Happy Holidays!

Happy Holidays everyone!
Merry Christmas to all of you who celebrate!

Here's a silly little poem I wrote for this holiday season. Hope it makes you smile!


Thank you to everyone who visited my sites, read my blogs, and bought my merchandise! =)
Best wishes to you all!

News from November


Oh wow, it's been quite a while since I've last posted. November has been a busy month, however. Along with the secret, collaborative project that I've been working on (and still am, which is why I haven't posted much new art), I've also had to produce work for a local gallery show and art sale.

On November 14-16, 2013 I took part in The Postcard Show, Volume III at the Hot Art Wet City Gallery, Vancouver. I contributed five 4x6" artworks which went up for a silent auction. When I stopped by I saw that a few of my pieces had bids on them, but I'm not sure as to what happened later - if they all went to happy homes. I'm sure the details will be available shortly thought. 

Here are the scans of them however:
"Northern Knot Trees"


"Silver and Ivory"
"Tea Tag Time"
"Duali-Tea"
"Walnut Tree" (not a new piece, but it was the right size, so I included it)
And here's a photo of them hanging at the show, right next to Seth Rutledge's work. (Thanks Seth for telling me about show!)




P.S. Prints and products from my postcards are available at my Society6 shop. =)


Then from Nov. 22 to 24th I took part in the annual Emily Carr Student Art Sale. I mostly had postcards and unframed prints for sale, but there were also a number of framed prints, a couple of acrylic paintings, and three patterned boxes up for grabs. I'm happy to report that most of this merchandise got sold, with only a few pieces left for me to take home. I'll be making an illustration-based Etsy shop soon - so stay tuned!

Here are a couple of photos from the sale where some of my works can be spotted:



And now I'm off to work on all sorts of things, both secret and not. I hope to post again soon!
