The MAC

Last night was a nice night out. James and I went to the McKinny Avenue Contemporary for the opening of the new show. Afterwards we got a chance to hang out with one of the artists at the Comsic Cafe for a nice dinner and conversation. Overall a really nice evening. Something I hope we can do again. I get the list of art opening each week, and I really need to go to more of them.

The art posting today, you might notice, is not mine, but that of Kimberly Bradshaw. It is her Mixed Media Work - You Are What You Eat, that she did for the MAC show that we went to last night. Click on the photo to go to her blog. She is a neat person and a long time friend of James’s. Her work is nifty too.

Summer Hair

9×11.5″ Acrylic on Canvas Paper

I have been working on organizing the studio…Again. I swear it needs it ever other month. While doing so, I came across a portfolio filled with some work that it seems that I haven’t even scanned or offered for sale before. So now I am working on scanning them, and posting them on etsy and cafepress.

This one is Summer Hair. She is now available in my etsy shop and my cafepress store.

Updates updates updates

Just a quick little note to let you all know that I just updated the 99 Cats blog.

And now James - the other half of Be Mused Art - now has his own blog where he is showcasing his photography.

Check them both out.

Cuthulhu Ink Drawing!

I know, after all the cuteness, this is a bit different. But I couldn’t help it. The males in the household were having a marathon of Calls 4 Cuthulhu episodes and it all just kinda got stuck in my head. I actually did this shortly before my computer crashed. I was going through some things when I came accross this and realized that I had not shared this particular obsession that James has infected my darling baby boy with. But in honor of the boys in the home we have Cuthulhu.

Okay, and yes, I admit it, I like the the show too. Makes me actually considering reading the books once the Topamax stops messing with my brain enough to let me read a good book again.
And of course you can find some fun gift items featuring this drawing on cafepress.

Kritter Girl and Baby

Here we have Kritter Girl and Baby. Somehow Kritter Girl finds herself with an arm full of tiny dog dressed like a a baby. When I showed the painting to Katie, she assured me that Kritter Girl must have just resuced this cute little dog from some other girls that dressed it like a baby, because Kritter Girl would never do something like that.

ArtFest is over

I am home. I am tired. The first thing I did when I got home was take a shower. It was hot out there in the Texas heat trying to sell art. I think that the urge to do this must be some sort of insanity, and I am looking forward to doing it all again in 3 weeks at City Arts Celebration in the Dallas Arts District. I hope to see you all there. Maybe I will get some new works done between now and then. I now I came home with several fewer than I had at the start of this weekend.
Chris is not thrilled that the Dragon Eatting Pizza found a new home. But Katie was thrilled that the one inspired by her did.
I will admit that I was surprised at the number of originals that sold at this show. And if I had prints for a half dozen others, I could have sold a dozen each of those too. So I am going to have to order mat board this week ad take a print inventory and get prints done, and try to find time to create enough orginal paintings in three weeks for another show. Let’s all cross our fingers on that one.
