CTN-X!

This post is coming to you this morning from the floor of CTN-X! The convention is just a few hours away, so I thought I would put up some paper work that I made for the occasion! This guys will be on my table this weekend, so if you are in the area you should certainly stop by and say hello! It is going to be a great show!


And here are a few detail shots:



I will also have the Purrrcasso piece (from the previous post) with me at the show! Unfortunately it did not sell in the auction, but hopefully it will find a good home soon and all of the proceeds from it will be donated to the Berkeley East-Bay Humane Society! I hope to see some of you this weekend!

Purrcasso 2009

Purrcasso is a really great art auction/sale that is put on every year to benefit the Berkeley East-Bay Humane Society, and this year it is happening on Nov. 7th and 8th (this weekend!) in a brand new location on 4th St. in Berkeley. You can find more information on the Purrcasso site, as well as see a fantastic sampling of the artwork that has been donated this year.

As promised, here are a couple photos of my piece (that Billiam was kind enough to take pictures of because I completely forgot to do so myself.):


And just for kicks, here is the sketch that I worked off of to build the piece:

If you are in the area, stop by the auction on Saturday night! Say hello and bid on some artwork for a great cause!

Caged Birds Sing!

This will be my page in the upcoming CTN-X program/sketchbook. The book will be filled with artwork, bios, tips, and all sorts of other things from the artists who are participating in the expo. It will be a limited edition program and only available at the convention this year, so you should be there to snag one!

In other news, the Purrrcasso Art and Craft Gala is this coming weekend! In all the madness that was last week (with work, Halloween Prep, and more work) I was happy to be able to finish my piece for the show on time....and then I completely forgot to take any photos of it. Luckily, Billiam was kind enough to get some shots, so hopefully I will have those posted before the end of the week. In the meantime, have a great week everyone!

Pegasus Commission and Post-APE Update

A little while back I was commissioned to do a Pegasus paper sculpt, and here are the final photos. This piece was a blast to work on!






APE was great! Thanks to all who came out to say hello! I apologize to those of you who were waiting for a shop update - Monday was full of deadlines and thus the shop did not get updated until today. All new prints, buttons, and greeting cards are up, and at the time of this posting I still have one paper sculpt (this lovely lady) that is not spoken for. They were a blast to make, so I will certainly try to get more in the shop soon.

Next up for me is CTN-X! I can't wait to see everyone in Burbank!

Paper!

My last pre- APE post!

I've spent the last few weeks constructing 10 original mini-paper sculpts that I will be bringing with me to APE! Here they are:

Top to Bottom, Left to Right: Snow Owl, Fall Owl, Seahorse, Canary, The Bride, The Dancer, The Good, The Wicked, Fall Fox, and Patisserie

A few detail shots!

They will be with me at tables 286 and 287, and each piece will probably be priced between $50 and $125. I'm going to split them up and have 5 to sell on Saturday and the other 5 to sell on Sunday.

Saturday's Group: Fall Owl, Snow Owl, Fall Fox, the two witches (Good and Wicked)

Sunday's Group: The Bride, The Dancer, Seahorse, Canary, and Patisserie

Any leftovers will go up in the shop on Monday! Actually, there will be a pretty hefty shop update on Monday, so if you can't make it to APE, don't feel to bad. But if you can come out, please do! It should be an awesome time!

Puppy Love

Here is holiday card #2! My pup is back East and I miss him very much! He looks just like this little guy, only multiplied in size by a factor of 100.

I will have both card designs with me at APE this weekend (with Billiam at tables 286 and 287), along with lots of prints and other things. I will also be posting mini-APE updates on twitter all week as well as during the show, and you can keep up to date with all of that right here. If you are in the Bay Area this weekend, please do come by and say hello!

Stay Warm :)

I know that its not quite this time of year yet, but I have to design my holiday cards early or they don't get sent:) Plus, they might show up on the table with Billiam and me at APE. They just might...

Have a wonderful weekend, everyone!

Birdies!

Coming soon to an APE near you:)

Also, Terrible Yellow Eyes show this Saturday! If you happen to be in the LA area, please come out and say hi! It should be an awesome show.

More APE updates coming soon. Ta-ta for now!

Bookworm

Here is a little peak at a commission piece I worked on last month. The recipient of this paper sculpt apparently loves mermaids and LOVES reading, so I thought I would combine the two into one piece. Mermaids can be bookworms, right?

Detail: paper, cardstock, and gouache.

Full detail of the final framed piece.

In other news, I'm back from Pennsylvania and am jumping right into prep for APE! Bill and I will be back for more this year, so I will have lots of things to post as the show gets closer. I will also be exhibiting at CTN-X in November, so mark your calendars and come say hi if you can! Have a great weekend everybody!

Simply Terrible!

Last week I found out that I have the honor of being included in the upcoming " Terrible Yellow Eyes" show at Gallery Nucleus! I was so excited that I decided to create a second piece for the show. And here it is!

King Thing - 9"x20" Paper Sculpt

My original TYE contribution will be in the show as well. If you are in LA on September 19th, you should definitely stop by! It should be an awesome time:) Many, many thanks to the fantastic Cory Godbey for putting this project together.

After the Wild Rumpus - 12"x18" Digital Print and Paper collage

More posts to come soon! Have a great weekend everybody!
