It's late....

or early...depending on which end you're on. Each week seems to be longer than the last.

Trying to get back on track....

"We Have Chosen Hope Over Fear."

The world has been buzzing!!

I rolled out of bed & onto the couch this morning to watch the inauguration. 

Coffee, english muffin, a warm blanket & the much anticipated new president!!

All is going well at John Robshaw ((so thinks I)). I'm trying to get better aquatinted with the fast pace- people complain about producing 8 sketches in a week, but in the real world, people do 10x that in a day. It keeps you on your toes, that's for sure! & I truely don't mind it:) Everyone is so kind & incredibly patient, so I'm quite grateful. The big textile fair is coming up- all the designers bring their new lines & the vendors come to peruse the goods for the stores. The wonderful people at John Robshaw have gotten me a pass. I don't know that I've ever been so eager for a 7am-10pm Moday!!

Printing on Thursday morning!! My mom kindly took a trip to the post office with my silkscreen, so it should be here just in time!

In the meantime, feeling slightly uninspired at home & need to get the ball rolling. Or step on the gas. Or find a mechanical carrot. But alas, I've finally gotten started & that is the hardest part. SVA honored Martin Luther King Day, so portfolio class will require two weeks worth of work by our next meeting. Slowly but surely...I'm okay with being locked up in the apartment/studio until then.

****& if you're in New York, I HIGHLY recommend you hit up the mOma. There is a great video installation filling three huge walls, complete with a round couch in the middle & music to zone out to. I'm headed back this week (fingers crossed). 

Just because...

A few old birds that never made it up.
Next week is the last portfolio day of the semester, which means taking a look at all the work that has happened...which involves many, many little patterned panels.

Vegetables coming soon.

The Day of the Bird.

Not quite a turkey...but let's face it- there aren't as many running around today.

Wishing you & yours a happy thanksgiving....

Studio nights....

A preview of what has been happening all these late nights in the studio...
I'm veering away from the typical "illus- trations" & more into a fine art world with the work I am creating...
