I want to say welcome to all the new members of the mailing list. A lot of people signed my book at Artomatic. Thanks to all of you.
I know it is a bit short notice, but my studio will be part of an open house tomorrow as part of Greenbelt Community Center's Artful Afternoon. The event runs from 1-5 and has activities for kids of all ages - including henna tattoos, making wire mobiles, and a performance of "Mutts Gone Nuts" show which include trained dogs as part of the show. More Information
--News—
Artomatic was personally a huge success for me. I did sell quite a few works but, more importantly, I got to share my artwork with a huge audience. I received so many positive comments from other artists and art lovers alike. I gave a lot of my time to Artomatic (volunteering) and it was worth every second.
One souvenir I got, partly in thanks to Artomatic, is my first tattoo. This is something I have wanted for some time and after participating this year I knew the timing could not be better. I got one my knives tattooed on my back. (pictures)
Also, I have recently signed on to showcase some work at DEKKA on U Street in downtown DC. DEKKA is a boutique gallery right off the U Street-Cardozo Metro station which showcases local fashion designers, jewelry designers, musicians, and artists. There are a lot of wonderful works there from many talented area artisans. I have not moved in any of my work yet - but I am hoping to do so sometime this month.
I am also talking to a local writer about collaborating in a very interesting project. The project may include a stop motion video of me creating a work. This is something I have been wanting to do for a while, but never looked into.

This piece is not completed - has only started, but I am liking where it is going. When the commissions are done, I will be able to get back to this.
