the second to last stage of my painting studio set up is nearly complete..this step was inspired by my new unit-this amazing dentist cabinet that was waiting for me at junk the other day (months ago actually). i have organized all my pens, sharpies, pastels, scissors, colored pencils, stencils, tape, india ink--basically a wide range of painting jazz in one perfectly proportioned unit!

+by the by the collection/consumption project installation is getting pretty intense.
