Here's a little white fox dog at sunset
He'll be at Art Hop!

Great things happening this weekend!
In the past, I'd always have mixed feelings about my approaching birthday. Sure, it was a time for party cake and sweet loot, but it also meant the beginning of the school year. I was not the sort of kid who got excited for school to start. So, despite the involuntary chills I still get whenever I see the school buses roll by, I am excited this year for my birthday for reasons other than sweet loot.
This year, my birthday falls smack-dab into the middle of Art Hop!
Art Hop is the biggest art party I know of in Burlington, and this year is their 20th in existence. So I was a mere 16 years old when it first happened. In those days, I wasn't a social butterfly by any means. I had my circle of friends (who put up with me) and tended to be shy around most others, especially in class. At least that's how I remember it... But this year it's a full-on socializing event!
It'll be one long weekend of celebrating, as this year I'm also in a new location, my beloved SPACE GALLERY. The schedule so far is as follows;
Friday September 7th: 11 a.m. to 11 p.m. (Art Hop officially begins at 5, but the gallery is open earlier)
Saturday September 8th: 10 a.m. to 11 p.m. BIRTHDAY!
Sunday September 9th: 11 a.m. to 4 p.m.
I'm sharing a studio space with printmaker & painter extraordinaire Justin Atherton, and for the entire month of September our work will be on display there. The gallery is open regularly Thursday through Saturday 11-4.
Here's a little peak at what my table looked like last night, and two pieces by Justin. I'll have some more preview posts as the week goes on.
See you then!

Pantalettas
Every year there's a great used-book sale to benefit our local library. And when the sale is over, it's free book time. I love this town.
Last round, Arkonbey found this little treasure, which I haven't really referred to much but it's one that's rather amusing to have in the home library. I keep hoping it will inspire me to make something awesome.

This one is a "detail from 'The Ladies Accelerator' showing pantalettes, 1819."
Here's an artist who could really do good with material like this: Kate Beaton. Peruse the Hark a Vagrant archive!
ALSO: if you're in Portland Maine this weekend, do yourself a favor and go to the Maine Comics Festival! FIVE BUCKS = A BARGAIN, people!

So, there you go. Underwear & comics.

Revisiting the Ghosts
Here's a piece I've been plucking away at these last few months. It's a new take on a piece I did back in '98/99 while still at school. The original is much bigger and resides in my friend's old room at his parent's house.
The video is just a quick peek, and you can barely see what I'm doing as it's dark-on-dark. Still, having fun finally figuring out these fancy dancy laptop features. That's CocoRosie playing in the background.

How I spent my Sunday
After a late night of music videos & sketch-booking, Arkonbey & I dragged ourselves from the comforts of bed, fed the B monster his rations and trundled down to Martone's in Essex Junction.
Will Workman met us there, and so with coffee, scones and sketchbooks we had a pleasant morning, especially as it was a chance finally to really visit. Lots of good ideas bouncing around.
Three hours later, we gave up our table and headed our separate ways.
Home for a brief bit, so I got in an hour or so of painting before we headed out to Cambridge to see more friends.

Here's what I did before we settled down to one of Patti's fantastic feasts:

Perfect way to enjoy the warm sun, delicious air and muddy roads at speed!

Going to the DOGS
 |
| Old school nibs and super-dooper modern brush pen, bringing you the Bernese and a variety of fluffy things. |
 |
| Ahhh... I do love a new fine line pen. Getting a little shaggy on the Maltese here. |
 |
| And then I had to draw something other than dogs for a few minutes. But of course the dogs snuck back in. At least they're napping. |
