An art mystery!

Internet, I hope you can help a sister out on this one. Richard received this piece of art that belonged to his Aunt Amanda after her death several years ago. He doesn’t know where it came from or who made it; he just selected it because he liked how it looks. There’s no identifying information on the back, and Richard’s mom has even asked a close friend of Amanda’s to see if she knew more…

Coffin Bell TWO book trailer

I’m working on art and layout for Coffin Bell TWO, an anthology of dark literature. My friend and CB EIC Tamara asked if I could put together a book trailer. I had no idea how or what to do, so I said, “Let me try!” Behold! I actually really like how it turned out. It’s a love letter to art, writing, books, strangeness, and the vehicle that can pull all of those things together: graphic…

Art-ing

I’m trying. It’s never flattering, pushing yourself outside your comfort zone. Opening up your chest and letting people see inside and maybe take a swing at your softest parts, if they want. I happened to see a last-minute call on Facebook for an open slot for love-themed artwork for the February exhibition at the Gordon JCC‘s art gallery. I emailed the curator my balloons-in-the-trash photo from a few years ago and asked if she’d be…

Light therapy

I’ve been meaning to get out and see the Bruce Munro installation at Cheekwood since May. My brain was having sort of a bad day yesterday so I decided to go ahead and get that done in the hopes that it would cheer me up. It worked. The little spheres of light cover the grass and undulate, passing their colors around in waves. At times you get the feeling like you’re looking at a huge,…

A plug for a cool kid’s book

Jason and Alana gave Holden Bob Logan’s “Rocket Town” for Christmas last year. We’ve read it a hundred times and I never get tired of looking at the beautiful illustrations. Each page is art that I would happily frame. If you have a young ‘un and are on the lookout for cool board books that have simple story lines and incredible illustrations, or need a nice shower/birthday/holiday gift, you can’t go wrong with Logan.

A new name for an old pursuit

New beginnings, I guess. I’m trying. Theogeo Design & Photography was a cumbersome name so now it’s Eyedot Creative. Here’s an explanation. The Twitter‘ and Facebook changed, too, and did you know I have a Tumblr?

Come to the East Buntyn ArtWalk on Sunday and say hello

Acccck! Where is the time going? I am so behind on posting! I meant to post about this a while back and never have really had the chance. Sunday is the third-annual East Buntyn ArtWalk. I will be there with a tent and some tables and a baby and some family members (the specific composition of family yet to be determined) and lots of photos and artwork and crafty stuff for sale. Come say hello,…

The happy (hopefully) hawker

Saturday morning at 6, I will rise out of bed like a very large, potentially grumpy phoenix and make my way to Cooper-Young to set up my booth for Cooper-Young Festival. I’ll be in C7, which is over by Cafe Ole on Cooper. I’ll be selling the same sorts of things that are available in my Etsy shop: photo prints (framed and unframed), quirky art prints, crafty things, note cards, recipe cards, posters, magnets, and…
