getting ready for next month!

Bake 'n Bike is coming up soon!

apple butter!

I finally finished making the screenprints for this year's batch of apple butter. The neon colors were inspired by a Leif Goldberg print that I have. The prints are actually only 3 transparent colors -- blue, yellow, and pink -- but my overlapping them, I was able to make orange, purple, green, and a brown-ish color. I am pretty stoked about the finished product!

canning done!

I have finished canning all of the apple butter!  There are 54 half-pint jars and 2 pints.  Now I have to finish the prints for the lids!

charlottesville represent!

A couple of days ago James McNew played in NYC with Asuna, and there was a little bit of Charlottesville decorating the merch table. (Victoria's power diamond and a very little cosmic quilt painting by yours truly!)

craft fair time!

I have a couple of older (cheap!) prints and some new hand-painted sketchbooks available at the Great Gifts Holiday Shop this year. Great Gifts will be open all December from 12-8pm on weekdays and 12-6pm on weekends through Christmas Eve. There is some great stuff over there, so make sure to check it out! I will be bringing more stuff to the shop as the month goes on.

pigeon!

November has been a month of finishing up big projects. I helped Greg Kelly with his book project called Pigeon. I just helped design/print the packaging, but it was a pretty large edition. The whole project turned out beautifully and I am so happy to have participated in it's completion.

 I also have been working on cooking down all that applesauce into apple butter! There is going to be a huge amount -- more than double what I made last year. I will post pictures when I finish making the prints for the lids.

new city arts group show!

I have some work in a group show at the NPR gallery this month! The show has 11 participating artists exhibiting works generated from the theme of a "Home." It is a preview for The Haven's annual auction in December, and all proceeds from the exhibit will benefit The Haven at First and Market.

Stop by on Friday between 5 and 7 if you are in town!
