If I were bi-coastal...

...or if I could be at 2 places at one time, these are the 2 places I'd be this Saturday night.

"I Know What You're Thinking..."

Save the Date! March 18th, 6pm-9pm is the opening reception for our show at Sloan Fine Art. I hope those who are in the New York vicinity will come and visit with us. We're all very excited for the show. Saelee has posted some preview images of her pieces here and here. I'll be posting some up this week as well.

Alix Sloan has printed up 3 different versions of the invite, this is mine.

Mr. Smith goes to New York

Mr. Smith, Aaron Smith that is, is having a show here in New York. I'm very excited to see the show and see him. He's one of my favorite instructors at Art Center and it was in his class that I started playing with intermixing textiles and paintings.

His new paintings are very different from his usual painting style and I'm really digging it.

Come see his work at Sloan Fine Art. His show opens this Wednesday, February 11th from 7-9pm.
Show runs from Feb 11-March 14th.

I am Lion, hear me ROAR!

While doing research and shopping for an installation in an upcoming show, I wanted to find a yarn store that wasn't too expensive yet had a spectrum of colors and variety. Also, one where I didn't have to trek out to Queens or Staten Island to go to a Michael's or JoAnn's. Right on 15th Street between 5th and 6th Ave is the Lion Brand Yarn Studio. The variety of yarns and colors are great, in addition to there being a weekly crocheting and knitting doctor (who I will need to make an appointment with).


Here, they have every variety of yarn they carry so that you can take a swatch and knit/crochet before you purchase so you know how it will look.
