it's been a busy couple weeks.

i'm not even sure i remember what i was doing before my vacation but it must have been something. hopefully it was fun.


vacation itself was definitely fun. i went out to san francisco to visit ^quietchildae, ^Katerina423, and `arachnid15. in the process i also had the pleasure of spending time with *RestemaIII and =NevaehLleh. all of the above are awesome folk. i kind of ping ponged between the spiderkat compound and ^quietchildae's. my first saturday we wandered around emeryville and then did an impromptu nude shoot of the ladies at baker beach. i'll post a few things from that shortly. i was kind of too cold to care about getting good shots but i managed to swing a couple anyway. *RestemaIII definitely got some good stuff.




the next week consisted of plenty of booze flowing, conversation, and hanging out with the above crew. i met =KickStart011 before he left for his australia trip at some point in there. sampled some mexican to compare the coasts, went to in n out of course, etc.


the second weekend i was there, ^quietchildae, *RestemaIII, and myself hit the road to head to long beach for the halloween-ish open house at ^wynnesome's, which was all kinds of fun. that night we stayed at the ^Battledress compound. saturday after we got up, ^Battledress did me up all purdy and threw this crazy ass looking wig on me. via the wonders of lighting it ended up working out in an unsilly way and *RestemaIII and ^Battledress got me to portray a countess de winter inspired character, femme fatale, but all tattooed and the like.



afterwards, i stripped some of the drama off the makeup (but not too much ;) ) and changed and we headed back to ^wynnesome's so she could shoot my tattoos and corset (so i have some awesome shots to advertise the corsets i make).


this shoot involved a lot of stuffing my tits back into the corset. a posed outtake is still an outtake, right?


we went through with a little posing 101 tips from ^quietchildae and ^wynnesome while the latter shot away and got me some amazing shots (some of which will be posted shortly, others of which will be used on my etsy listing). she threw in some headshots at the end i'm really happy with as well, and then we did a moody dark shoot of my peacock sleeve and side piece in a torn tank top.



the results, again, are awesome.

^quietchildae convinced me to sign up on modelmayhem so i did that and was approved, and now i'm booking some shoots in a similar vein. i may have one sunday. yay for the confidence boost, guys :)


i returned from california to find my home state damp and cold. ew. but spent some much needed time with my boyfriend and then headed to delaware on saturday for halloween. that was kind of nuts...we went to a gamer-laden halloween party that was...awkward at best. i wore my gas mask and used the canteen tube to drink my rum and cokes. that was the shit. but i was followed around by at least one super awkward gamer kid who thought i was a raver because i own a gas mask.

please note that i never have been nor ever will be a "raver chick." can't a girl just be prepared haha


but did i say awkward yet? cuz yeah, awkward. he followed me, sat on the arm of the couch i was sitting on, used my tattoos as an excuse to touch me. shudder.


i had fun hiding behind my mask and making my sister translate my mumbles to people though lol

sunday we went to brunch and hung around all for the finale and reason i drove down...a day in the office at work and a meeting. ick.

so i've been up since 7:30 and that's highly odd for me. i dislike it immensely.


but i'm home at least. just the cat and i, chillaxing. freshly showered and unpacked. time to get back in the swing of things (which is to say...back to the usual lull of constant chillin';).

my to do list includes catching up on commissions, listing the corsets and posting shots from baker beach on here, modeling for some photographers i haven't worked with, writing with justin, mike, and the girls, and getting the rest of my shit from my mother's house.

i should probably do laundry too.


i don't know if it comes through in my text-tone but i'm pretty exhausted, emotionally and physically. it's been a great couple weeks and i wish i was in the mental state right now to write about it as enthusiastically as i'd like to, but the truth is that i'm kind of overwhelmed. i always forget that i'm not playing with a full deck when it comes to my health (shush. no comments about my sanity. i prefer not to use deck analogies for my sanity, rather...pick up sticks or something..anyway). and then it catches up to me. and it catches up to me much harder and faster than it does to my other age cohorts. like a ton of fuckin bricks.


zzz.

see?
...also loony off lack of sleep.

which, by the by, is a state of being that lead to some really fun outtakes from the shoot with ^wynnesome hehe.


i'm holding the dangly buffalo horn carved earrings i was wearing before shoving peacock feathers in my 00g lobe piercings


i am the proud owner of this as my profile picture on most of my social sites.



but before i quit this entry, by the time i returned home and settled in ^Katerina423 was back on the CR team as general photography GM. i cannot express how happy i am about this! welcome her back :) she's one of the sweetest people i know, and i'm pleased to be able to say now that i do KNOW her, not just chat with her online. :aww:

I go by a.g. watson here on the web and in my art, but some of you know me as Allison, others stick with Watson.

Anyone who knows me will tell you that I don't take myself too seriously, am crude and sarcastic, but that I am also passionate about helping other people to be passionate about something--anything--as long as it motivates you and gets you going. For me, those things are art and music.

I have been a traditional artist since I could hold a pencil, but during high school I began to seriously focus on my photography. My senior year of high school, I was given the pleasant surprise of having been submitted to Shutterbug magazine, a mainstream photography magazine, by one of my teachers. This issue was published in July 2004 as a Student Union one-page spread. This motivated me to pursue photography further, and the following spring I had my first (and only!) cafe show where I had works on sale and displayed for 3 months.

Since then, I have moved onto college and received a B.A. in Liberal Arts with a focus on Arts in Context (photography and cultural anthropology) in May of 2008. I spent a few years in the wonderful New York City where I continue to pursue my art and music and general zest for all things tattoo despite having moved about an hour and a half outside of the city.

I have been involved in deviantART since 2002 and am excited to finally have a chance to give back to the community that has [especially recently] really helped lift my spirits and inspire me to keep on keepin' on, both artistically and personally.

I am the Gallery Moderator for the Fetish Portrait photography gallery, which means I deal with your whips and chains and fun toys like that--but only in the context of portraiture! I have also taken up residence in the Abstract & Surreal photography galleries, so for your questions, concerns, and DDs concerning Fetish, Abstract, and Surreal...come to me! I try to be very accessible, and am constantly checking my email, my dA page, and hanging out on dAmn in multiple chats, most notably the dAmn headquarters for Fetish, Abstract, and Surreal: #thevaginamafia.

I administrate a group account for artists whose work expresses the effects of illness on their lives and gives an opportunity to spread awareness, called #ItDoesNotHaveMe. I can also be found moderating #photographers and #skinART, among a slew of other channels on dAmn.

Cheers!
