Fresh New Sketchbook

A friend of mine told me about The Sketchbook Project: http://arthousecoop.com/projects/sketchbookproject and I couldn't wait to sign up! While signing up you have to pick a theme for the sketchbook, and I chose: I'm Sorry I Forgot You. My life has gone through some changes over the past few months, and this project gives me the chance to refocus on everything that makes me--me, and also what makes me happy.

I just got my sketchbook in the mail, and I can't wait to get started. All of the participating artists need to hand their book in by January. Each book has it's own barcode which will allow it to be placed into the Brooklyn Art Library system. You can then track it while it goes on tour to the following cities:

Brooklyn, NY   Austin, TX   San Francisco, CA   Portland, ME   Atlanta, GA   Chicago, IL

Mermaid Parade 2010

This post is a little late, but the Coney Island Mermaid Parade was Saturday June 19th. My friends and I love making costumes together, and this year was so much fun. We decided to go with the Coney Island sideshow theme, with a nautical twist of course! I was in my Lobster costume as Krissy Krustacea, and marched along side Suzi Squid, Electra Eel, and Gigi Gelee. It took us a few months to get all of our ideas together, and to make the actual costumes/banner/cooler. But as always, we had a great time :)
