hear ye! hear ye!

well... the book idea seems to be a good one. but i need a new camera before i can make that happen. in the meantime, i'll start playing around with zines and stuff. it's so much fun! i've made a few for myself in the past and to hand out to friends... nothing too impressive, just playful and sweet and i'd like to get back in to that. i think it's actually a very important practice. it's a really wonderful thing to just get the work out in to the world and not worry so much about whether or not something is Perfect. it is a practice of bravery, for sure. maybe i'll start working on that today.

it's cold here this morning and i need some more coffee before anything else. i ran out of my delicious hazelnut cream yesterday and so i've been dumping brown sugar in my coffee this morning and it tastes like ASS. no good. time to put my jeans on and run down to the store. :/

in other news, i'm letting go some of the work i've been hoarding. i've spent most of the morning updating the shop. take a peak! and there's more on the way. here's a few of my favorite that are up right now at black fence.

a little collection of Artist Trading Cards. these things are so much fun to make!
they are tiny! 3.5" x 2.5", the same size as a baseball card. totally cute!

i keep forgetting to mention...

tomorrow, there's a huge drawing event at my gallery. a whole bunch of us artists will be on-site with our paper and pencils and whatever else we feel like making marks with, and everything we come up with will be priced firmly at 50 bucks a shot. super cheap! i'm definitely planning on beefing up my art collection tomorrow in addition to making some creepy, pretty things of my own. if you're in the bay area, stop on it, bring a friend, help us drink the wine, and crack some jokes too. we'd love to see you! my drawing time is the last round from 3 - 5pm but i'll be hanging out the whole time. we start at 1pm. see you there!

hanging in there...

my prayers for a bit of sunshine were answered! me and inga have already gone for a hike and the fresh air definitely did me some good. my spirit is starting to lighten and i think i've met with the worst of my sickness. i'm on the upswing and feeling ready to dive back in to my work. i put quite a few art pieces on sale in the shop today. i need to make room for a few things i've got in the works and scale back on the type of items i'm going to offer. and i need to make more room for myself. i am getting over-run by my projects at this point and need to find good homes for all my little babies... and i can only pile so much work on my mama for safe keeping.
