So... Remember that news I had about possibly selling some of my 'Staches on a Stick at a local gallery shop? Well it's a reality!!! I dropped off my 'Staches and some earrings at the Collorwheel (46th & Grand) last Friday before work and there is so much there to see + you can get a hair cut! (If you book an appt a head of time, of course.) Tammy is really nice and loves to chat about all kinds of art! Tammy's mom (mother-in-law? I don't remember which) is a painter and the pet portraits are amazing! Please check out her shop, there are so many fun things to see!

Sorry Ya'll!

WOW, it's been a month since I've posted anything. I'm sorry everybody. Unfortunately there hasn't been too much going on, I just work a lot. Having 2 part time jobs that I have to drive to (45-50 min away) eats up a lot of my free time. Plus all of my friends are either back in Mpls, out of state or in other countries. No fun for the HB, sad to say. I try to keep busy with my projects but even then I easily get distracted.

Sorry something shiny caught me eye. ;-)

Ok, so I'm not ADD/ADHD and I'm not making fun of people who are, I just miss my old life (well my life circa Summer 2008 - Summer 2009) so I try to do a lot of different things to keep the boredom at bay. So if anyone ever wants to visit my little town, say hi and hang out, let me know, otherwise, I'm driving up to the burbs all the time for work anyways.

I'll be doing a photo dump here soon, I do have a few new things to share with everyone. The onesie I made, the felt hearts and I'm currently working on an octopus, but he's taking a lot of time since he has more details to flush out.

On more note, there MIGHT be a gallery show in the works this Dec! I'm not sure what kind of stuff I would want to put up yet, I have old MCAD drawings, photos, digital illustrations, my tees, my plushies... SO if anyone has a vote/ suggestion or whatever please feel free to comment your thoughts! The owner of the gallery also SEEMED interested in my 'Staches on a Stick so maybe she would be willing to sell them in her Salon/Gallery/Shop. I was hoping to go to her next show opening up on Aug 15th. It's called Street Art - The Art of the People, it's at the Colorwheel Gallery in Minneapolis. If someone wants to go with me, please drop me a line ASAP.
