Phew!  Yesterday I took down one show and hung another.  I now have some paintings down at Little Urbanites in the Pearl District.  So I am adding several originals to my etsy shop.  I have more I plan to add later in the week.  Also for good measure, there is a new print!  Enjoy!  Oh, I have a few things coming up this week so any ordersplaced after today won’t ship until the11th

oh, i want to see this…via art addict 

I added a few of my new pieces to my etsy store, more to follow!  Also, I am going to be adding quite a few originals!

sorry for so little posting, i’ve got projects coming out the ears!  If you’re in the Portland area,  I will be at Urban Outfitters (23rd ave. location) tomorrow (saturday) with many prints and possibly a few originals.  UO is having a benefit for the Oregon food bank with many Portland artists in the store selling their wares as well as a performance by local band Archeology.

I have some new paintings nearing completion, I will share more soon!

yay!  The always amazing Chelsea Fuss, now has a new blog, urban weeds.  Think satorialist for Portland, so excited!

meet lightening bolt and web boy…and not pictured, the biggest super hero: dad, daddy, doo doo, chocolate eyes.  Thank you for being such an awesome dad to our kids!  And to my dad, for being such a huge inspiration!

A new batch of lovely desktop wallpapers are now available over at kindred!  I’m loving these two by Alicia Bock and Traci French.

Don’t you love it when pretty things arrive in the mail?  I have plans for these…

the art of Nicole Poko since seeing it the other day over at design milk.  She freezes paint and then lets it melt, creating beautiful abstract paintings.  I was so enamoured, that I immediately went and froze some paint.  Then I let the kids go to town placing their paint ice cubes where they may.  The melting process was really fascinating, we all had fun watching their pieces change.  I think we are framing and giving to grandpa for father’s day this weekend.

So a bit a go i set up a twitter account, but didn’t fully commit.  But  now, like everyone else, I’m addicted.  First it was, you will never see me facebook-caved, fine, but I will NEVER twitter.  What’s next? You can follow me here

The days are beginning to blend together now that we don’t have a school schedule to follow.  Luckily, J has the week off, so I’m trying to get lots done while I have the chance.  With father’s day orders to finish, I definitely needed the help.  I also added some new prints to the shop this morning, so please take a look!

 beautiful art from trampoline, gorgeous vases with ‘character inducing flaws’ at manos and  the latest issue of lines and shapes

It is now officially summer.  Can.  Not.  Believe. It.  This year they each filled a page of notebook paper with their favorite things about the year and we scanned, colored, and printed them on beautiful paper, to give to their teachers.  Each was them of course signed by the artists.my favorite feature is ‘resus’ (otherwise known as recess).

I saw this post over at apartment therapy today about the standard winning the MASterwork Award from the Municipal Art Society for excellence in urban architecture.   It stradles the high line which was alas, in its final stages of completion and not yet open while we were there, next time, next time…Man, hope I have an excuse to visit again soon.  I miss eating breakfast in THE most comfortable bed with THE most incredible view.  

to all who came out Friday!  Here are a few pics…

I put up my show yesterday at tilde, in southeast Portland.  Please stop in tomorrow night, June 5 for a little opening!  more details here.

I have been out of the loop the last few days with an ailing computer.  I feel totally disconnected!  But now I have a shiny new computer on its way and this perty little cover to keep it that way.

I recently saw this way to display ‘well loved’ objects over at the selby and immediately knew I wanted to do this.  The more loved a stuffed animals is the cuter it gets.  My son has one such friend, and many, many more that are loved, just not loved to near destruction.  A great way to display these cherished objects of childhood!  I want to run out and get a mass of different sized wood boxes…
