What a long day for me, and now I seem to have a sore throat. Hopefully this will not turn into a full blown cold. Just wanted to put a quick reminder here in case you haven’t noticed it on the side bar, my design is up on Threadless.com for voting. Only 3 days left.

Thanks for your vote it means a lot, I would love to see one of my designs be printed by Threadless, and they are a Chicago based company even cooler!

I don’t know where to start, not really sure why I didn’t share this sooner than today, which I just realized is Wednesday! I am now the proud owner of Canon Digital Rebel xt. The camera I have dreamt about for years is finally mine, to take pictures with. I just want to squeal with joy, but I will spare all of you that I am sure you can find videos on youtube of it. I am still working on getting a battery charger for it, since it was bought used. So have been limiting my picture taking as the battery is just about dead.

I did manage to get one though of me with the camera. Yay me. It has been so long since I actually used an slr period that I need to get myself back into the groove of taking pictures with so much depth of field again. Will need to take myself a day trip somewhere pretty as soon as I get that charger!

I want to jump up and down and squeal, I’m so excited that it is up! Also a little in disbelief that it is actually up, everything is framed and done. It took a few hours yesterday, but all the artwork is hung in the Salt Creek Wine bar for your viewing pleasures. So if you can’t make it on the September 20th go check it out anytime in the next two months! I have a few paintings that I will be adding before the opening reception but for the most part it is all there.

It is such a surreal thing when your art is up hanging in a public space. Knowing that people are looking at it, at commenting on it, and making conclusions about it. It was an interesting feeling when it was all up and we were looking around the walls at it. My friends Justine’s work is also hanging there, there was no way either of us could fill the wall space alone. Our artwork really works well together and I like the variety.  I am sooo happy pretty much all of my framing is done, the few straggler paintings are actually mainly going to be canvas unless something great comes out on paper.

Now I can take a deep breath and relax…
