***all apologies! I wrote this on Saturday with the intent of posting it on Sunday, and then completely spaced it.***
Firstly, a plug for the Silent Art Auction at North Seattle Community College. It will be on Tuesday, Nov. 30 from 10am-6pm on the ground floor of the College Center building. If you're in the vicinity, please stop by. I will have a lot of things for sale, along with all the other fantastic artists among the students, faculty, and staff of NSCC.
Secondly, I'm definitely going to have a small case of various enamels at Wayward Coffee for at least the holiday season, hopefully longer. It will, for starters, be mostly leaves and a couple of Different Worlds pieces.
Thirdly, I love design. All design. I also love it when an organization, particularly a non-profit, turns out to have a deep, honest, ingrained, expansive sense of humor. If you take these 2 things and put them in a blender, you get 826, a coalition of non-profits dedicated to helping kids become better, more enthusiastic writers. One of the ways they help support themselves (ans also have bases of operation) is by having physical storefronts selling humorously surreal products. Some time ago, I followed some links to Echo Park Time Travel Mart, but thought it was just some temporary art installation project. I walk by Greenwood Space Travel Supply several times a week, and noticed that they were connected to some non-profit having to do with writing, but didn't think much further on it. Today I followed a link on Etsy to The Museum Of Unnatural History, and in a scramble to find out where the hell I could get some of those posters, I finally put all the 826s together. There are a number of stores on unique themes scattered throughout the country, and now I want to travel around to all of them and bring home awesome things.
