Oceanic show

July 3, 2008

My piece for the Oceanic show in Seattle (see postcard images below for details)

Hello



My updated show schedule for the rest of the year:

1. Oceanic - group show at Suite 100 gallery in Seattle - opens July 11th
2. Sleep Walk - my solo show at Rare Device in San Francisco - opens September 4th
3. Audrey Kawasaki and friends “Drawing Show” - group show at Thinkspace - opens November 7th
4. Infinity Squared - group show at Distinction Gallery - opens in December

I just got my first set of oil paints today!
I’ve always used other people’s oil paints and not very well mind you! But it’s been years so perhaps now is the time.





scratches on paper

June 8, 2008


A visit from old art because the new art is in serious progress. Paper dolls are growing new limbs and outlines are being prepped for paint.

But these, these are around five years old or more. I used to work in all kinds of inks… Mostly tiny quill pens and brushes in ink & sometimes a rapidograph or two. I still like ink but the lure of color and the smoothness of gouache wins more often than not.


I found these as I was looking over my old in-progress zine that is as old and older than these drawings. I was originally going to post bits and pieces from the zine because it seems like a waste to keep them hidden in a folder forever but I don’t feel like giving up the notion of finishing it someday and I happen to have tons of folders and packets of drawings that no one has ever seen. So that’s nothing new.

I’d love to post in-progress work but I’ve found that it doesn’t work out for me. I always stop working on it the minute I post it…





warmth

June 2, 2008


Away for two weeks and I feel like I’d like to be away for more but there is much to
do and prepare for and I can’t turn off reality forever.
Even though I’ve had a huge dose of it in the last month… the world keeps turning.

I updated the shop in the middle of the morning with prints, small original pieces and some cute bees made by my Grandma.

Some things are already gone, thank you!

I finally decided that after five years, I probably won’t ever get around to finishing a certain zine I started. So my next post might be filled with scans of old drawings and
stuff.

Sweeping away the cobwebs and all of that.

See you soon!

emerging

Sometimes I find myself sketching in bed before sleeping.

My new envelopes showed up today so prints should be in the shop this coming Friday afternoon.

See you then!





In shop news…

May 5, 2008


It looks like Little Red Riding Hood is in short supply and because of icky issues with my old print place, I am probably going to skip reprinting this one.
I’m just worn out with it.
My initial plan to have a new doll set each month completed and in the shop was short lived (it was inevitable but I am ambitious sometimes).
As usual I have stacks of papers on my table that want to be worked on so you never know what will show up and when (if the time allows).

Soon I will be offering prints of some of my work.
If you have a print request, please let me know!
I’ll take it into consideration.

It’s been a long time coming but I wanted to make sure that I had the right tools and the proper mailing supplies before I started on this venture.
The test prints look superb so I shall proceed.
A shop update should be announced mid-week.





a small notation


This past week has been a difficult one and I have decided that I will keep my very personal life separate from my blog as I have many anonymous readers but I want to make a note of the fact that I haven’t meant to ignore anyone who has tried to contact me recently.

I will be in touch shortly.
