Last weekend I was invited to see Sage Vaughn's show at the Known Gallery in West Hollywood.

You can read about the show on the gallery's website but basically the textiles are based on recent collage work that Sage has been working on. Interesting theme for sure.

The textiles were $300 each and there were 3 of each design. My lucky friend Mitra snagged this one:

I heart

2012-01-15T18:38:00.001-08:00

Inspired by this upcoming Valentine's day I created some heart paintings in watercolor. They are each original, unique and cut straight from my 7x10" archival Arches watercolor block.

This would make an awesome Valentine's day or any occasion gift for a friend, partner or family member and would be adorable framed in a nursery.

the walk

2012-01-08T11:22:00.000-08:00

It's been forever since I've done a post about art shows. I haven't been to any notable art shows/walks in quite sometime. I'd like to say it's just a result of being a busy mom but the truth is that I needed space from the whole scene for a little while.
Last night I dragged my daughter out with me for her first art walk in Culver City and was pleased to find that she loved it. I was happy to see some art in person.

The main event for me was the Esao Andrews and Allison Sommers show at Thinkspace. Here are some of my favs:

Esao Andrews

Allison Sommers (nice reflection)

Detail:

I really love this piece.

I didn't get a good pic of the tiny matchboxes but they were awesome and you can see them along with the rest of the work here.

We happened upon the Koplin Del Rio Gallery and got to see some work by Kenny Harris who I had never heard of but we really liked how he displayed his studies and sketches along with the final work.

And special bonus image of my daughter running around the gallery.

It's nice to be posting again in this space for anyone who is still listening. I toyed with the idea of trashing this blog and starting over but I'm not quite done here. Maybe Tumblr would be a good option? Any thoughts are appreciated.

Here are some photos from the past art shows. How did I manage to pull those off?

Hello out there if anyone is still listening!
Adjusting to being a mommy has been so rewarding but so difficult and time-consuming!
As things get easier (and they do, one week at a time) I'm getting back into my "art life" and hoping to poke around this space a bit more often. There are a few art shows this month that I'm excited to be a part of:

2009-08-20T17:53:00.000-07:00

I can't believe how amazingly tired I am all the time. It's the worst feeling of guilt to know there is so much I could be painting and drawing and doing but all I can do is lay around and fall in and out of consciousness.

I think I'm ready for baby and for fall. One month to go!

Sorry for my absence last week. The baby shower was at my house on Sat. so i was frantically cleaning and organizing all last week. With only 5.5 weeks till baby I'm frantically trying to balance nesting projects with art-related projects and feeling a bit hectic. It doesn't help that I pretty much have to take a nap every day and can't stay awake past 10:30 in the evening. Apparently there's no maternity leave in art.

Whenever I think I'm over drawing hands they creep back into my work.
Life is hectic: Sickness in the family + work + MJ tragedy + no work + new projects. OH yeah and the art project going on in my belly. But ultimately I feel really lucky. Hope everyone has a great holiday!

Sorry for being late again with the moleskine post. Thursdays have become so buys all of a sudden it might be moleskine Fridays for this month until things get back to normal.

Things that are happening:
-lots of new oil paintings on wood panels for future show
-learning to sew and looking into purchasing a sewing machine
-cleaning out the house and putting together the baby's room
-big art project in my belly
-enjoying life

Things that are not happening:
-working for actual money
-staying awake past 11pm

Those two categories never seem to balance out somehow.

Please excuse my tardy moleskine post. Yesterday was hectic as I had my first sewing class in the morning and my first childbirth class in the evening and lots of stuff in between. Any sewing machine recommendations?

Today it's gloriously rainy in LA. I love it.

PS: For those of you in LA I have a piece at the Hive this Sat. and Sticky Lift has a wall at this month's show.

2009-05-28T17:38:00.001-07:00

I want to take this opportunity to announce a collaborative project that I've been working on for a while with Sara Brum of Sticky Lift called "LittleLift". It's a combination of my illustrations and Sara's layering of paint and tape.

This Friday, May 29 LittleLift is having it's debut show at Una Mae's in Los Angeles. Please come out and see the work if you're in the area. If you can't make it the work will be up for a few months so there is time to catch it and Una Mae's is one of my favorite Los Angeles boutiques. WinWin!

Here are some examples of the work.

You can view the entire collection here.

A little sketchbook for your Thursday.

Tomorrow is my birthday and I'm heading north out of LA with with some loved-ones for a much-needed mini-vacation. I hear this is the best time to do that kinda thing since I'm still "comfortably pregnant". This is also my favorite time of year to drive up through some of the beautiful CA countryside and coastline so I'm really excited. I plan on bringing my sketchbook along but I never manage to get as much drawing done as I should. However there will most likely be lots of pictures upon my return.

Unfortunately being gone this weekend I'm missing some interesting shows here in LA such as:

“Wishing Well” from Jennifer Davis + “Pretty TV-Love” from Kristen Schiele + “Magic Hour” from Jill Simonsen at the Cerasoli Gallery

Timothy Karpinski at the POVevolving Gallery

and Jeana Sohn at the Taylor De Cordoba Gallery

If you're in LA check out Sour Harvest or your favorite LA gallery listing resource for other goings-on and let me know how they are!

Have a great weekend!

For those of you interested I just wanted to report that the Ellen DeGeneres show was AMAZING and the whole audience got hooked-up with a TON of really expensive baby stuff. Without going into too much detail some of the highlights were a really expensive stroller, a highly-rated car seat, a crib from target, Dwell bedding, and a washing machine! Lots of other wonderful and helpful supplies. It really saved me since work has been slow and I was wondering how we were gonna pay for some of this stuff. If you plan on getting pregnant I highly recommend making sure you are pregnant during mother's day and applying to be on the show :)

Not art related:
Today is going to be a strange day! I've been invited by a friend to go to the taping of the "baby shower/mother's day" episode of the Ellen DeGeneres show.
I'm definitely an Ellen fan so I'm pretty excited and I understand that there are going to be some cool giveaways. Just had to share!

I hope it's not annoying when I talk about personal stuff like this here but it will be interesting to see how this experience affects my work. I often think about the fact that when the time comes I will have to fight harder for time to make art but I know it will work out...

Sylvia Ji at the Corey Helford Gallery:

I've heard some interesting opinions about the Sylvia Ji show. There seems to be disappointment in the fact that this show resembles her show last year at the same gallery too much. Unfortunately I missed her last show but I have seen the work and I understand the critique. Still pretty neat though. I much prefer the "day of the dead" and masked portraits to the straight-up portraits.

PS
I know I missed posting a moleskine this past Thurs. so there will be a double-dose this week.

2009-03-19T09:16:00.000-07:00

I don't really discuss my personal life too much on this blog as it is really just a place for me to share and discuss images but I feel like somehow it's relevant to divulge the fact that I'm pregnant. I'm only about 13 weeks along and it's been really difficult for me to tell people because I've never been the type of person to make a big deal over things. So here I share this news with you, internet. I don't expect things to change much around here. It will stay as an art-related blog.

Thanks for reading!

This morning I was pleased to find a mini interview posted that I participated in for the Storque on Etsy. The article is about the struggles with balancing school and running a business on Etsy. Although I've been through with school for quite some time they were still interested in hearing about how my university experience influenced my current Etsy business. The bulk of the article is about one of my favorite artists and Etsy sellers, Caitlin Shearer.
Please check it out!

Hi!
I'm still working on the scanner issue and should have a double moleskine post on Thursday.

In other news, I have been asked to participate in the Affordable Art Marketplace at Poppytalk Handmade.
There are some really fantastic artists and I'm always happy to be in such good company. Please visit the site to see a full listing of all the artists.

Unfortunately my scanner has decided to stop talking to my computer. Please excuse my late moleskine post while I look into the problem.

In the meantime feel free to browse my moleskine set on flickr.

Welcome to 2009! Thanks for all of the continuing support this past year. I think this coming year is going to be a good one.

The holidays kept me from posting last week so today is a double dose of moleskine. The two sketches kind of make a good couple anyhow.

To ring in the new year I have finally made a little banner/title for the blog. Legit!

I also wanted to mention that I have updated my website with new artwork in all of the artwork sections.

2008-12-18T10:15:00.000-08:00

Happy Thursday!
I've added some small paintings on wood up in my Etsy Shop. Some are new and a couple are older but they are original and quite affordable.

As of late I've been experimenting a lot with style and color and though it's really fun I always worry about "style" and why it's not always acceptable for artists to change styles. And how do you know when you're "changing styles" and when you're just growing and expanding on what you already do? I think I've touched on this before and I think many artists struggle with these questions so I'm just putting it out there again. Sometimes I have trouble quieting the ideas in my head and feel the only thing I can do is just make shit.

Hope everyone is enjoying their winter weather in their various homes!

Happy 200!

My 200th post!! I never properly acknowledged my 100th post on here so I made myself promise to be more alert when it came time for the 200th.
YAY

ok I'm over it.

But I wanted to share some images from The Canvas Project show that I took part in, courtesy of the Art House Coop: (second row from the bottom)

I definitely plan on participating in more projects with them in the future and I highly recommend it. It's nice to have a little challenge/motivation, etc. to keep things interesting.

oh Shirt!

I'm really pleased to announce that two new shirt designs are finally available to order online from Blood is the New Black! So if you need that last minute gift I think there's still time to order!

The site was acting weird this morning so if the links don't work just find "Andrea Shear" under artists and you can purchase the shirts from there. Available for men and women.

I've been working on several commissions recently and it's been so much fun! Hope to be able to share them soon.

In the meantime, if you're still looking for holiday gifts for the art-lover here's a reminder of what I have available:

These are the 3 prints available for purchase through Little Paper Planes:

cathing colds from the internet

2008-10-30T15:59:00.000-07:00

In lieu of a sketchbook drawing today I'm posting a recent commission I did of some more "hanging sisters". I really love these mysterious ladies.

Did I happen to mention that I have learned almost the entire dance to Thriller? I hope I get a chance to break it out this Halloween but I've come down with an annoying little cold so we'll see. I don't even really have my zombie costume together yet.
Happy Halloween?

Do pardon my tardiness this week! It's been a crazy week and I'm looking forward to the weekend so I can catch up on things.

it's not about the fame it's about the money

2008-10-16T10:26:00.001-07:00

Check out the new Papernstitch site. I'm going to be joining the exhibition next month but there are so many great shops up right now. Be still my wallet!

Due to a late (but amazing) dinner with some fantastic people I got to the gallery just as they were closing so I didn't get a chance to see everything. When did galleries start closing so early?

no afterthoughts

2008-10-02T20:42:00.000-07:00

I think it's time for a +- list:

-working too much
+making money
-family health problems
+did yoga this morning
-100 degrees outside
+Oct. is my favorite month
-lots of unfinished paintings sitting around
+lots of new paintings in the works
+new prints will soon be available in the Etsy store

I think the list could be better but I'm feeling especially tired at the moment. Probably from the heat.

This drawing gets the "Weeds" theme song stuck in my head. Happy Thursday! Can you make it one more day? I don't know if i can...
