We want to wish a HUGE happy birthday to Jackson Pollock, who was born 100 years ago today.

Jackson Pollock was one of the first American artists to achieve a worldwide reputation, and he became an icon of the abstract expressionist movement. He spent his childhood moving between farming communities in Arizona and Southern California. At 18, he moved to New York, where he studied art and painted for the Works Progress Administration. In 1939, Pollock entered psychoanalysis as treatment for his lifelong alcoholism, and his work of this period was heavily influenced by C.G. Jung’s theory of archetypal collective symbols.

During the late 1940s, Pollock developed a groundbreaking abstract painting technique. He laid his large canvases on the floor and moved around them; rather than brushing on his paint, he poured it directly from the can or flung it in drips and spatters with a brush or stick. The resulting “all-over” paintings were an unmediated trace of his physical actions; they also did away with the artistic conventions of illusionistic depth and distinct figure and ground. Within a few years, however, and perhaps in rebellion against his tremendous critical success, Pollock began to re-introduce symbolic figures into his paintings. His life was perpetually marked by self-destructive behavior; he was killed in a car crash at the age of 44.

Anonymous asked: Where do you normally shop? What do you look for in clothing you buy? I really like your style:)

Thank you! That’s very sweet! I’m currently in the process of making a slow transition in my style because A) I’m tired of being mistaken for a high school student and B) I no longer want to spend money on clothing that isn’t of quality. I usually fall for anything with a collar, high waists, oxfords or boots (I’m also searching for the perfect pair of double monks), and I’ve recently gotten over my phobia of wearing pants (I finally found a few pairs that are long enough for my tall girl legs).

Money isn’t really available to me in large amounts, so I usually shop at H&M because of my employee discount. However, a lot of their clothes fall apart easily so I’ve been weary over what I buy from there. I usually do the remainder of my shopping online because I love the internet and don’t have the time to physically shop for clothes!
