My stickers made it to Europe!

A wonderful fan took a stack of my stickers to Europe on her vacation and put them everywhere.

Then they took photos, printed them and gave them to me. HOW COOL IS THAT?!

Thank you Marilyn, you are one of a kind.

Doris Land, a place to meet and talk everything art.

Community is key for me, it’s been my New Year’s word for the past few years. COVID sent me on a path of self-discovery and that path led me to connect. I was lacking it so much that I became depressed, or at least I think I realized my depression was a symptom of isolation. So this year has been a year of connection for me.

I have been renting space at Doris Land since January 2022. The studio is run by Alex Waber, an incredible photographer and creative human being. To further this net of connection I pitched the idea of an Art Collective to Alex. This week we hosted our first one and it was a huge success.

If you are in Vancouver follow Doris Land on Social Media, we are going to host these events once a month and I am looking forward to growing this community.

Vancouver Mural Festival Block Party, this weekend!

Vancouver Mural Festival is hosting a mini-market this weekend at Main and 5th, just behind the hotel.

Guess who will be there as a vendor with her merch on Sunday 10-3? Me!

Want to know what I will have there? Stop by and see me in person, the rest of the summer I will be selling in person only so keep an eye on my blog for my pop-up information. There are three more to go over the next few months. Keep an eye on my Instagram too, there will be information popping up in my stories.

I will have up-cycled clothing featuring my illustrations, pins, stickers and goody bags too.

Square payment is available.

This block party is featuring one of the biggest mural projects the festival has created to date.

Creating and minting an NFT Live!

I had the opportunity to create lines live and it was so much fun.

I used a few prints from my Vogue portfolio and placed vellum over top. I created the lines on the vellum.

We posted the footage to Instagram and made it an NFT, you can find it here

Special thanks to CocoNFT and OVHCloud for providing me with such an incredible opportunity.

A mural for the BCSPCA

I reached out to my local Facebook group in August of 2021.

Here is the post;

Hello.

I am a mural artist who is building my portfolio.

I want to offer two murals, one to a business owner and one to a resident here in this group with no fee attached.

I do line work from photos.

I can take the photo or you can provide one.

I have created a 5 panel mural for Gordon House and painted a mural on a container during Lumiere this year.

I want to add more murals to my portfolio.

I am double vacc'd and will wear a mask while I am working.

A mural takes a few hours to create and then paint so it could take up to two days depending on the size of your wall and what you would like me to paint.

I would project a 4x6 photograph onto the chosen wall, trace out the shapes and then paint them.

Reply to this post or send me an email photography@freeadmission.ca

The result was one neighbour responding who works at the SPCA. I was delighted because I love animals. I finally got to complete the mural eight months later, after having many restrictions for COVID, a fire and well basically anything else you could imagine. I got to paint it and I am thrilled.

This process and the success of this project coming to light is truly a testament that follow-up works.

So whatever it is that you have your eye on, keep at it and don’t take No for an answer.
