*FUNDED!*
March 10th, 2012
The Golden Moth Illumination Deck has been successfully funded through my Kickstarter campaign! Thank you to all my backers for your support :) If you haven't heard about the project, click on the link above to learn more.
Now I have to finish the artwork and send it off to the printers. Then I have to pack and ship 127 packages! I will also list the card deck, postcards, notecards, poster, and bookplates in my online shop, Sprout Head, in late April/early May. If you'd like to receive announcements related to the cards, my shop, and other art news, please subscribe to my E-mailing list. You can manage your subscription to receive updates once a month or less frequently.
Once again,
THANKS

YAY!!!

You can find out about the project here by watching a video, reading more about it, and deciding if you want to pledge a donation! There are all kinds of neat rewards at different pledge amounts, so check it out. YEAH!!!

ORGANIZE: I was chosen as one of 8 artists to contribute drawings to An Artful Agenda, a shop that sells awesome illustrated planners and agenda books. There is a variety of art-filled products to choose from, including a Lesson Planner, Universal Planner (undated), blank Diary, and August to August Planner (back to school!)

* NEW BOOKBINDING CLASS & RVyAy! *
May 15th, 2010
hello, the Visual Arts Center of Richmond has added a new Bookbinding Class to the Summer roster. My "Intro to Bookbinding: Decorative Sewn Spines" class is full, but I'm offering another called "Intro to Bookbinding: Cut, Fold, Glue, & Stitch."

Check out the class registration page here.
Also, I will be selling my art at a craft/music event called "RVyAy!" - a two day market extravaganza of records, vintage, and arts and crafts, to benefit Gallery5 and Books on Wheels. Shoppers will buy from local artists and vendors while supporting two amazing organizations that give so much to the Richmond community!

7:00 to 10:00 pm
at Gallery 5, Richmond, VA
