Creep Machine Featured Artist: Shain Erin

From CreepMachine.com:

Shain Erin
“I am an artist working in a variety of media including painting, digital and sculpture. In recent years I have become preoccupied with the formal/expressive possibilities of the doll as an art form. I am fascinated with the way in which dolls can function simultaneously as contrived objects and as living entities. I draw on a wide range of references including world art, art history, mythology and popular culture to inform and empower my doll sculpture.  I have a Bachelor of Fine Arts Degree from the San Francisco Art Institute and have shown work throughout the US. My doll sculptures are in collections throughout the US, Australia, Canada, England, France, Germany, and Norway.”

Zombieland on Blu-ray, starring.....my 2006 Scion xB!

In case you don't keep up with my exciting life (and you really should, it's awesome), I blogged a long time back about the opportunity I had to be an extra in Zombieland.  Unfortunately I was not a zombie (that would have been too cool) but I did get the chance to run around like a mad woman and watch the whole filming process, which was incredibly neat.  And while I didn't get any screen time, my car sure did!  Below is a screen shot of my car's big break.  I've since traded in that 2006 Scion xB, so I can't get you any autographs (not that she would give any, she was a moody bitch.)  This zombie children scene is at the start of the film when Jesse Eisenberg's character is describing the beginning of the zombie apocalypse.  If the shot had lasted  a tiny bit longer, you would have seen me running in from the left, just behind the guy in the light blue shirt, dressed as a soccer mom.  It's probably best that no ever saw me, because I do not make a good soccer mom.  However, my Scion and her image will live on in perpetuity....
