Welp, it’s February.
February 16, 2010
And I haven’t posted a blog since November. Gah. I suck big fat gangrene infested toes, I know.
In art news, my work has been hanging at the new Mr. Pickles shop at the MARRS building on 20th street for about a month now. It will continue to hang there through February. There are a couple of new pieces up there – if you’re in the area, swing by to check ‘em out! For the rest of you, I unfortunately haven’t taken pictures of the new stuff yet so I can’t post it here. Sorry! In lieu of that, I figure I will update you all on what has been happening with me outside of the art-making business. Let’s see now…
I have been doing a bit of modeling, mostly for my friend Andrew Crabtree. He’s been doing a set of pictures based on the DVD covers for the TV series Chuck. I also did some pictures for him back in September, which you can see here. Andy’s a great guy, and he’s always looking for new models. If you want to take some pictures with him, feel free to contact him via his webpage. Andy is also working on a silhouette series – this is my contribution to that one:
Those are a pair of my mother's cutoff shorts from the 70's. True vintage, ha!
I also did a job a few weeks ago for George Streng. He was doing a fabulous series on subjects with tattoos, now showing at the Blue Wing Art Gallery in Woodland, Ca. You can see some photos from his series here.
What else, what else…oh yes, the bands!
Sound Kitchen (my cover band) has been doing very well, and, in fact, had an excellent show at Folsom Hotel a couple weeks ago. Our next show coming up will be at Heavenly Ski Resort on February 27th. We’ve played up at Heavenly before and it’s always a screamin good time. Next show in the area will be back at Folsom Hotel on March 5. I’m hoping for another good crowd – if you’re in the area, come on out for the party!
My originals band, Jack Rabbit Special, is in the process of recording demos. I’ve been sick and/or out of town the past two weeks, so my cohorts have been spending my time away laying down their instrumental tracks. Hopefully I’ll be able to do vocals over the next few weeks…next step website and marketing, here we come! My entire experience with the Jack Rabbit guys has been very positive – I joined them back in May or June of last year, and since then we’ve been able to write an album’s worth of songs. I’m very much loving the experience of writing and practicing…I fully expect to enjoy performing live with these guys just as much. We shall have to wait and see what the future holds there.
In other news, my friend Shannon’s Sweet Valley High and Gilmore Girls blogs have both been receiving quite a bit of attention lately. Check them out for yourself! She’s an excellent purveyor of snark, that one! Oh, I’m so proud of her!!
Okay, that’s it for the moment. I will be a good girl and take some pictures of my new art very soon, I promise! Love and hugs for all!!
