Riverside... Here I come!

Quick peek pour vous:
The process it takes to get 50 lil arts goin' is crazy..
the sheer amount of prep..... and when you have a week and a half-- I do the hustle!
yes- and 70's dance.. ;)

Ok - what are they for--? why do you do this to yourself? heh-he.
It's for an event called Baby Tattooville.

Bob Self, my publisher & friend- dreamt up this magical event. I was so happy to be one of the featured artists last year. Meeting so many new friends has helped me to come out of my "art shell" ---and be more active in the 'artsy fartsy' world again--Honestly, I was getting kinda tired of it. But there ARE fun people... hurray! and nice! ---thank god. But yeah, sometimes I still don't wanna leave the cave-- heh.

But yesiree Bob ( ha ha) , this weekend, artist Rick O'Brien ( my hubs, and amazing painter & madman!) and I are both involved... madly making artwork for the hardcore art lovers that got tickets--- it feels good. ( especially since it's not so damn hot in my studio tonight!) work work work...

My friend Brandi Milne summed the event up well..so I suggest you visit her blog too for info, and fun pictures from past shows. She's on top of it--- hot damn! I try... ;P

Here's me and my favorite paintbrush.. 'young blood'.

stamped the dyed papers with a gocco custom screen printer-- they rule...

the dying process... coffee AND tea.. smelled horrible actually-- with the heat 'n' all.

Mr Sun sure helped me dry those papers out---I'm surprised they didn't catch on fire!
-----

I'll be sure to post all the juicy details when I get back, I have a feelin' it's gonna be nuts...

Be well folks!

Makiko, the giant Savior...

Thought I'd post one of my paintings from 'Pie in the Sky' for this week...
Shes' about 5 1/2 feet of Japanese pie-lovin animal fun, painted with acrylic & pencil on wood. I'm really looking forward to lining up models....but until then.. I'm sooooper busy focusing on a bunch of 'secret art thingies' I'm doing for this years Baby Tattooville -- sold out! Rick O'Brien, my sweetheart, will be contributing as well this year --- The head-lining artists are pretty amazing-- so If ya got tickets... have fun, and I'll see you there!
