01:07 pm - ohh, so many pretty things i returned home this week from sb miami. though i bummed around on the beach most if the time i did manage to check out some of the fairs and grab a few photos. i loved the laid back atmosphere of the aqua hotel. the rooms were fresh & airy and the art was well lighted in the day. it felt very comfortable, if i had to choose this was my favorite spot. red dot had a very eclectic mix of works and galleries. the rooms and halls inside were a bit stuffy and dark, but an adventure none the less! i posted my photos here >click< too.. official sites www.reddotfair.com www.aquaartmiami.com www.bridgeartfair.com www.flowfair.com/ www.fame-collective.com www.artbasel.com a few blogs with coverage on the fairs www.supertouchblog.com www.artfagcity.com www.nymag.com also.. pictures from the november 16th exhibit at lineage gallery are up on the site, see them here

03:14 pm - longer nights an upcoming exhibit 16th of november @ lineage gallery in philadelphia, pa - will host the lovely artist sam flores downstairs and stella im hultberg & me amy sol upstairs. im working on five paintings for this exhibit. the work has been very intensive, i feel they are nearing completion but the finishing touches seem to be taking forever. for fun i post a recent working photo >here im getting anxious because the progression of these pieces have taken longer than anything ive ever done up to this point. it's strange, i dont recognize myself while i paint. its like my hands have more patience than me. i'd really love to go out this halloween. if the works are complete... we shall see ;-) _______________________________________________________________________________________ in print news.. the printshop friends are busy prepping a few pretty prints (below) to make available on website sometime before holidays. we decided to create two sm size giclee in larger editions "carousel girl" and "music of turtles" and one larger giclee in smaller edition "uyi and the careful feathers" we notify exact date/time of sale to those on my subscription/mailing list. "music of turtles" "carrousel girl" "uyi and the careful feathers" Current Location: studio Current Mood: artistic Current Music: last.fm/user/fuerlejer

07:43 pm - catching up.. i found a new studio space this month, it close to the strip and china town which is very different compared to where i lived before. ive been longing to move my studio and unexpectedly found this place.. its big and unbelivably affordable ! the three-way lighting is the main reason i choose it. i will have to move again in one year, (big move) so i dont have plans to get completely settled in. the downside is the neighborhood.. its shady, shady. behind bars for now ^__^ recently.. a new batch of colors for works in upcoming group exhibits. ive been in mood for romantic and warm. i am suprised how unique some of the pigment mixtures turned out.. refreshing to work w/ a new pallate. a new piece in progress, about half finished.. a result of the new color batch... all the series will be divied into two group exhibits this yr (about 10 small pieces total) & will be framed in various sized cutey floral frames..hand antiqued (by yours truly). i like lighter frames on the works but these will not be white white- more of a naturally light patina. not finished, but very close..
