i’m heading into the hospital for a minor ‘procedure’ to deal with the on-going saga of my freaking right eyelid. they are removing the cyst in the lid today and i’ll be off the computer for a few days over the long weekend to allow recovery time. too bad a few days won’t take care of the massive bruising i’ll have for the next 2-3 weeks. <sigh> it really has been a year for me…

BUT before i forget, i wanted to remind my local peeps that i will be attending portobello west this sunday, august 31 with a whole bunch of new artwork including a few new originals and BIG giclees, buttons and the most adorable button magnets.

the portobello west fashion+art show runs from 12-6pm this sunday… so if you have a little time this sunday before the reality of fall and back to school smack you in the face, please come on by and check out the amazing artists, fashion and jewelry.

admission is $2 and if you tell me that you read about portobello on my blog, i’ll refund you the price of admission. think of it like validating your parking ticket, except your parking is free and now you’ll be able to shop the coolest vancouver fashion+art scene in town.

oh! before i forget… i wanted to mention that a number of my artworks are also now available in the great little shop called ‘the velvet room boutique’. the boutique, a lovely shop full of great fashion, jewelry and art, is located on 41st ave in the kerrisdale neighbourhood of vancouver. if you are in the area, please do visit their store… they have lovely things.  here is their website

one more piece of biz before i sign off…

i will be reopening registration for a fall session of the art of transference online workshop series, so please watch the blog for notification by mid-september announcing registration. let your art friends know about the workshop series if they are interested in image transfer - it’s a really in-depth class and i’ve gotten great feedback on the course content.

registration will be running from mid-september to september 30, with classes commencing on october 1.

have a great long weekend my friends! see you in september =)
