bethie sent me a new music book! the pages are slightly larger, but the quality of the paper is delightfully similar :) did a couple new ones while here in SF… this one is available here.

2010 has started out fast … we closed the gallery at the end of the year… settling in to life without it, and our new apartment… and a trip to SF for a week and a half. Some work, some fun, some visiting people and places… always amazing flying in. Cloudy, foggy, sunny, rainy, hills, water, homes and sun rays… it is great to be back :)

pack of four 1″ ninjagrl buttons in the shop now :)

2 are new! created from 2 of my favorite paintings, “Don’t go” and “not from around here”… The other 2 designs, the digital ones with turtle, are back by popular demand!

Two of the four ninja matchbox pieces in Twilight Artist Collective’s “Lit“ show, a group show on matchboxes, curated by jenna colby.
if you are in weat seattle, check it out at the junction – lots of creative pieces!

new painting in my shop tonight

wow what happened? how is it december already?
things are happening… we just moved… and we are closing the gallery. at least for now. we’ll see what happens. it was a tough decision, but will be so nice to have more time to focus on other things. So since i can’t work upstairs at the gallery anymore, we have a larger place where i can work at home… it has a great view of the sound! it’s so amazing. Things are still in boxes and we need to get storage options set up, but i just love the afternoon light :) check it out:

happy december!

things are pretty hectic now… getting ready for our last opening of the year. And at 2316… we’ve decided to shut down halogen… at least for awhile. Time for a break and some new adventures. It’s bittersweet… excited at the possibilty of more time to spend on other things, but we’ve had a lot of fun putting together shows and met a lot of great people. We’ll probably still be putting on a couple random shows in other spaces next year – and who knows… maybe halogen will be back someday…

boo! …. spoooky?…..
there are a few new paintings on wood in my etsy shop, including this one.
ninja witch and turtle pirate are a little unsure of mr ghost joining their trick-or-treating jaunt…
well, turtle might just be feeling a bit cocky with that sword….

Kelly’s solo show opens this Friday! The pieces are amazing. In person they are even better. All on custom made circular, wood panels. The collection is so beautiful… some are so hauntingly sad… i love her color palette. If you are in Seattle i’d highly recommend stopping by!

It’s been so long since i’ve written on here… been busy lately i guess… where does the time go? :) I have to get going on a bunch of pieces for novemeber and december shows myself – yeeks!
