on being a river???

i know is has been awhile.
my bad.
you know, summer ended, school started, and so on.
i spent the last three days at the rittenhouse square fine arts fair,
in a student booth selling art work.
it's funny,
i remember cutting school with gianna this time, when it was really nice out, and there wasn't anything going on at school,
and we walked around rittenhouse looking at the art...
funny how time goes.
but it went well - the fair that is. i spent a lot of time gathering and making new and old work to bring, and i (as well as the other two students i split the tent with) got really great feedback.
i hadn't realized how much it can wear you out though... standing around and talking to people all day. it was really fun (i mean... what do i love more than connecting with people over some good words?) but also very very draining...
and there are a nice handful of people you really don't want to talk to.
but anyway. here are a couple of the small pieces that i made for the fair.



this one is by meredith and myself. we did a couple pieces together.

also, i have been making some necklace charms out of old eyeglass lenses that dr.moon gave me years ago.
i think i am gonna try to sell them at first friday.

and here are a couple starting points for school.
this first one is a litho drawing, the first one i've done and pulled a print from.
and the second is a drawing/painting/whatever that i am going to turn into a serigraphy print... which means lots of planning and so on...
i'll keep you updated.



aside from that,
it's all good.
i'm enjoying life
and trying to ignore the little holes of
doubt and fear and so on... yall know how it goes.
spread around the peace and all the love,
and i'll make sure to start posting more often.

Were the people that you would've rather not talked to like, "ugggghhh..." and "bluuhhhhh..." and "errrrrrrr..."?

sarah i love the mountain one with the blue doily... doilie... doilie... doiley. if you have this piece or another one similar to it i would love to buy it from you :)

and thank you for sharing scans from your sketchbook in the post below. it's beautiful. i want to get into the business of archiving beautiful people's beautiful books of beautiful thoughts and ideas and drawings and ramblings. books are a dying art. we need to keep it alive!!!
