Blatant Self Promotion

So if any of you were following my blog way back in June, you'd know that I had been working on an illustration for Body + Soul Magazine. Well, it's out on the newsstands! So I can now share this with you. If you look close enough, you can see my name in the bottom right hand corner.



Go out and get yourself a copy and flip directly to page 62. Stare for the recommended 10 minutes, twice a day.

More tables

Two more tables in the running for a computer desk.


The green table is PERFECT as far as size goes (and price)....

The yellow table is just perfect except for size (and price)....

I'm trying to get the seller of the yellow one down so I can just get both. Our new apartment is looking quite empty from the lack of furniture, so I'm sure I can find a place for it somewhere.

Pictures of the new apartment should be up soon. It's still in the state of slight embarrassment.

Also, I just signed up for this awesome project called Scavenger Project. They're going to send me a little package with 24 subjects. I send them images back responding to those 24 subjects, I get at least one image published in a book through Art House Co-op. Pretty cool.

And, Free People is having a fashion illustration contest. Direct link here. Totally into that, too.

And job applications and interviews all around. Wish me luck!

I wish it was a little bit taller, I wish it was a baller.

Found this on craigslist in my search for the perfect small desk.



But it's really short. 28" to the desk surface, which would be fine, but the space from floor to the bottom of those oh so perfect drawers that are just calling for some of these knobs is only 20". And I'm pretty sad about it. Actually devastated.

Overly Inspired and No Output

So, as I said before, I've packed up all of my art supplies for the upcoming move (6 days!!!!). In the meantime, I keep coming across images for inspiration and dragging them onto my desktop. The following has resulted.



I hope to do something with all of it soon. Even just organizing them by subject.....ah but the kitchen is calling me for packing and cleaning. Blast.

Away until further notice

Sooooo, I packed up all my art supplies the other day, hence, I won't be posting much until I get settled in my new apartment at the beginning of September.

But another show is coming in September at ellO gallery!

"Impression Process"
September 3 - September 29

Socially Acceptable Babies

While browsing on etsy I came across the white elephant vintage shop.

This is one of the vintage products she has and it made me laugh for about 5 minutes.



Not only does white elephant vintage have a huge array of the strangest vintage objects I've ever seen (for example, this booklet) but the product photos are just wonderful.

So news story #1:

I've decided to start sewing blankets (kinda sorta quilts) and plush sculptures. Because I think they are pretty.

Nikki has joined blog land in my favorite form of writing. See here.

We move in 21 days. Which means I'll have space to do my work in 21 days.

Cheers all around.
