Portland, Oregon

Oh hey!
Have you seen the show Portlandia yet? The first season came out last year, and the second season is currently running on the IFC channel.

I have to say, this show sums up this city very well. I admit, it's a bit strange watching a skit comedy show on the place where you live. It's even stranger when it's spot on.

My friend and I were talking about this clip and the countless number of times we've been in this situation. Even when the other person doesn't have even a stop sign! 

 

 This season is much funnier, in my opinion, than last season. I'm convinced that it's going to get better.
There are many people here who are opposed the show here. They refuse to watch it and write article about it for the paper and all the weeklies here.

I think it's fun. Don't take where you live so seriously, people.

Exciting Things!

wow, today has been a day.

almost first thing this morning I got an e-mail from the production team of Portlandia asking if they could come pick up a couple of my pieces! What?! That's crazy, I know.

I submitted some work to them when they put out a call to artists last week. I didn't think anything would come of it, and then today I got the email. I am pretty sure that the show is going to mock, heckle, and poke some sort of fun at all the pieces that they decide to use. So I am preparing myself, and getting my skin tough. It could be possible that it doesn't even make it on the show. We won't find out until Fall, but it's still a fun idea!

The other thing I wanted to mention, that I thought was exciting, was that I am going to have a little opening at a shop in Portland called Twill. On July 30th, from 4-8pm, I'll be having a little part at their shop. I'll be selling some prints and framed pieces! Yay!

What a fricken' busy month. I hope I can get out and enjoy the summer weather, before it disappears, soon!
