…art overload…

trio.jpg Over the weekend I went to the AAF to check out Aurora and Lisa’s work in person. I almost can’t believe it was the first time I saw Lisa’s work live. And I loved them. Her pieces are quite amazing. The gallery that they are both involved with had really great pieces. The Boy and I walked around and were surprised by how much art is out there that we don’t respond to. I took notes on some of the artists I liked, but I have to see if I really love their stuff or it was just a crush. Or was it wow that is better than anything else I have seen in a couple of booths. I responded to all the pieces with resin. Anyone out there know about resin? Is it hard to use? Am I just jumping on a bandwagon? Do you have to paint on wood panels to use resin? Our brains began to get slow like honey and our stomachs started to rumble after a couple passes through. So we decided to leave and then we saw one of my favorite people - Stefan Killen. He works on the same floor as Oliphant and he is a talented photographer, graphic designer, and all around amazing guy. I worked on a bunch of things this weekend. I did another little color face (need to put a little paint on her) and I almost finished the last bird bot for plush rush. Also started thinking about my first spt for november. The photo above is from last weekend when I went to Aurora's open studio. I love water towers. I don't even know why.

    hey! yes, art fairs are overload places… for sure!

    resin is quite toxic…. and it comes in parts that you have to mix together to make them activate. [like epoxy]. it does need to be on wood or some other hard surface or it cracks. it’s like hard hard plastic. [even though it basically is tree sap]… it’s cool stuff, but not easy!

    sounds like you had a busy busy weekend!
