The BrownGirlFiles

Okay, so I've been keeping mum about this as of late because I didn't really know how to tell anyone, but I've been asked by TheBrownGirlFiles to do some writing for their art section and their weekly installment of Weekend Warrior: The List. I've only written a little bit so far but I've really been enjoying it. My favorite writing assignment so far has been my review of the Mano A Mano show at Runner Runner Gallery (although I wouldn't call it a review, but I can't think of what else to call it right now). I'm going to be working with TheBrownGirlFiles for a few months so there may not be many show updates around here for a while and there aren't a whole lot of details that I can give about this job. I'll be doing a lot of administrative and creative assisting which is another thing that I do along with illustrating and showing.

Solo Show @ Sister Sludge

I've been mentioning this a little bit here and there for a while now, but as of February 1st I have my artwork up at Sister Sludge Coffee Cafe until the end of the month. It's my first solo show.

2012 Munny Contest

I entered a Munny into the Munny Contest at the Tomodachi store in Rosedale Mall in St. Paul MN. I went to visit the store on Thursday and saw that there were a ton of cool Munny's on display. I've got some great competition.

The Crown Chakra

Found this drawing under a pile of stuff while cleaning house yesterday. It was still in it's sketch stage and in really good condition so I finished it with ink, water color and acrylic. It turned out really well.

The Facebook page and Twitter

I have both a Facebook page and a Twitter for my artwork. For faster and more in depth updates you should check those out :)

The Cupcake King 2: The Pastry Wars

When someone challenges your cupcake then you must go to WAR. The Cupcake Empire will go unchallenged. THIS. IS... CUPCAKE!!!

I took this with my iphone because the scanner needs fixing, hopefully this will not be a common occurrence.

UPDATE: The scanner works now, so here's a much better image.

Normally I don't get political, but...

PIPA and SOPA are a huge problem for all of us. These acts are extremely broad and have the power to censor and shut down any website. So Please, take a little bit of time to sign one of the many petitions and contact your local representatives.

The Sketchbook Project

Here is 1 of 3 pages I did for The Sketchbook Project 2012, and though I don't do a lot of sketching it was a lot of fun. The project sets sail in April and the sketchbook is under the Cult Sisters name so you can follow it as it travels around the country and to Canada.

I haven't been drawing a lot lately because I'm trying to come out with something new (I haven't drawn anything in about 2 weeks and my drawing hand is starting to itch).

Next month I'll be hanging my work at Sisters Sludge, which is a coffee shop in Minneapolis. If you want to check it out starting February 1st here's the address

HAPPY NEW YEAR, YA'LL!!!!

This past year has been great, with it's ups and downs, making more art, meeting new people and having more shows. I'm gonna make sure that this year is even more successful and wonderful. Thanks to all of you who visit this site and support my work. I wouldn't still be doing this today without any of you and you make my life so special.

Thank you so much. Here's to another great year :)

Girl Stag is Finally Finished

After weeks of posturing and procrastination, I've finally finished this piece just in time for the New Year. This means I only have 2 unfinished pieces left (which will NOT get done in time for the New Year).

Also, I have a small solo show in February that I'm preparing for; more info on that in January :)
