The Big 200- is a show that a participant in every year- and it's a really spectacular holiday show.  Its 200 artists painting 10 works of art each and they all are the same size and they all sell for the same price.  The event gets bigger every year and even more exciting every year.   The line to get into the event gets very long and when the doors opens for the event- some of the people rush in and there is a mad scramble to get the art. What I love most about the show is that I can make whatever work I want and it doesn't necessarily need to be apart of a series.  So this year I stopped by to pick up what art I had left over and I can't believe it but I sold all my work! I am so thankful that my little paintings found homes and I even more greatful that people enjoyed my work.

Over the summer they were shooting the second season of the show Portlandia.   Portlandia is a show about the ever dazzling Portland, Oregon- it has a couple of Saturday Night Live cast members that star in it- and they do different comedy sketches based on the unusualness of Portland.  Portland has been known for it being a little on the special side, but the show highlights that.  :) I was lucky enough to help out with one of the sketches with some art work. I was under top secret orders until the episode aired which it just aired this last Friday. Me and a handful of my artsy friends went to the work party and made a bunch of "bad art" for the sketch.  It was pretty exciting going to a warehouse in the industrial district and being put to work for the day.  The sketch was poking fun at the amount of art in Portland especially in coffee shops but the funny twist was that it was all supposed to be "bad".   So here are some photos from the day! art scout I still c...
  10centdesigner I have a confession to make- I am slightly addicted to watching Top Chef and last night episode the challenge was to make Pee Wee Herman a delicious pancake.  I do love a good pancake. :) Just thinking about a mouth watering delicious.. ever so tasty pancake.. makes me just want to run down my stairs and head to the kitchen and make some. I think what I love most about a pancake is the toppings- you can make it sweet or more savory. YUM! I made pancakes the other day- and my pancake of choice was banana with almonds.  How do you like your pancakes :)?  ...
I have been up to my ears in getting ready to file for taxes- and between me and my husband's we have 3 businesses to account for...  Which means- a ton of paperwork.  Hopefully fingers crossed I will have it all done tomorrow.  Woohoo! So I can finally get some well needed studio time. I took a little break from the paperwork and decided to give my little bugs their weekly bath.  Bath time is always special mommy and puppy time.  They particularly love getting their tummies scrubbed and also enjoy their little snack treat they get afterwards for being so good and for looking so handsome.    There little furry faces make me smile every time. :) What's making you smile today?...
