RAW is RAWESOME!

so RAW did an amazing job at putting on our show.  Although I had to leave work early, drive three hours (which turned into 4 hours) through storms, all the way to Hartford, it was totally worth it.

I met some great artists and individuals, sold 2 pieces, and many interested takers, as well as admirers.  I even made a new fan whose sister works for pixar. All and all, a great networking opportunity, and I was so touched that all my friends and supporters were there to route me on.  I could not have done it without you all and you inspire me to continue to do what I love, so thank you!

They were really friendly and made sure that our space suited our needs and that we had the proper lighting and tools to display our work.  As far as publicity, head shots were taken, an interview was recorded, and we received coverage of the event from the Hartford Courant and Raw Staff members.  We were each introduced on stage and talked a bit about our work and our lifestyle.

PUBLICITY!

Sometimes I get a shout out here and there in the news.
So go on...don't be shy...click it! I dare you.

more to come. as it comes.

my life plan is sorta backwards

I got a full time job and an art exhibition before I had any time to make new art.  I'm not sure how I feel about this.  I have a laundry list of old art ideas that I want to embellish more...and new ideas I have yet to peruse creating.  For now I am sketching and hoping to network through my travels across the country.  I brought my sketch book and watercolors and will be posting some things soon.  I am trying to hone in on drawing more people, seeing as animals come most naturally for me to draw.

Next summer, I hope to do caricatures part time to keep my drawing skills relevant and just to meet interesting people.  I hope to be in L.A. this time next year, but we will see how the economy and job market is treating me by than.

(hey look, it's the kardasians)

If you haven't noticed new art, it's because...it's in the rough phases and I lack a scanner at my disposal.  You might see some crappy phone jpegs in the meantime.  Stay tuned my fellow art lovers :)
