i had a great time last night, thanks to everyone who showed up!  mina and lynnore did a great job setting up the show and the vibe was very light and fresh.   

 

AND next weekend is the Hell's Belles Car Club 4th annual pinewood derby and silent art auction, a benefit for the Bay Area Women & Children's Center.  i'll be donating a fresshhh piece of work to the silent art auction, so you should definitely stop by and check it out:

the pinewood derby is pretty exciting too.  for reals, it's surprisingly engaging for a race between cars made out of blocks of wood. hope to see you there!

seize the day supersale

i probably should not have a blog.  i blog erratically at best.  but i've been very busy lately.  here are a few of the things i've done:

1) i moved (granted, i moved in january, but still...) and my new place has many things to distract me from blogging, including, but not limited to: a) a meyer lemon tree, b) a hammock, and c) a really comfy sofa.

2) i got a dog.  she is hands-down the most awesome thing in the universe.  end of story.

3) i decided to go to mexico in june.

this leads me to the critical point of our blog...versation (yes, we are currently blogversating).  i have decided to go to mexico in june!  i haven't been on vacation in 9 years (and that was just a short stay at a cheap motel in san diego, which barely counts).  and of course, i can't really afford to go to mexico in june (or ever), but you know, one must seize the day.  life is short and all.  plus, it's too late.  i impulsively purchased a plane ticket at approximately midnight o'clock last night.  what's done is done. 

so here is where you come in!  i just put everything in my etsy shop on crazy super sale, for one month only - nothing is over $85!  like i said, crazy.  and also super. 

check it out!

you need art.  i need to go to mexico.  let's help eachother out.

home again

my recent trip to seattle was very fun.  i admired the lush foliage, i ate a lot of food and i drank many, many soy cappuccinos.  i also saw several very fine beards.  in my humble opinion, seattle and portland really do have the finer beard market cornered.

you can see some pictures of my art show here.  the show will be up until december 31, so if you're within, say, 100 miles of seattle, get on over to wall of sound and have a looky-loo.  it's worth the trip.  it really will (probably kinda) change your life.  and everything is priced for the new economy (a.k.a. the greater depression).  that means affordable as all get out.  so get out.  seriously. 

did i mention that a crazy man threw garbage at my head tonight?  crazy, right?    furthermore, i'm pretty sure my upstairs neighbors are playing foursquare with bowling balls and silverware.

ok, have a good night!

to be clear...

i will be at the space for everything opening party this friday.  and i hardly ever go to seattle so you should definitely come by and bear witness.  furthermore, i will be wearing red tights.  red tights!

s p a c e for everything

I'm doing a show this month in seattle at wall of sound.  it's about love and crisis and nature and magic.  it is going to be fun.  serious.

s p a c e for everything
