Blogg

It's been a while!

Things have been a bit hectic/busy in my life recently (good and bad). One good hectic is that I resigned from my job to make art full-time. PHEW! And THANK GOD!

I'm very excited to embark on my artistic career (and, of course, relieved I won't need to wear a suit every day!) I'll be getting a studio space in Brooklyn to work out of, & a part-time job to help cover expenses. My last day at work is October 4th.

Oh - And a pumpkin contest too. My mom & I are entering a pumpking contest (grand prize $5,000)! It's sponsored by Michael's craft stores, & you have to use "craft pumpkins" (the fake pumpkins) to make your entry. Unfortunately, one of the rules of the contest is that no photos can be posted on the web, including blogs, so you'll all have to wait until December to see this thing.

I will, however, be posting pictures of my new T-shirts on the blog this weekend. I've been having a tough time with my hard drive, but seemed to have finally fixed it. I have 46 new shirts for the fair, & about 20 old ones. I plan on making 25 more before the fair (October 7th, Providence, RI) and I'm having more fun with the new T-shirts than I've ever had.

I'm ALSO having fun sharing a table with Rebecca at the fair. AND seeing Brooke! AND Katy & Paul! AND Robin! AND hopefully LeeAnn (who moved to Newport)! Either way, it's going to be a wonderful weekend.

Jenny Holzer has installations up along the waterfront, & there's a great exhibit in the RISD Museum about underground Providence Art (i.e. Fort Thunder, etc.).

Okay!

Have a great day everyone!

xoxo
