I sold at the sale, but not as well as I can sell

It's Monday..... I can't believe how fast this past weekend went. Bargain Hunters 101 went well on Sunday, but not as well as I had hoped, I still have things leftover. I'm moving across town in a couple of weeks and need it gone! I'm going to try this week to post on etsy a bunch of the prints and horse blocks that I have. The prints are all Little Zoo prints, but printed on the different paper than what I currently sell. Stay tuned for an etsy link to the sale items.

Sale in Portland

I'll be at the Crystal Ballroom (Portland, OR) this Sunday from noon - five for Bargain Hunting 101. I'm cleaning out my shelves and marking most things at 50% off. I'll have lots of Little Zoo prints, horse boxes, notebooks, etc.

It should be a fun sale. Please stop by and say hi if you're in the area.

ski day

This weekend I headed up to Mount Hood to ski. I'm trying to ski every weekend this winter. The downside is I tend to not take a camera with me when I ski. So for the moment, I have a lot of pictures from the passenger seat...

That would be Mt Hood peaking over the trees. It was such a beautiful day today, unexpected from the dismal ski report that was sent out this morning.

I'm hoping to take a camera or two out on the slopes in February. Right now I don't have a camera small enough to carry comfortably or safely during a whole day of skiing.

Swings, holga cross processed

I'm sorry I've been gone from posting. I'm at a loss of what to post at the moment. I'm suffering from a creative block, I have been for the past 4-5 months. About the same time I started my new job and made some life changes. It's hard when blogging to know what to share, what not to share and when sharing becomes whining, so I've just chosen not to post.

I'm hoping to change that and start sharing some old work and possibly some new work. I'm trying to discipline myself into making time each day to photograph. The inspiration is starting to creep back in and the camera has been coming out more often, as well as the sketch pad.

upcoming show

After a fun weekend hanging out at The Cleaners in Portland for Sunday's Best, I wanted to be sure I let everyone know about where else I'll be this holiday season.

Currently I have a show up at Black Wagon on Mississippi (Portland, OR) till next Tuesday (December 8th).

Crafty Wonderland - December 13th at the Oregon Convention Center 11am-7pm

You can also find my work by visiting the list of stockists on my website or by ordering from me via etsy or my online shop.

new job

Hello... remember me? I didn't forget about you, but I've been at a loss for words the past month. I started a new job, a full time job, a "real" job as some have put it. I'm back to working as a project manager in the design field and loving it. But while I've been doing that I've also been trying to make sense of my life, my art and my creativity.

I haven't stopped photographing, although at the moment I have not taken many pictures. I'm going to spend the holiday season making art, doing a few local shows and filling the shops that carry my work as well as orders I receive online. I hope to take a short break after the holidays to clean up my website, finalize some ideas and get back into the creative mode that drives me to share my photography with you.

For those that order on etsy or my website, I'm only shipping 1-2 days a week right now. So please order early if you'd like to have things by Christmas.

Polaroid is back!

I've been such a bad blogger lately, but writing and reading. I can't seem to find my stride at the moment and inspiration has been hard for me to translate into my own work. I'm hoping in the next couple of months to clear my head, find my beat and get ready for the winter season.

A happy note today, Polaroid is bringing back integral film!
