Permission to be Weird

My blog entry for CreateMixedMedia.com will be about weirdness this month. Hope you check it out.   I created a permission slip that allows us to be weird despite cocked eyebrows and snickers from others. Yes, I am weird but it makes me uniquely me. If you need permission to be weird, print a copy and fill it out and hang it on your wall so you don't take yourself so serious. Or do you have a friend who needs to loosen up? Then print them a copy too. Have fun and stay weird my friends.

Art Studio Don't

If you read my guest posts on CreateMixedMedia.com you'll see in June's entry I discuss living in my studio. And I don't mean "I worked really hard on those pieces, I've been just about living in my studio". Noooo!! The pictures say it all. Before and After.

We needed a rewire and my studio has become home. We're living in my studio. We'll be moving into a condo not a moment too soon.Watch Etsy for a moving sale.

You're a Real Artist

This month I wrote a guest blog post for CreateMixedMedia.com about what makes a "real artist". With it I included a certificate for you to print and hang on your wall to remind yourself that no matter what that naughty inner voice tells you; you are a real artist. Enjoy. And if you print it and hang it up, send me a picture.

This image should hold up when you print. Any issues send me a message and I'll send you one.

Ricë and upcoming articles

It's been a busy few weeks here. My interview with the amazing Ricë Freeman Zachary who is just the easiest person to talk to. Honestly, I am so relaxed talking to her even though we've never met face to face I feel like I've known her forever. Thanks to Ricë I am going to be posting how to market yourself as an artist on Create Mixed Media. If you're an artist and not sure how to get your name out there please check them out. They'll be appearing in November so watch for those.

I've also had several galleries picking up work, some new prospects like Meeka Gallery in Boise, Idaho. So if you're near Boise, please visit the new gallery. Visit my kids, make sure they're not too lonely without me. My pieces at the Clay Studio in Philadelphia sold out so I have to ship 5 more. 

And I've just restocked Clay Glass Metal Stone Gallery in Lake Worth. It was looking a bit sparse, my apologies. But you'll find a lot more goodies on the shelf. Florida Craftsmen Gallery, you're next.

The piece accompanying this entry can be seen in the display case at Clay Glass Metal Stone. So if you're in the neighborhood please stop by and check out the new work. Happy Friday to all!!
