Stacks Exhibition and More from Blair Mountain....

I'm so excited to be part of the artists who will create 'zines
for the Light Grey Art Lab's exhibition, "Stacks"! My year
is 1988, and as I begin working on the 'zine, I'll provide some
glimpses!

Working on The Blair Mountain Comic for Cartoon Picayune!


An in-progress page!


Me, at the drafting table. I can't work without my reading
glasses now. Gah! :-) Nope, that's not an optical illusion.
My hair is indeed purple in the front.

Work images and framing works for the Vacancy fundraiser at Future Tenant!

Front and center is Women in Water: Miss Quentin Compson; "Sister Moon"
is to the right, and pages for my Blair Mountain comic are all around.

Remember "The Dream Chair"? I painted it back in 2012, and I was working on a
hand embroidered upholstery cover....like, forever. I'm still working on that embroidery.
However, I started thinking about putting it in the Women in Water exhibition, and while
the fabric here is not what I'll be using, there is something equally cool that is being
printed at Spoonflower right now. Details to come once I start the upholstery process.

   

Working on framing two works.....

"Oracle" and "Sister Moon" are all framed and ready to go to the
Vacancy Fundraiser for Future Tenant Gallery!

New Publications and some upstairs studio shots....

I'm so excited to be the cover image for the Spring 2014 issue of  Your Impossible Voice!
Above is a screen capture of their site. Hard copies are on the way in the mail, and as soon as
they arrive, I will take pics!

"Loretta & Pies in the Sky" is also part of The Boiler Journal's art section!
A screen capture of the pdf file available online is just above.
You can check out the whole issue here:

"Magic Snail" has returned from Hudson, NY's awesome Limner Gallery,
where it was part of February's "Small Works" exhibition.
It is now for sale in my Etsy shop.

The delightful mess on my studio table. Is that an issue of
ClothPaperScissors under that heap of stuff? Why, yes it is!

Things happen with wine in my studio on Friday afternoons. :-)

Some Pics from the Studio!

Here are some pictures of the Radium Girls masks in relation to the
fabric that will be part of the January installation at Future Tennant Gallery.

Another shot of the Radium Girls masks.... two in the back are unfinished.

Here, I'm working on a linocut for the Pittsburgh Print Group online gallery.

"Rocket Girl", a framed, mixed media work, is on its way to a
collector in Mission, Kansas.

"Women in Water: Freckled Mrs. Goldsmith" is also on its
way to a collector in Mission, Kansas! Hooray!!

Some studio shots....what's been happening lately...

More Radium Girls masks are underway...also, I've been making some linocut prints
in anticipation of my Pittsburgh Print Group meeting in mid-November.

So I've been really busy lately, especially since I've begun copy-editing manuscripts for a press in New York (Yippee! It's a really nice gig.). However, today, I got some studio time, and I'm continuing to work on the Radium Girls exhibition pieces. Here are some studio shots!

Shown here is the under-painting on the Radium Girls masks. I build color up layer by
layer.....these both have a ways to go.

And a long view of the studio space....

Sexy Studio Pictures...

Things are happening in the studio...many things....(an aerial view). I've started
stretching my own canvases again, too. You can see the tiger I've started in the background.
What is the tiger on, you ask? It is on canvas, but I've added old dress patterns with
waterproof mixed media adhesive. I like the texture of the thin paper underneath the paint.

I've got a new, small diptych started on the easel. There is a dog toy
beneath the easel. Fred was there. ;-)

The studio is a pretty productive place these days....the picture here just doesn't
do it's peacefulness justice.
