New Experiences

I recently participated in Holidays at the Haight on Friday night. It's a holiday market with vendors of all kinds. It runs Fridays and Saturdays in December.
I only signed up for last Friday and this coming Friday, December 14th. It was kind of last minute and also my first time doing something like this, so I didn't want to overwhelm myself.
There weren't many people there but it was still a good experience. I had quite a few people interested despite that. Hopefully there will be more next Friday! I will also be setting up my space differently. At the last show, I wasn't sure how much space I was going to be working with. Now I have a much better idea of what I want to do!

New Finished Portrait

And this time it's a person! I pretty much like how it turned out but of course I see things after that I wish I did differently. Heh heh. I'll post pictures of this later.

On another note - I am participating in HOLIDAYS at the HAIGHT! An Elgin Holiday market. It runs the next 2, possibly 3, weekends in December. It's at 166 Symphony Way, Elgin, IL 60120.

I will be there on Friday, December 7th from 4-8pm and Friday, December 14th from 4-8pm. This is my first actual craft fair type event. I'm excited and nervous!

Come see me there!

October!

Oh, I'm such a slacker with posting on here. I really have to work on that. :)
I have gotten another pet portrait done, Theodore. I love how this one turned out. I think it's my favorite portrait that I have done. And it's a cat, not a dog!
I'm in the process of working on a few more right now, the husky is still in progress, Spencer and Autumn. Along with my dad's tattoo sketch, which he was giving me a little shit for. I'm sorry dad, but I have a very limited  amount of free time! Especially last month and this one now, with the Halloween party & such.
I'm working on some awesome Halloween projects right now too. This year our decoration theme is a haunted forest. :) I just need to get paid so I can go get some supplies!
On another, unrelated to my art, note..I got a promotion at work. I am now a manager at the doggie daycare. :) so happy. Last month I got the opportunity to work at an animal shelter, which I loved! But then it got my bosses at the daycare to see how valuable I was there I guess. I talked with them about a manager position, which one boss was like maybe eventually. So I said, ok keep me in mind but I'm going somewhere I can advance. Next day-I'm manager! Bam. So I sadly had to leave the shelter. But I do plan on volunteering! Just have to get through this month.
