Well, the past two months just flew by in a haze of art [thankfully.]
Lately I'm trying to be more involved with the Untitled Artists Group, but so far I've missed a few meetings due to back-logged work...this week I'll be able to get more info about the Spring Show in April, which I made a squiggle for my own poster design. Once the date/venue is posted I'll update it, but for now, enjoy my ink!
I also did a smaller squiggle study for the piece I plan on entering in this show. The idea came from an old sketch from sometime between 2002-2004, which was revived due to my desire to revamp the idea, and Hobbit-husband's love of the original. I might try to draw one similar to the original just for him, but I like the squiggled-version as well. Behold.

I sold a BUNCH of items at the Hellblinki/Joe Black show in mid-February. Boa Clothing is keeping me on my toes with restocking and special orders on the crafty items. And honestly, I really need to get back to restocking my own inventory for the large festival at the end of May, not to mention really getting down to stocking the Esty site. So...random fascinators/accessories/necklaces are a success. I suppose they could be my "hobby" when people ask what I do in my free time. (Hobbit-husband would laugh at the phrase "free time" though, cause it doens't really exist)
I've gotten a little more freelance work under the belt, and one regular client that is helping build the dream of "earn a living with my skills alone." I still do a little part-time as-needed mockup work at the local design company, but lately I've been too busy, which is a half blessing cause I miss working with those people.
Hopefully I'll be able to upgrade my website to allow 500 images, cause I'm at the limit and Really want to just add instead of rotate new projects in my current 30 image limit.
I was asked to design a friend's baby shower invitation and am so happy with how it is coming out. I'll post the images from it after delivery, as I want the mom-to-be to see it before the interwebs. I still have production to do, trimming out embellishments, putting them all together, but doing things like that are fulfilling in their own way. Soon I'll be holding a stack of 40 cute and complex-looking invitations and can say "I made it all, minus the actual paper." Maybe one day I'll have the space to Actually make the paper, or at least recycle paper into home-recycled stuffs.
Anyway...That's mainly what this design-junky has been up to the past few months. It's not everything, but the coffee is finally kicking in and there's a meeting I need to get to....which time has totally snuck up on me! Must run!
