This is actually the first piece I’ve done for a solo show at Fabric8! I’m very excited :) It’s going to be towards the end of October, so i’ve got some time to put something together, but i better keep busy!

there are some new prints in my shop now :)

click on image above to go to s3a’s w3ave auction website to bid! These 3 paintings are collabs by ninjagrl, dear earthling and joe vollan, painted live at last night’s w3ave event at the Henry Art Gallery on the UW campus in Seattle.

today was a fun day! i pulled out this 4″ tall ceramic figurine (with clangy little bell inside), rescued from a thrift store, and re-painted it with some ninja twists :) (including a little Turtle in the long stripey sock behind her back!)
available here

A few days ago Tracy, who covers the CTA for the Chicago Tribune’s redeye, contacted me about doing a blurb with some of my cta pieces, and she posted this today. (i DO miss the CTA!!!) (No offense, King County Metro Transit.) (Well, maybe just a little.)

Aw, now I feel bad for those long green and yellow beauties. It’s not their fault. Sorry buses. I didn’t mean it. (I miss bart, too.) At least we have orca cards here now. It’s easy to add money to them online. And they work for the ferries! I couldn’t believe they were still doing cash and transfers when I got here (although doesn’t muni in sf still do that or do they have a card system now, too?)

Yesterday I was sent this lovely image of a piece of art done by an up-and-coming new Seattle artist named Tiago. He’s only 6 years old and loves to draw! I am quite honored that he likes ninjagrl and has drawn versions of his own ninja girl. This one is great! I love her curls and her polka dot dress… and the turtles are awesome! The one that is climbing that mountain… I wonder what he is up to? It looks like an interesting story! And the one that is on her head? That definitely looks like something Turtle would do!)
It really made my day – and today too! I’m still smiling! :) And he’s inspired me to get back to my desk and start painting! Thanks, Tiago!

“patchy” and “kneetop” now available in my shop :)

fun with paint samples :)
2 little mini paintings, now in my etsy shop

All pieces from the Seattle show are available for viewing/purchase here!

“Thought Processor leads a mostly sentient existence. It is available to bounce ideas off of, also has been known to just float and listen. Beware! Don’t try to play mind games! For it ALSO has been known to cause brainstorms. Or worst yet, roll all over you and your stuff with its think tank.” – PHONETICONTROL

Eric “PHONETICONTROL” Broers is the robot-friendly artist out of San Francisco who created the “Thought Processor” character and subsequently, the traveling exhibition. He collaborated with artist Sjors Trimbach, who designed the template for the paper sculpture.
For the Seattle show over 15 local artists were asked to use digital media to create their own Thought Processor colorway, which came to life as it was folded into a 3D robot. All of the colorways are available for free download at www.phoneticontrol.com. Print out and assemble your own Thought Processor! Each artist has also created an accompanying 2D piece of art for the exhibit.
Thought Processor is focusing on collaboration one city at a time, showcasing local artists in their respective cities at local galleries. The tour thus far includes San Francisco www.super7store.com , Los Angeles www.munkyking.com, Chicago www.ohnodoom.com, Seattle urbanlightstudios.com / halogengallery.com, New York www.myplasticheart.com, and Manilla. More are being added all the time.

“THO PRO” is designed by PHONETICONTROL and sculpted by Sjors Trimbach
