Wintertime in Chicago and promo postcards!

As one of my goals is to get better at self promoting, after starting a facebook page earlier in the month, I also had some postcards printed using artwork I made in spirit of the season and mailed a bunch out before holidays! Now I can go hibernate, right? :P

...and I'm off to the mailbox!

Postcard show winner!

Raph won his bid on my "zhu" postcard from The Postcard Show Vol. II. He showed me where he hung it up - right next to his super cute little panda! ahaha....Panda won't be hungry.
Congrats on winning and thank you for the support!

Postcard Show Vol. II photos + SNAG tonight @9pm!

TONIGHT I'm doing SNAG again, come to the Cobalt on Main St. to see some live painting by other amazing artists as well. The lineup can be found on the facebook page.

Possibility of tacos or cute indian cowboys at night market? Maybeee...you'll have to come and find out! (well they will definitely be in printed form!)

The Postcard Show Vol. II

Next weekend (June 7 + 8) I will be part of the Postcard Show Vol. II which is being held at Ayden Gallery in Chinatown. There will be tons of great, new and exciting work. All cards are unique creations by artists and up for silent auction so you could come away with some awesome original pieces (plus they're quite versatile - frame them or send them as a missive to a lover..or a hater)! There is a $5 admission fee to cover event costs - cheap for weekend outing and totally worth it!! (PLUS - I will also be manning the station at the Chinatown Night Market, so you can swing by and say hi and grab food post-show!)

A sneak peek of the cards I submitted:

Hope to see you there!
