can you say "fabulous"? i think you can.
she embodies it. and i have got a taste for it.
plus she is one of the coolest people i have met.


a strawberry cake



a fascination with food and prop styling led me to
start experimenting with my props in my 
own illustration work.

i built multiple microcosmic still-life images in 
my studio, lit and photographed them, and then
began to play with the images graphically.

at the new and improved lint museum

the art of little things



my name is sugar. i have been working as a freelance 

award-winning illustrator for many years. i have illustrated

for ad agencies, book publishers, newspapers, magazines,

film companies and the music industry.


i am an avid traveller. a bit of a gypsy, really. 


i have a master's degree in animation and a bachelor degree 

in art history. i put myself through school cooking for swiss 

catering companies and making elaborate treats 

at swiss bakeries. 


i want to find a way to combine all my loves and recently 

unearthed the art of styling. 

it is like it was in front of me the whole time. 

like some kind of fairy-tale.


my aim now is to work with food and prop stylists to learn 

about the aesthetics of arrangement as well as the mechanics

of the business as a whole. 


i'd eventually like fold that knowledge back into my own artwork.

you can see a spark of that at my new site

my new mascot for my new website



everyone loves a pretty mascot
so let's start this out on the right foot

THE LINT MUSEUM 
version 2 is now live.

bubble talk



did you ever start talking
to someone and feel like
it was all bubbles and smoke
to them? did you

ever hear yourself
say something and
wish
it was underwater

did you ever
lay across your bed
and cross your legs
like a school-girl
when talking became
so delightful

you did not know what else
to do

i suppose the thread there
is that the words reaching
someone are rare and
suddenly you become

a mermaid when

finally
understood

watching



i am watching a man on a rooftop
smoking a cigarette looking down
on the world wondering whether
to jump or start a revolution

i am watching a man on a rooftop
who looks like he shouldn't be there
but he likes that it is dangerous and now

i am watching that man look straight across
at me

sometimes i love pizza



sometimes i love pizza more than anything, really
more than nearly being there
or even being here
even

but i've been thinking lately
that everything keeps turning faster
no matter what i do
to slow it down

not even pizza helps

i think could write miles about this
but that would even waste more time

in fact i might marry a slice if i had to

i keep thinking of things i want to marry

and fuck
