It’s here!

I am so excited about tonight, I can’t believe it’s all here, and done and ready! yet, I don’t feel as panicky, or stressed or worried as the last one. I feel good about the work I’ve put in, and the prices, and everything. It feels right somehow. Today I am going to be disgusting…

How to Bring Art to the Unwashed Masses

One of the things I like to focus on is keeping my art accessible for everyone. Art doesn’t need to be obscure, just for artists, it can be something that speaks to everyone.. even good old joe on the corner. So, how do you bring art to the lowest common denominator? This works on the…

Well Hung

Well, the hanging is all done, the paperwork is signed and all that remains is for me to chill for the next few days. It’s a good feeling, everything is organized and finished up.

Crisis Averted

I was worried that I was running out of inspiration.. but crisis averted! now I have even more ideas. I am very excited again. I can see them blossoming in my head. speaking of blossoming, I laid the groundwork for one today with an enormous flower in her hair. I seem to be gong a…
