2 shows and mistakes

The image has nothing to do with the post, but I really like posts when they have pictures. It's something I'm going to try to do more often.

I'm ready to get back to the old format. The candy is all gone. And I just finished up getting ready for my second show of the month. Here are the show details:

Tonight is a show at Hub Collective in Portland. It's a design firm that I use to work for that is having an open house. My work is up along with Hadley Hutton and Pattern People. It's pretty amazing to see all the work in the space and I love seeing all the animals up on the wall. I will try my best to take pictures.

Tomorrow is the art walk at Retroactive Kids in Seattle. I'm excited to put my work up for the months of June and July. I will also be stopping by to see Sabrina over at So Much Fun and gorging on a cupcake or two.

What I like:
I've been seeing a lot of Something's Hiding in Here lately and I really love what they come up with. The wishbones, the acorns, I'd love to get my hands on a couple glitter elephants. I'm amazed and jealous of their wittiness.

What I've been doing:
Trying to work on my project for Old School at the Uppercase Gallery this summer. I've come up with some ideas, but am feeling like I haven't found the really good idea yet. I'd like to so a small series, maybe incorporate the polaroid into something bigger.... I'm just not sure. It's been bugging me, because I'd like to do something memorable.

Where I've been: It's more where I'm going. I'm heading over to Hub to start my first Thursday and then making my way down to Grassy Knoll to check out Amy Ruppel's new show. With a stop at Quality Pictures along the way. Tomorrow I'm heading up to Seattle to put my work at Retroactive Kids.

What I've been thinking: What to do with the mistakes? I have a whole big box of mistake prints that I've been collecting. They have either been trimmed wrong or the printer spit some ink in a corner. The mistake part is so minimal that I can't throw them away. Any ideas? I'm thinking of matting and framing....

We ran across your blog while updating links on our own, and find your prints lovely. Any chance you'd donate a few of those mistake prints to the PSU Writing Center? (The university doesn't give us anything to put on the walls here.)
