A lot is happening and there is a lot on my calendar; 2008 is turning out to be a busy year. --News? I am officially an artist-in-residence at the Greenbelt Community Center. To celebrate, this Sunday (April 6) from 1-5pm I will be having an open studio and I want to invite everyone to stop on by and see my studio space. This is part of the Greenbelt Community Center?s "Artful Afternoon". I have originals on display, prints on display, and books available. I will be in the studio for questions or for some chatting! In addition to the studio spaces being open there you can also participate in ?Luna?. "The moon has been stolen! Witness the harrowing Grimm fairytale in a magic lantern show at 3pm created by artist Molly Ross and Nana Projects. Join Molly for a hands-on workshop at 1pm to create shadow puppet monsters that will appear in the performance! This is free and open to everyone of all ages. " Greenbelt Community Center, 15 Crescent Road (my studio is in room 302), Greenbelt, Maryland 20770 I will be participating in the first Hyattsville Arts Festival. The festival is celebrating the new art district being developed in historic Hyattsville, MD. Along with me there will be 35 artists displaying their work, along with entertainment, music, and food from local vendors. It should be a wonderful way to explore the updated area. -- more information -- My artwork and my blog is being featured in the summer issue of Artful Blogging Magazine. The magazine will be available starting May 1. --More information -- --Recent artworks? Illustration Friday: Theory. Another little 4" x 6" piece. This used a lot of insets, which involve quite a bit of precision when cutting. (02/21/08) ? See the completed Theory -- Union Jack. This was a little something I created to use as a background. I digitally combined this with Day 178 - Rally Mini to create a Mini Cooper roof graphic. (02/22/08) ? See the completed Union Jack -- Illustration Friday: Multiples. This take on the theme was presented as a joke - but I thought the idea was good. The size of this piece grew as I was working on each doll - it ended up as 4" x 9" (02/25/08) ? See the completed Multiples ? Ice Cream Cone. I wanted to make something with a subject that would perk me up, this did the trick I do love ice cream and this piece is the non-fattening kind! 4" x 6" (03/07/07) ? See the completed ice cream cone? Masters #7. I had been toying with "Rosie the Riveter" for quite some time - figured no time is better than right now! 8" x 10" (3/12/08) -- See the completed Rosie the Riveter -- The Mystery of the gnomes. This came from the theme from MondayArtDay of "wee folk" and I also manipulated it to fit into Illustration Friday's theme of "heavy". This really was just something that made me laugh and fit well with St. Patrick's Day (even though it was late) 6" x 4" (03/21/08) -- See the completed Mystery of the Gnomes -- --Show Information-- Cafe Luna in Washington, DC This show will be closing most likely this Friday night.
