WOW… a blog post 2 days in a row! It’s nice being on vacation. But what warrants a blog post so soon after my last one you may ask? Well, good thing you asked because there’s a few things. 3 of which are my pretty betta fish that I can’t stop starting at. They are so pretty.

They were looking extra fine today. So I had to take a picture to show them off.

The real occasion though is that I just found out about Dr. Horrible’s Sing-Along Blog! I am a huge Firefly/Serenity fan, and I am so excited to see Joss Whedon’s new movie. AND BEST OF ALL it’s free! It’s only going to be airing online in 3 installments starting on July 15th! It goes away though on July 20th, so make sure you cancel all plans and sit your butt down in front of the computer to see this EVENT. Go to www.drhorrible.com to see the teaser. I can’t wait!

Today I reached 900 sales on Etsy. I think that’s a cause to celebrate! I am currently on vacation from Powell’s Books. I was about to go insane if I had to shelve one more book. I’ve got so much planned for my next week, I’m excited! Most importantly I hope to do some painting, we’ll see how that goes. I may end up playing video games with August all week.

I’ll be at Crafty Wonderland in July! I’m very excited. I’ll be there with my good friend Aubrey and her luscious lotions. It’s going to be fun so come see me, okay? I promise to have lots of pretty prints for you.

Oh bloggie, how I’ve neglected you. I’ve been painting and painting and painting, in preparation for my month-long show at In Other Words. If you find yourself in North East Portland anytime this month, you should stop by and take a looksy! It’s a lovely non-profit feminist bookstore. Address: 8 NE Killingsworth/ Portland,OR 97211. Buy some books, buy some art, support a non-profit business and make the world better. They’ll also be carrying a few of my prints.

I have many new things to show you. Some of the originals are not available in my shop yet because they are at the bookstore!

Panda Girl (I love this one!)

She’s Not Your Bunny

Another Pretty Face

Goldfish

Chicken and Fish

I had to show you the little upside down Matisse I put on the book. I think it’s cute that the fish likes Matisse.

I have been planting up a storm when I’m not painting. It’s been a busy month. Soaking up what little sunshine we’ve gotten this rainy season, barbecuing when I can, and spending time with friends and family. (Just watched Death at a Funeral, and it had me laughing at every moment!) When it’s a little brighter I’ll take pictures of my progressing garden. It’s come far from the muddy flat mess it was last year! I’m rather proud of it. Hope you like the new works. I am going apply for the July show at Crafty Wonderland with a good friend of mine that makes luscious lotions. So maybe I’ll see you all then!
