What I've Been Up To! Autumn 2024

Oh my old neglected blog! I’m reviving my little corner of the web. Dusting off cobwebs and will likely give a facelift in the coming weeks.

But life has been going!

What I’ve Been Up To

I made this Chomp Chomps poster which cracks me up. It’s a pass at making a cohesive art series and I just find them so cute. I used Lisa Bardots Playful Painters brush set in Procreate which is really fun to play with.

I also recently learned how to create repeating patterns so I’ve been having fun with that. I should definitely go back in and add more Gilmore Girls icons, perhaps a key from Dragonfly Inn or a Hep Alien poster?

The second print was just messing around with random shapes. It literally took 30 seconds to make, but I like the festive happy mood it gives.

Also after a long hiatus, I got back on the pottery wheel at a local studio. While I’ve taken a step back with pottery this year, I just know I cannot live without some clay in my life, so I’ll continue to squeeze in a session here and there.

And lastly some pics from our recent California visit. While I may spend more time in NYC, I still feel like California is home. We stopped by San Diego, LA and of course San Francisco.

The Dia De Los Muertos photos are from the Mission District, SF. I made an altar with some folks at Lotusland Yoga which is an amazing studio I would recommend if you are in SF.

I first moved the Mission District over 10 years ago, on the same year my grandmother passed away. When I saw the procession and altars, I was touched. Inevitably, as time goes on I have lost more loved ones and I take comfort to think of their spirits visiting temporarily this time of year.

It’s hard to believe its nearly halfway through November already. I resolve to work on updating this blog more!
