My grand debut

Last night was my coast to coast artistic debut. Two openings in one night!

If you are in Seattle or Boston in the month of December, go to these places!

December 2010

• Seattle, WA. ArtsWest Playhouse and Gallery. "Neo-Kitsch: National Small Works Showcase." http://www.artswest.org/?q=NeoKitsch
• Boston, MA. Lorem Ipsum Books. "Small Works Group Art Show." http://www.loremipsumbooks.com/

Some press for the Lorem Ipsum show.

Today's painting is one of my holiday cupcakes, featuring a sprig of holly. These are the original works behind my Christmas cupcake cards, which have done pretty well this season, I think! At least, I feel like designing christmas cards in August paid off.

Cool!

My American cupcake got featured on a cupcake blog! I love this stuff!

Whole lotta prints

My prints are finally arriving and being posted. I think I have realized that I do not need to do giclee fine art prints right now, and that many artists don't. They are expensive if you are sending them out to be done! Photo prints are much more affordable. Lesson learned. Gonna be looking into getting some bigger ones done in the future.

Penguins!

Whew, this was a lot of work, setting up the measurements and getting the printing right. I need to get better at this graphic design stuff. But I have my first birthday card!

I love this painting, because I love penguins AND cupcakes. This was an actual cupcake I ate from Party Favors in Brookline, MA. I get a lot of inspiration and sugar rushes from them. Also, I am currently the mayor of Party Favors on Foursquare.

The original now hangs in my baby niece Imogen's room.

Even more!

I did this series of cupcake paintings together with the idea that they could be cards. I really like these! I'm just full of ideas!

Another fast one

Put this one up today: http://www.etsy.com/listing/49152106/pink-cupcake-original-watercolor-5x7

Another fast one. These are really quite different from what I've been doing in the past, working off cupcake photographs, striving for realism. These are just done out of my head, now that I feel like I know the shape of a cupcake, and now I just want to play with my colors!

I am very excited that I will soon have notecards featuring my art for sale!
