First Friday -- Studio 215 Featured Artist, Caleb Rocha

Today I'm working on a few custom pieces (must be Mother's Day gifts), and enjoying sipping on my coffee, and having the studio to myself to listen to The Vandellas as loud as I please.

I suppose at some point I'll have to start the epic cleaning required before First Friday tomorrow, but until then I'm going to enjoy this.

By the way -- because tomorrow IS First Friday, I'm proud to welcome Caleb Rocha as my first featured artist!!  He's going to bring some of his prints, and I think there's a possibility he might bring a sculpture.  Stop by my studio on the second floor, #215 (follow the Chicago flag signs!) and see what's up, tomorrow night.

These are some of his pieces that I especially love.

Randolph Street Market Season Pass Giveaway!!

So I've never done a giveaway on my own blog, and to be honest with you, I'm not even completely sure how this works... but, seeing as how I'm going to be poppin' shop at the Randolph Street Market this season, I thought it would be fun to giveaway a season pass.

Yes, I said season pass, so that's a value of $100!

It's good for two people, to every show this season (May-September).  Because this is a Chicago-based market, I'm going to have to keep it all in the family, so unfortunately this is for local residents only (anyone in the Chicago IL/Indiana area who can actually use the pass for all or most of the shows).  If you want to enter on behalf of a friend, and have it shipped to an address in the Chicagoland area, that's cool too.  :)

The giveaway ends on 03/23/2013 at midnight.

Howdy-do, birds & blokes!  Exciting news...

I'm going to be one of the artists at this upcoming show, and I'm SO looking forward to it!  What I really love about shows like this is the opportunity to meet other artists and creators.

It's taking place on February 21st from 7:30 pm until 12 midnight at Double Door in Wicker Park.

So let me explain the deal to you...

I need to sell 20 tickets in order to cover the cost of my booth fee.  They're only $10 (you would end up paying $15 at the door), and you can buy them through my artist profile page to specifically support me.  Yay, me! ;)

Go here: my artist profile, and click on the little black box that says "Buy a Ticket for This Artist".  Easy-peasy!  As I've been telling my out-of-town family and friends... even if you aren't going to be able to actually attend the event, I can still use your support.  But if you ARE in Chicago, and you CAN attend, you really should!  There are going to be a bunch of amazing artists: painters, photographers, performing artists, musicians, fashion designers, and who knows what else.  I've heard rumors of women walking around wearing nothing but body paint, and you know that sounds like a good time.

So thank you in advance, and I'll keep you updated at the time draws closer.  I'm looking forward to meeting some of you in person!
