Zuzu's petals aren't there either, George Bailey.

This Friday I had the distinct honor of being invited to a prop-making party for a film. We made inventions to go in a crazy inventor's room. I made the prototype for a shark submarine, which would be very helpful in case of a tsunami.

Final poster for show, with type!

Yesterday was a wonderful day for skiing. I tackled my favorite trail... and the sun shone. Today was not as fortunate, I went out and broke my glasses on a hard spill.

The arena is empty, except for one man.

Last night was the official BOUT FOR BOOBIES!!!!!! It was so much fun to hang out with the fellow artists who did breast casts for the cause, the roller girls, and the fabulous people of Rochester who came out to support the cause! Together, we raised $4000 for the Breast Cancer Coalition of Rochester! WHAT WHAT!

My dear old friend Jen (whom you may remember from a previous post) has a fabulous new blog about the things she sends out in the mail... handmade with love, of course. She was kind enough to write nice things about me on her blog as well :) I love getting mail, what a pleasant surprise! I took the bag out shopping at the public market this weekend.

The holiday season is nearly upon us, and I finished up the image for the front of the postcard today! Very ski-centric, the postcard is about EMBRACING THE WINTER. Year after year I'm overwhelmed with the amount of people who live in Upstate New York who constantly complain when the season is upon us. Love it or leave it, suckers!

All I wanted was a good song, and a fair friend.

I recently started a local musician series, for a themed show. My first painting was finished today, Seth Faergolzia of Dufus, during the final Dufus show at the Cakeshop in Manhattan. Surprise, Seth! Sorry for the crappy photo of the painting :(

It seems like there are craft fairs going on every weekend in Rochester. This weekend a few good friends were in the Mayday Underground craft fair, so I stopped in to visit. I was reminded again how much I want to take a letterpress class when I saw Dock 2 Letterpress' booth. This poster from them suited me quite perfectly.

The holidays are quickly approaching, as is SKI SEASON. I was reminded of my love affair with old ski posters recently.

I've been sketching out some ski gestures in preparation for my holiday card :)

Showdown

I took down my show today! Four pieces sold from this one! Above is one I never blogged before, A Wolf at the Door.

This piece was a lot of fun to do, and it SOLD! Wooot! It's very close to my heart :)
