Chubby Birds

Chubby Bird #16

Chubby Bird #17

From my Chubby Bird Series.

A couple of years ago I got on a paper-staining kick.  No paper was safe.  There were always cookie sheets of black coffee-sludge baking in the oven or moist tea-bags all over my studio.  I knew I had a problem when I would buy tea I hated just because it made pretty colors.

Still, I have not used all this paper.

All the Chubby Birds are done in sets of four.

In other news, my Etsy store is now operational.  If you see something you like that isn't posted, let me know.  If you like something that is already sold, let me know that too,- if there is enough interest I'll get prints made.

*Update* I no longer live in a place with reliable internet, so the Etsy store is on hiatus until further notice.  If you'd like to purchase some of my art, email me or visit my website: www.torpid-porpoise.com

New Art

Finally got my scanner up and running.  Now prepare for a deluge of art!

La Corricella

Studied abroad in Italy my junior year.  It was a fabulous experience, and now Italy keeps popping up in my art.

Study in Sienna #3

This was a small study for the Study in Sienna that won first place in the drawing category at the IMAGE show.  I wish I had a copy of that one; it's much better, but the darn ECRAC went and bought it...

Art Fair Schedule 2012

Art fairs I will definitely probably be peddling things at.  Come visit!
July 21st - Pine City Art Fest
July 28th - Milaca Rec Fest
August 3rd - Braham Pie Day
November 10th - Mora Hollyfair

This year's list is mostly local, since I'm all fat with child.  And if anyone has recommendations for other excellent art fairs, I'd love to hear about them.
