day 120

gouache on toy pig, appx. 4 inches long.

Meat Sections, now in 3D!

I picked up the plain farm toy at Cliff's Variety in the castro. Painted it a little pinker and added the butchery diagram. I kind of love it.

I'll be selling some MEAT SECTIONS (and other) wares at Indie Mart in SF on June 6th. There will definitely be a very nice selection of 3D pig butchery models there for you to take home and love.

original watercolor and ink illustration of lamb butchery

5x5 print available HERE

fat lamb.

oh, and "not ribs" is really the shoulder. i mention this in case of the off chance that you are using this chart to butcher a lamb, and you get to that part and you're like , "Hey! Where are the ribs? I was promised ribs! This is just tender delicious meat! What's that meat sections gal trying to pull?"

Consider yourself informed.

So on my trip to NYC I visited MOMA, where there was a Picasso exhibit featuring his printing, rather than paintings. I'd seen his famed series of bull abstractions before in print, but it was inspiring to see them in person.

And that folks, is the inspiration for this next series of meat sections.

day 100 (!!!!!!)

Original watercolor and ink illustration

Domokun's friend Hungry Bear apparently can be ferocious. But is often too hungry to attack.

Day 100 of MEAT SECTIONS!!!!

Day 99

Mario is May's batty son. He thinks he is Domokun's brother. But, he is not.

Day 98

Maya is the mama bat who lives in Mr. Usajii's cave. Apparently she did something embarrassing while young and drunk. So she now hates alcohol.

Day 97

Next in Domokun's circle of pals is Mr. Usajii, Domo's older gentleman rabbit friend. Domo lives in Mr. Usajii's cave. Loves green tea. Kind of a luddite.

Day 96

Back with a vengeance.

Welcome to Tashanna, Domokun's weasel gal companion. Apparently hates sea urchin and can't win an auction. Her weasel-y accent means she ends all sentences with "-y"

more meat than you can handle

MEAT SECTIONS is still very alive and well. Further sectioning research was required and we'll be back to meaty goodness starting on Monday. And there will be backsies. Oh yes, there will be backsies.*





*As in, I'll be making up for the lost days with double and triple posts! oh my.

Day 95

Original watercolor illustration

Yes, a domokun butchery chart.

I can't really think of a reason why someone would ever eat Domokun. But if you needed to, this is what you might find inside. The domo-belly is particularly delicious.

Day 87

No meat here, in the final day of MEAT[ball] SECTIONS week.

Falafel!

Pretty much the best vegetarian food, in my opinion. My favorites include fava beans in the mix. I really fell hard for these babies when my parents were living in the Netherlands. There all the falafel shops offered tons of salads and sauces to top off your falafel.
