TABLE E17

SEPTEMBER 26-28

Busy, busy, busy.

Time flies when you have no time to think!

Its amazing how you can fill your life up with a simple change like getting a new day job. That's what has happened to me. I started a new job and tripled the number of hours I was working. Gah!

On the art front nothing slowed down as I had planned it. I thought I was doing pretty well, getting my artwork done on time, and finishing up projects, but as soon as one project ended 2 seemed to replace it. I have had so many things. SO MANY THINGS!

I was lucky to participate in the In The Round exhibit at Graven Feather gallery/studio in Toronto.

I finished a whole whack of artist trading cards, from swaps that I had joined months ago. You can see those in my gallery over at Illustrated Atc's.

The video game project was put on hold while we worked on a campaign for Kickstarter. I designed a great many things to give away as rewards to those amazing enough to donate. Wallpapers, buttons, stickers, posters, and original artwork.

PLUS, through it all I have been organizing and getting to the production of a whole new body of work for a solo painting exhibition, An Alberta Aviary, which shall be going on tour starting in February.

And then there are still a couple of things I just couldn't say no to.
Like this Exhibit for a Sailor Moon themed tribute show. I sent in my submission and i'm hopeful they will select me as one of the artists to represent my all time favorite Anime. :)

Lots of work!

I have so many tv shows recorded my pvr doesn't know what hit it.

I will post more about my preperations for the show closer to the event. ♥

Just a block away from the Expo Store, and right near an entrance. :)

Lacombe Art Exhibit and Sale / April 20,21,22

This year I will be returning to the Annual Lacombe Show. I will be displaying my work with fellow artist Jeri-Lynn Ing, so check it out! Its always a great show with lots of great art, and many people wait all year to buy art from the local artists represented during the weekend.

Of Patterns and Sea Creatures Exhibit

Here are a few shots from my January Exhibition, "Of Patterns and Sea Creatures". I haven't had a chance to do any real photography of the artworks because my camera has been on the fritz, but you get an idea of the work.

The large hexagon canvas is a Nautilus.
