Boston Arts Festival 2013

The fall-sale season and the Boston Arts Festival are rapidly approaching. My summer efforts are coming together and I'm getting paintings all packed up and labeled for next weekend.

Boston Ahts Festival

This will be my first sale of the Fall season!
The festival will showcase of over 50-juried visual artists from the Boston area as well as a performing arts & interactive arts program.This year do not miss:
 
Aug 31st. At 9:00pm fireworks display.
and the grand opening of the new carousel.
 
• Boston: Christopher Columbus Waterfront Park
• Sat, Aug 31st – Sun, Sep 1st, 12 – 6pm. 

 This year I have titled my series of works "Fly Away home" most of the paintings in this series developed from exploring the idea of home, connections and travel. Most of these paintings continue to include wild woodland girls and fuzzy creatures.

Over the summer I've been continuously working on numerous projects and trying to finish up a little Graphic Novel. As practice for my fancy comic my husband (Tomas Swift) and I have been working on a few quick storyboards. I have compiled these little comics and some sketches into a new photocopied zine project that includes all kinds of nifty animals, words and mini story-lines. I'm excited to announce it's debut at the Boston Arts Festival.

For my Fall sales I will also have a new set of pin-back buttons, frog stickers and the limited edition fancy prints from my Kickstarter.

-hope you can stop by.

Fall is in the Air

Yesterday, with the bustling of students it was evident that fall in Boston will soon be upon us.The crisp air always jump-starts my mind and inspires me to draw up a storm.
Fall may be my favorite season, but also my busiest time of year.

This year I will once again be attending the Boston Arts Festival ( I will be at booth #26)

Summertime

I just finished the first semester of my Graphic Design certificate program at MassArt.
Pheew.. I did not realize that I had not updated my blog since I started classes.
I have been really busy with school, but I did manage to sneak in a few art projects during the semester:

(Meerkat and Wombat)

I just recently finishes a quick illustration for a Paul Frank Contest:

This summer I will be practicing my newly learned graphic design skills by trying to put a short comic book together. I'm also planning on getting some more stickers, buttons and prints. My inventory is so low right now I only had about 10 prints and 10 buttons to sell at the FPAC spring art walk, whoops!

Back to the drawing board for the summer.
I will be doing the Boston Arts Festival and FPAC open studios before I go back to school in the fall.
see you then.
