I did something I actually like!

I don’t post about specific stuff I do at work very often because … actually I’m not sure why. It ain’t modesty, I promise. I think I’m still just delusionally assuming that if I don’t post specifics about my work that no one at the new job (new? I’ve been there a year!) is going to find this corner of the internet and discover what a nutty broad I am. That’s crazy, I suppose, because…

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…

Day 36/365: Pangea Swag

I have such an addiction to the jewelry Angie makes. I already have a ring I bought from her a couple of years ago, and I have relied on her for more than a few birthday and Christmas gifts for friends. I have lusted after those earrings for months and months now, and then when I saw the yellow butterfly necklace, EVERYTHING GOT BLURRY and before I knew it, I was clicking buttons with wild…

Just call me ‘shopkeep’

Finally, after wanting to do so for a long time and just never really being able to pull the trigger on it, I’ve opened an Etsy shop. Right now there are photo prints available as well as one framed collage-type item, but I’m busting ass to add more things that, hopefully, people will want to buy. Eventually I want to add customizable stationery designs, but that’s going to take some time since the few designs…

Full-on yellow tape robot graffiti — what does it mean?

  Twice now I’ve noticed a yellow tape robot placed somewhere conspicuous in an urban core: Once in Chicago near Millenium Park (left) and once in Portland near Powell’s (right). The Chicago robot, which probably measured a foot or so in length, was spotted around New Year’s Day, 2010, while the Portland robot — much smaller at maybe three inches tall — was spotted just Sunday. I’ve been Googling and Flickring like mad to try…
