Well I have been very busy and again I've made a change in address. I'm now living in a lovely apartment on 4th and south with my very lovely boyfriend. Currently the above picture is where I'm doing my work for the time being. I desperately miss my tablet and computer and photoshop! But working traditionally isn't so bad. Though I do miss my scanner even more because then I could actually showcase my work at some form of decent quality instead of cell phone photographs.
The 90's Show for the autumn society opens this friday at Brave New Worlds Comics at 45 N 2nd st, philadelphia, PA from 6-9pm. The show will run until the 30th and yours truly has a piece in it. I encourage you all to come down and have a look at all the wonderful art...especially mine. Here's a photo of my piece in case you can't make it. But you're missing out on it looking all nice and framed and your ability to buy it.
I also donated a piece to Philly AIDS Thrift for a silent auction during their Summer of Love Benefit at Philadelphia's Magic Garden located at 1020 South St, philadelphia, PA. The event will be on Friday June 11th from 5-9pm featuring food, refreshments, cash bar, the silent auction, DJ TransAm spinning and live music by Dangerous Ponies. General tickets are $25 and VIP are $50. All proceeds are going toward Philly AIDs Thrift, a non-profit set up to sell donated items and distribute the proceeds to local HIV/AIDs service organizations. This cause is very close to my heart as I have lost people to HIV and AIDS, and know people fighting the disease now.
My piece for the auction is dedicated to the bike kids and hipsters out there...kind of. The people who really love bicycling for the right reasons and are true to themselves as well as are all around good people. People I think will be involved with this event the most. Riding a bike and sharing cigarettes is a huge part of life in the summer along with drinking early in the morning when concerned with my friends. I based the painting on Austin and I, but tweaked it so we're a little more hipster to relate more to that scene and culture. I like it a lot. And I love tandems. I hope all of you can make it to this event as well.
I'm currently working on a website design for The Bakery creative co-op based out of my old house with Angela Latini and many other local artists of all kinds. So stay tuned for that ladies and gents. It's of course, cake themed. And I will be doing it digitally if it kills me.
I'll also be leaving in a few weeks to teach photoshop art at a summer camp for a month. I love teaching people things and I'm pretty excited. Even more so to have art to be so present in my life again. I feel invigorated. But for now I must meet my other half at work so we can ride home together because we're disgusting like that.
