Best. Night. Ever.

Yes!

My opening was a huge success. It surpassed anything that I had imagined it would be. Yvonne and Vikki, who run the gallery, are two amazing women. They are such a pleasure to work with.

The gallery space is beautiful. Both ladies did such a great job displaying my work. It looked lovely. I think it was the perfect space for my pieces. I sold 14 out of 28 on opening night! Yay! It had to be one of the best nights of my life. Really.

I was also featured in the local paper, which is just so amazing to me.

The rest of my trip was wonderful too. I loved hanging out with my friend Kim, and catching up. We went to the pool, we did a little shopping, we ate some good food, and drank lots of good coffee. Thanks K! You're the best!

EEeeeee!!!!

So I did it!

I did my first three color silk screen and I think it looks pretty damn cool.

I want to do more, but I need to go get some containers to mix ink in, and I also need to get something to mix the ink with.

This has been so much fun. There were a lot of things that I learned along the way, and I have a lot more to learn, but honestly i was prepared for far worse results.

It's been a pretty good day so far. Little anxieties...but over all good. I woke up to thunder this morning, so that was a little exciting. It looks like there might be more on the way...

Anyway, thanks for all the kind, encouraging words from that last post. I am so glad to have this little community of people to lift my spirits up when things get tough :)

Hope you all have a great weekend, and be safe!

I'm Home

I made it back in one piece.

It was amazing. I had so much fun. Coming home was really hard.

So I went to all the big museums. I ate pizza, and Chinese food, and hot dogs, and muffins, and drank lots of coffee.

I rode the subway. By myself. Without dieing.
Yay me :)

I met Craig, of Cubist Literature, and got to visit his amazing studio in Red Hook.

I did so many things and visited so many places, that I think I made myself a little sick. I had the worst migraine yesterday, and was so tired that I just slept and watched Flight of the Concords all day.

I did manage to feel a little bit better by the end of the day thankfully. I had to drop of some work at the Fact and Fancy Gallery in downtown Brooklyn. The gals that runs the gallery are really nice, and the space is very cute. I am excited to be part of their fist show!

I know that there are a million things that I am leaving out and that I wanted to talk about, but I just can't remember them all right now.

All I can say is that I had an amazing time and that I laughed more this week than I have in a long time....and I even learned a couple of new things about myself in the end. Good times.
