happy dancing


so, you know, this thing happened. i got published. in a magazine. crazy, right?  it's the summer issue of somerset studio gallery. it's been a long process that started in january when they contacted me to submit a few pieces. at that time, the publication date was so far in the future that i couldn't quite believe it was going to happen. but it did!

and it's so surreal to see your work like this but it is oh so awesome too! one of the paintings even sold. there's an amazing feeling when someone purchases your art. i'm not talking about the money part, although that's great, cause i do want to be the unstarving kind of artist. but this feeling that you're showing something that came from inside you and that somebody else gets what you're showing, they understand it, it says something to them, and there's this connection. a connection to someone i've never met. very cool stuff.

































here's the one that sold































i even got a mention on the editor's page!































i'm so thankful to have had this opportunity and now that i've had a taste... i think i might want more. who knows exactly what that means but this has been so very cool.

fortune cookie wisdom



it's here! the 4th annual humble hand drawn fortune cookie wisdom calendar is in the shop.






 

here's a behind the scenes shot while photographing the calendar. we're in the process of painting, please be kind! it will eventually be all a creamy white that will brighten this dark room. and i just had to show you my auction find. this amazing unfinished, but signed painting. i just love it. i've bought some beautiful canvases at auction and as an artist i find it kind of sad because they go so cheaply. but then again, i get to have some awesome pieces.... hmm....




and here's a calendar getting ready to be mailed.

work


printing a notebook for a lovely customer.





and here's a new notebook in the shop. i've always loved this title from the movie (with, in my humble opinion, a beautiful and heartbreaking performance by river phoenix) and the song by the b52s.  i thought it would make a perfect diary or journal. so here it is, hand carved and hand printed on a moleskine notebook.




and i found this beauty just outside my door. amazing.
