Runner Diaries: Thrifting

 My hometown has recently upgraded to a super thrift store. This place is huge— back in the day it was our grocery store. I popped in to see what I could find, and ended up staying way too long. I found loads of great stuff for my sets and puppets.

Uhhh, who knew there would be crazy long line? Guess I'm not the only one on a budget.

Killer fabrics! I'm hoping to use the blouse on the far left as a coral texture.

After a series of fantastic and vivid dreams, I started keeping a sketchbook next to my bed to help me better remember these ideas. It paid off! While interning in LA, I had a dream about a goddess that separates the earth and sinks slowly to the bottom of the ocean where she encounters a series of interesting creatures.
