The Forgotten Brush Giveaway!

Laura over at the lovely Forgotten Brush is currently running a pretty swell little giveaway on her blog, and one of my mini paintings has been included!


A Little Windy is a 2.5x3 framed watercolor. Laura was looking for donors to her giveaway and I contacted her over the holiday. Definitely go check it--and her blog-- out!

StudioHaus Blog

Aha! The lovely StudioHaus has featured my little moth in a "vote for your favorites" entry. As usual, jewelry has the edge over art (it's all very nice jewelry though!) so I won't mind if you vote for me... but regardless I'm pleased to have the mention! Tis an honor to be nominated. ;)

NaNoDrawMo ?

So, I'm going to assume you've heard of NaNoWriMo. Wait... you haven't? Oh, okay. So, NaNoWriMo is an annual "event" held every November. The idea is you write a novel in a single month. The goal is 50,000 words in 30 days. Every year I intend on doing it and every year I neglect to do so. I was all set to do it this year and.... pfffft! My computer died (more like is in a coma). I've just gotten access to a computer for the first time in over a week and instead of writing furiously, I've found myself distracted by something else--

NaNoDrawMo.

This is a new little endeavor by a group of people on flickr, to try to inspire people to create 50 individual drawings in 30 days. To some people, that's cake. To some, eh, not so much. But I'm intrigued and am aiming to participate. Here's what I've done so far, although in the future I'm going to (a. get more rendered and (b. incorporate some figural stuff and portraiture. The latter two I've not done so much of recently, and it's time to really draw my ass off.

This one, I've actually put on etsy...

Craftastic

Arg! I just realized I'm missing the Bust Craftacular Holiday show in NYC this year. Last year I missed it due to Day Job but figured, "Oh, it's okay; I'll go next year..."

Ugh.
