I'm moving my studio from my garage to a really cool place called CorkStop Studios [link] , which I will be sharing with three other fantabulous artists. I'm really excited about this!

I also started a blog [link] a while back. I will be uploading works in progress as soon as I'm set up in my new space. You'll also find some rants and crazy ideas and other news there, so check back every once in a while (or subscribe and get it via email!)

The sun is shining, it's 93 degrees outside (whether you want to call it Indian summer or global warming I leave up to you).

Life is good!

The voting ends November 3 I think... If you have a minute, go here: [link] and vote for a good design (it doesn't even have to be mine ). You can vote by either giving a cover or , or by leaving a comment and rating the design with up to 5 stars.

And if you're American, make sure you vote on November 4 as well! It's really important!

But first, let's celebrate Halloween! I will be in New Orleans, leaving tomorrow morning at 4am, coming back Sunday night... I'm so excited! Never been there...

To see my costume, follow my blog: [link] I'll post some pictures there when I get back!

Happy Halloween!

I was busy with other stuff: [link]

The plan is to dedicate the next 6 months to painting.
We'll see how that will work out.

Wish me luck!

The Holonic Art Movement is looking for you! We're in the middle of planning an event on September 27, 2008 at CorkStop Studios (www.CorkStopStudios.com). We have a few projects planned and need more participants. Here's a list:

1. at least 12 artists to create 5x5" pieces of art (photography, prints, drawings, paintings, watercolor, collage... you name it) with a given theme in mind. they have to be on heavier paper and will be matted & framed together.

2. artists to create 2.5x3.5" cards (like Artist Trading Cards, no rules - as long as the final product is this size and more or less flat) or tags (size to be determined). Themes will be announced.

3. poets to submit poems to go along with the artist cards (see 2).

The cards and poem will be combined into a book by a local book artist.

The deadline for all artwork is August 15th. No exceptions, no excuses. If your work isn't here, we can't use it! Pieces will need to get assembled and/or framed, so this will give us enough time. Book artists will need time to create the book before the event, so if you don't think
you can't finish your project by August 15th, let us know! We will sign you up anyway, but save your piece for the next round. We're also open to your ideas about how you would like to interact and collaborate with other artists!

To find out more about the Holonic Art Movement, visit our website: [link].
To get involved email us (art@holonicarts.com) and let us know in which project you're interested.

If you have artistic friends, feel free to pass this call for artists on to them!
Looking forward to hearing from you!

Have a colorful day!

"Brushstrokes", an annual juried exhibition by the Oil, Pastel and Acrylic Group (OPAG) of the San Luis Obispo Art Center will be on display at the Morro Bay Art Association through May 11.
The jurors were Anne Stahl and Xenia Madison of CorkStop Studios [link], two fabulous contemporary abstract painters.

I'm also in the middle of planning the first exhibition of finished pieces and work in process of the Holonic Art Movement [link] in September at the Green Acres Lavender Farm [link] Hurray!
It will be an all-day event with workshops, yummy food and wine, a bunch of fun vendors, an auction, and their famous lavender cookies and lavender lemonade.

"You will attract cultured and artistic people to your home."

It made me sooo happy. I think it is the best fortune cookie I ever had and a really good omen for the new year! So, when are you guys coming to town?

#1: I opened an etsy store (www.pacha.etsy.com) with all kinds of goodies.

#1 ATCs - Artist Trading Cards
They are collectibles, 2.5 x 3.5" in size. It's about meeting other artists and exchanging work. Here is a [link] to my ATC gallery. I'm looking forward to creating and exchanging many cards this year... Let me know if you are interested!

#2 Found Art
Another way to share your art and your vision with the work: A piece of art is left behind by the artist for somebody else to find. Loosen up, make some art regardless of the purpose and outcome, and share it with somebody who wasn't expecting it! You can find some of my Guerilla Art around San Luis Obispo and by clicking on this [link] . You are invited to join me in spreading some happiness!

panta rhei!

After seeing Alienari's Artist Tradings Cards, I read up on that topic and I will do some myself. Anybody who wants to trade cards, send me a note.

I will also start a collection of envelope linings (the inside of security lined envelopes). Last time I went through my postage stamps I noticed all these great patterns... donations are very welcome! (It doesn't have to be an complete envelope!)

Interested in trading more? Any new trading ideas?
Bring'em on!

the desk-top calendars (under gifts) were very popular at the Open Studios Tour and make great Christmas gifts...

I also have my "drag'n drop" series on there. ( I only have one of them on dA)

but check it out yourself if you're interested => [link]

now the complaining (you thought you might get away without it, huh?)

too much work! not enough time for painting...
there's a juried show coming up, and I still need to finish two paintings I would like to enter...but no land in sight...just work... and more work


bah...

ok. that's enough for today, I save some complaints for tomorrow.

and at least Rummy is on his way out...
