Upgrade!

Finished overhauling the website today. Modifications include: improved gallery pages (featuring brand new work from 2012), an updated resume, new contact information, and a "Links" page to connect you with some very talented artists. Check it out, gimme feedback.

Also... leaving for the SGCI conference in New Orleans in three days. YESSSSS.

The Jackalope} Art Conference

I will be interning this week for The Jackalope Art Conference.  In the words of the developers, "the Jackalope Art Conference concentrates on developing a sense of community through exploring nontraditional ways of making." It will take place this Friday and Saturday (January 6th & 7th) at Northern Illinois University's new Gallery 215 (215 N. 4th St., DeKalb, IL).

As of yet, my winter break has consisted of nothing but work (saving up for SGC in the spring!) and holiday-related activities, so I'm stoked to finally spend some time "out in the field." Check out the website and register to come (it's free).

Find me on Tumblr!

Many items of business today...

1) I have a Tumblr account now, which is quickly becoming my insta-porta-mobile-blog.  It basically a bite-sized version of this blog, with a lot more photos and postings about things that amuse and inspire my life and my art.  I've been using it to post works in progress, as well:

2) I'd like to fill my Links page with some interesting stuff, so if you have a website showcasing your artwork, or know of any good printmaking sites, please let me know.

3) I am working on adding an event calendar to this site, but until then... my Relief & Intaglio class is going to be in a show at Bad Dog Gallery in DeKalb on October 20th, 2011 from 7-10 p.m.  It's called "Chatter" and will feature woodcuts from the entire class.  BONUS: We're giving away free prints at the show.  Come and get it!
