Etsy Shop Closure & Revamp

Friday, May 10, 2013

shopclosure

+++

Hello friends! Exciting news: I’m getting married! Oh, wait. You already knew that. Anyhow, because I’m getting married, I’m closing my beolved Etsy Shop for a few weeks. And while it’s closed I’m going to shake things up a little bit: new products and new prints!

What does that mean for you? It means if you want to place an order or are in love with something in my shop, purchase it before May 15, because I’m closing that day and won’t reopen until June 12 (and some of the items you see in my shop will no longer be there when I reopen).

Have a wonderful weekend. I’ll be back Monday with a Reconstructionist who happens also to be of my favorite poets.

THIS is a product launch I have been excited about for a long time. I am so happy to announce the release of a new line of tea towels I designed for Poketo! There are two patterns: the Herringbone and the Pyramids.

First, the Herringbone:

And the Pyramids:

tea-towels-pyramids_01-460x460

These 100% pure linen tea towels are naturally more absorbent and stronger than cotton, and will get softer with use over time. Ever so versatile, you can use it for a multitude of everyday tasks – as a placemat, kitchen décor, gift wrap, or to dry dishes and leafy greens. Because they’re so versatile, you can use them anywhere from your kitchen to your workspace and even your bathroom!

You may remember this post in which I introduced Tender Buttons: Objects, the book of poetry by Gertrude Stein that I illustrated last year. That book is released today and available for sale on Amazon, Chronicle’s website and other bookstores around the country! The book has over 40 illustrations of Stein’s fascinating wordplay. Here are some of my favorite spreads:

Julia Morgan Painting at Kala Institute Auction

Friday, March 15, 2013

I am so excited that this year I was invited to participate in the Kala Institute Spring Auction & Exhibition. Kala-fornia: State of the Art 3 is a two week exhibition of works by “prominent California artists.” The exhibition culminates on the night of Saturday, April 27th with a lively gala event. I am very grateful to have been invited to participate in this amazing fundraiser & show.

I am donating one of my most recent works to the exhibition — a portrait of architect Julia Morgan, named (aptly) Julia Morgan (see above). The piece is 30×36 inches, gouache on wood.

Along with original artworks there will be unique art-related items and experiences offered up for auction at the event. And, of course, fine wine and exquisite food will be served.

Proceeds from this auction provide direct support for Kala Art Institute’s programs for artists and the public. If you are interested in attending (or bidding on my piece, above), you can learn more about the evening and purchase tickets here.

Have a great weekend, all!

Land of Nod :: Twelve Days of Christmas Ornaments

Wednesday, December 12, 2012

I’m so honored to have my new 12 Days of Christmas Ornaments (and an interview) featured on The Land of Nod’s blog today! The Land of Nod is a company I’ve worked with for a few years, and they are known for working with independent artists and designers. Last year, they asked me to design 12 ornaments based on the 12 Days of Christmas, and I jumped at the chance. The final designs for nine of the ornaments are below. You can order the ornaments here. Each ornament is hand-painted by an artisan with my designs making each set unique (they will look slightly different than the original designs you see below).

Enjoy!

{“Can I haz cookie?” :: Wilfredo at my studio sale yesterday}

I want to thank everyone who came out to my studio sale yesterday. I was blown away at the attendance and the sales. To everyone who showed up, and especially to those of you who were able to purchase something from me: THANK YOU. I am so grateful that you support my work. I could not do what I do without you. And I could not adequately express that to everyone yesterday in person. Thank you, thank you.

My Big Cartel Shop has far fewer things in it after yesterday, but for those of you who are still interested in making a purchase of original work before the holiday I’ve still got some good stuff in there. My last day to ship before closing my shop for the holidays is December 19 (and if you want something to arrive before Christmas, I advise purchasing by end of day Tuesday, December 11. If you do, it will ship December 12. I only ship on Wednesdays.)

Happy Monday!

This is My World :: Installation and Work for Sale

Tuesday, November 13, 2012

{My photos taken right after the installation. Left wall and right wall for This is My World}

You may remember that on November 2 I had an opening at Rare Device in San Francisco. The show is called This is My World and it is a collection of small paintings, handmade books, decorated book covers and vintage photos, and zines. All of the paintings and small objects are for sale on the Rare Device website, and what is not for sale on the website (the vintage photos, book covers, handmade books and zines) are for sale in the store. I hope you will go visit if you are in the San Francisco area! Rare Device is a gorgeous store filled with beautiful things. The show will be up until the week before Christmas.

The evening was really fun and loads of my friends and supporters showed up for the opening, which always means so much to me.

{With three of my close friends at the opening: Mati, Jen and Tiffany. Also: Louie, who belongs to my friend Diana. Photo by the awesome Derek Macario of SF Station}

As mentioned above, Derek Macario from SF Station photographed the event. You can see the rest of Derek’s photos from my opening here. Thank you Derek!

Speaking of original paintings and drawings, (and I’ll talk more about this later this week), I just updated my Big Cartel Shop with new pieces, and adjusted prices on much of the existing work in the shop. I hope you will check it out!
