from the past

This one is a bit of a blast from the past since I've been working to get most of my sketchbook pages to the DAC Gallery for the show on Sept. 11. There will be somewhere between 50-80 sketches on display which is really weird and exciting for me. They definitely tell an interesting story. There are three large groupings that will be for sale.

Also to mention:
I've made an account with ArtSlant. There are so many networking sites to be a part of these days!

This moleskine sketch is going to become two postcards for a show at the I-5 Gallery dowtown at the Brewery

I must be crazy

From this weekend:
Susie Ghahremani at Giant Robot on Sawtelle:

I loved all the hanging birds and how they cast some amazing shadows. The entire show was put together so well you can see how detail-oriented Susie is. I bought 3 new paintings: one as a gift and 2 more to go with my beloved hummingbird.

Friends United Network (FUN) at Project Gallery



Very cool and interesting show. The installation was fantastic. A large tree was hung from the ceiling and a big shadow was actually painted on the ground of the gallery.

Lab 101

Amy Ruppel. I purchased the 5th from the left (the tall one).


Kathleen Lolley. Pillows were to die for!

Wishing I could have bought more work from all the artists.

If anyone is interested I have been interviewed at T-shirts Around the Internet blog regarding my work and collaboration with Blood is the New Black.

I wanted to post about the show at the LA Municipal Art Gallery from Sunday. I was truly honored to have my work among some amazing art works. I apologize if I'm missing artists' name or link:

This is first-place winning installation by Julie Hughes
