Hello and thank you for stopping by my blog! I realize the updates haven't been frequent lately but know that I have a plethora of new projects in the works.
It's approaching fair season and the past few years I haven't been participating as much, but this year I'm going to be a vendor at Craft Jam! in Hammonton, NJ on March 25th and I'll announce others as the dates approach. New prints and merchandise will be available at the shows and added to my online shop shortly after if you can't make it out.
For now, enjoy this hammer in some underpants.

"I Didn't Hear About the Animal Sacrifices" is my latest finished work of a girl who is sad and puzzled by the idea of sacrificing animals and doesn't seem to know what's resting atop her head. This piece is 8x10 inches (plus frame) and is available in my etsy shop!

Liz McGrath and "New Moon"

2009-04-25T10:32:00.008-05:00

I don't have any new completed artwork to update you on this week, so I figured I would share some photos from my recent trip into Manhattan. I went to the Liz McGrath solo show at Sloan Fine Art, which was amazing. The above photo and 3 below are from the exhibit. If you are in the area, I recommend checking it out!

While in the city, I also stopped by My Plastic Heart to see the "New Moon" group exhibit and check out Juri Ueda's awesome new pieces. The photo below has Camilla d'Errico's piece for the show and Juri's two watercolor paintings.

Yay!
I have a bunch of work in progress for upcoming shows right now, so I'll be back with new pics soon. Thanks for stopping by!

It's a Dress-tastrophe!

2009-02-25T21:51:00.016-05:00

I made it out alive...

So, as I mentioned in my last post, I went up to Boston to visit my friend Courtney and attend the Running of the Brides to (maybe) get her dress. I took my flip camera with me to capture the event on video. I don't know how to edit and upload videos yet, but I do know how to use that "snap" button and here are some very blurry images (due to the hustle) from that morning!

Team Courtney, which consisted of Courtney... and me... and that's it, briskly walked through the doors about 1 minute and 12 seconds after they opened. There were still hundreds of people behind us on line and the racks were already empty. A manager-man yelled "Get back there, girls! There's over 3,000 gowns" so we went walking toward the back of the room.

On our way back there, I managed to capture this chick climbing on top of a bin. That ain't a jungle gym, woman!

When Team Courtney reached the back of the room, we noticed a lot of this (above). See that girl in the blue shirt casually throwing her entire body on a HUGE pile of dresses. It appeared that every gown had been "claimed" and the doors weren't even open 2 minutes.

Here is a snapshot of the sleeve of my coat. This happened a lot while filming. Some people ask me "Hey Jamie, how do you maintain such long, beautiful nails while being an artist?" Here is my answer: I don't bite them.

Bride-to-be mayhem!

Get those gowns off the floor, ladies!

Team Courtney was unsuccessful in acquiring a gown at the Running of the Brides, but it was one of the most entertaining events I've ever attended. I've never seen so many serious women, so determined. It felt a bit like watching a National Geographic Wildlife video, but instead of lions preying on gazelle, there were women preying on dresses.

Anyways, after that Team Courtney drove out to Portsmouth, New Hampshire to visit a different Bridal Gown store and...

see "Cute Show" at Ello Gallery. I wish I had more pictures, but for some reason all the ones I took inside came out blurry. It was a very cute space and I enjoyed seeing the show!

As a "thank you" for being an awesome teammate on the gown-hunt, Courtney bought me this little notebook by Argyle Whale from Ello Gallery. It's frickin' adorable and the perfect size to carry in my bag!

In other news...

I have a new ACEO available on ebay! The auction for "Purrfect Sundae" will end on Tuesday.

and new limited edition "Gangsta" prints are now available in my etsy shop!
More soon!

new work in progress

2009-02-11T19:36:00.002-05:00

Sorry the posting hasn't been as frequent lately. I'm keeping busy working on pieces for an upcoming show at Black Maria Gallery in Los Angeles in April. Above is a shot of some completed pieces and some work in progress... more to come.

I've finished making my first limited edition print with an accompanying (and coordinating, ooh-la-la) certificate of authenticity. "Princess Bling" prints are now available in my etsy shop. These will be signed and numbered on the front in an edition of 50.
In other news, I will have a piece in Eclectix Gallery's "Eat It!" show that opens in mid-march, more on that when the date approaches. I have a few ACEOs in progress, so I should have some ebay auctions up soon, hopefully over the weekend.
Thanks for stopping by!
