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.
You can find out more about it here
Wow, I had my first official pop-up market last Sunday and am now in 3 more this summer.
I am so impressed with my interactions with everyone that I want to do this again, and again!
It sure beats tailgating on the yard sales in my neighbourhood and popping up at the beach or on the sidewalk. Having an organized venue and event is the bee’s knees and I’m smitten!
Starting with June 26 at the Vancouver Mural Festival.
The next one is the Wayfarer Market and a group design show at a Gallery.
I will definitely be sharing all of the details here. I would love to see your face so please stop by.
Strip payment is available and everything is $25 or 2 for $40 with a variety of pins and stickers too.
Here it is, my residency, I will begin July 28th and end September 3 spending 18 days consistently making art.
Have you heard of the Thrive Art Community? Check them out, a great community for women in art.
Here is my residency statement, we created the statements together on a community Zoom call with a few break-out room sessions and feedback loops.
Ok, here goes. While it's fresh.
Commitment - I am committed to furthering my art practice during this residency by developing my linework with spray paint and painting with brushes on a variety of different sub-straights.
I will also take a morning to go out with my bicycle to wheat paste some posters I have ready to go. I will probably make some more in a different colour ink during the residency too. This is a form of guerrilla marketing I like that I adopted from Keri Smith.
I will attend the September Reflection meeting and check in regularly with the network.
Project - to work with my lines on velum over 6 - 40" photographic prints published in Vogue Italia that are ready to go. I purchased the velum on Saturday. I want to create a show with this series and release an NFT that is ready to go at the show.
To also work with spray paint to learn how to create small hard lines.
Time - Wednesday, Thursday and Friday 9 am - 5 pm with limited phone and computer use during this time. Lunch for an hour each day. An early morning paddleboard on one or two of the mornings, I live really close to the beach and usually get up at 6 am to have a smoothie, meditate and do yoga, if the weather is good I pop down for a paddle.
**During the first hour of each of these days I need to make some marketing phone calls. There was someone who said once to do the hard stuff first during the day and this is something I have been putting off so I want to take the time now to do this and then put down the phone after 10 am and make art.
Space - my live workspace. It is ready. I have been collecting materials for the residency for the past week. I have spray paint, paint, paper, brushes and floor space. I even have a bit of fabric ready if I want to try more hand-painted lines.
Accountability - I would really like a buddy to check in with for 30 minutes or so via face-time. I find this very helpful and also staves off the feeling of loneliness that can creep in for me because I live alone and it chased me a lot during the pandemic. A buddy has been found and our check-ins are arranged for Mondays at 10 am.
How is your summer going? Got any projects in the cue? I would love to hear about them.
#StickerCanada reached out to me and asked if I would be interested in a collaboration.
Of course!
Their correspondence was quick, effective and easy. I ordered some 2”x2” square Art Paper Stickers (Uncoated). I choose the illustration I did because I wanted to print it square. I had previously done it as a circle, I like the square better. I like the texture of these stickers and would not hesitate to order more.
Thank you, Sticker Canada for reaching out and for the amazing collaboration. I look forward to using you again in the future for all of my sticker needs.
Free Admission Photography and Illustration celebrates two amazing collaborations.
