If you didn’t check out Dave Bloomfield the first time I posted about him, you’re silly. He decorates my life with happiness. Thanks Starhead for the great pack of goodies!

We mourn the spindle

I saw the Spindle with my big sister when I was 14. It was 1989, the year the Spindle was put up. Her “cool” high school friends took me as some sort of mascot to Berwyn for fun. They took me to Parkey’s for a double dog with handmade fries in a greesy bag and to see the Berwyn Moose.  I was as happy as could be. Years later I married and had my first place in Berwyn. I drove past the Spindle and the Garbage Sculpture regularly. Sadly, today I heard the Spindle had been torn down.  Such tragedy…for a Walgreens. Bummer. Thank you to Dustin Shuler for all the crazy art in Cermak Plaza. I loved it.

Free Art Friday

Here is Sunshine Sally giving out a little love this Friday. This is going out on the street somewhere today.

Puss in Boots Travel Kitties!

These Special Edition Travel Kitties headed to St. Louis yesterday to make their appearence at the Crammed Organism Plush Show. They will also be in the Crammed Organism book that’s coming out. Go Travel Kitties go!

Making Some Special Edition Travel Kitties

I drew this up at lunch yesterday. Travel Kitty is going to rock the cape for the Crammed Organisms show. The theme for the show is “Fairy, Folk, and Fable”, so he’s going as a hip Puss in Boots…awe yeah! Actually four kitties will be going. I’ll try to get another picture up here before I send them off to St. Louis.

Have a good Friday everyone. Don’t forget to go to the Poetry Project tonight to see Nicole Georges if you are in NYC…and hook me up with a copy of Invincible Summer #2 while you’re feeling happy.

Nicole J. Georges is cool-See her in NYC tomorrow night!

I was lucky enough to stumble upon Nicole’s first volume of Invincible Summer while I was at Gosh! in London. I loved the drawings, so I got it. The writing was just as fun and interesting and I spent a handful of nights staying up to long reading and admiring how she drew black hair with shine spots in it. Now Nicole has volume 2 coming out! Hooray! She will be coming to NYC tomorrow night (10 pm at St. Marks Poetry Project). Oh, how I had planned on being there to get my copy of I.S. #2, but gettting selected for the Crammed Organisms show means I may be making kitties on Friday night instead of heading to the city. If there had to be a reason not to go, at least it’s a positive one. I am still excited about living in my new city, knowing people I like actually come to this area. Yeah for NY! You should go though. Really, it’ll be fun.

TKP will rock the Crammed Organisms show!

Well TKP friends, in addition to being world-wide, the TKP will be showing St. Louis, Missouri (North America) just how cool plush can be when some special edition Travel Kitties make their way to the worlds largest plush show! YEAH! I was so excited to get the news today. Head over to the Crammed Organisms site and look at the other artists who were selected for the show!

TURN TO CLEAR VISION

 

I took this picture on my first trip to the beach this season. It was still chilly, but I do believe it cleared my vision. Seeing the ocean is still unexplainable and beautiful to me. I love it every time.
