Stuff with monkeys on/in it
  • Hilarious Hilarity (a/k/a things displaying a wickedly snarky sense of humor)
  • Hippie/Bohemian-themed items
  • Jersey knit fabric in quirky prints
  • Hoodies
  • Dreadlock accessories (I have small, pencil-thin dreads)
  • Tropical-themed items
  • Citrus scents
  • Nag Champa incense
  • Black Jasmine tea
  • Non-Christian religious iconography
  • Blank ATC cards
  • Recycled/repurposed art
  • Yarn of all kinds
  • Batik fabrics
  • Tivaevae-style textile art
  • Things of a modern-day revolutionary nature
  • Indigenous/traditional tribal/folk art, with a special interest in the Pacific Rim
  • Tattoo-themed items
  • Moda-like scrap bags
  • non-Americana jelly rolls/charm packs/layer cakes (the quirkier, the better!)

If you have questions about whether I'd like something, just ask! But seriously, if it's not on my "SHOULD NOT" list, you're good to go!

Awesome. I'm looking forward to this swap. I'll pick up the chocolate next week, and have it ready to send a.s.a.p. I should be able to send it earlier than 3rd September, but I know I've got the ££ to send it that day at the very very latest.

tweeandbiscuits on Aug 22, 2009:

Hiya!

That sounds awesome (re swapping candies), if you wanna set up a swap with a sendby of 3rd September I can definately send, say a 200g bar of Dairy Milk bubbly and a few yorkie bars?
