San Pedro Square Market THIS SUNDAY

I'll be at space #20 in full force (stamps, shirts, new prints, Clink buttons!!), and sporting some blue & orange (GO THUNDER!!!). I really love splitting my summer fair vending time between smaller, intimate community fairs and bigger citywide events like Renegade Craft Fair. Don't know why but I do!

Jurassic Fort in progress

To continue with my series of nerdy/geeky/fan forts... JURASSIC PARK!

PixArt Salutes Pixar Heroines!

In anticipation of Brave, the Pixar Times is featuring fan artwork celebrating the heroines of Pixar. Here's my submission :). BOO!

The Magical Day at WonderGround Gallery

Saturday was the big day, and I was so nervous about the whole thing. I seriously didn't know what to expect. Eeeeee! But it was fabulous, and such an honor to be a part of such a small, talented pool of artists. So, without further ado... THE PICTURES!

It's ONE DAY AWAY. AHHHHH.

I always like seeing artist's process sketches because it's like a little peek into their innerworkings. Here's mine and it doubles as a promo heyyyy. PS: I'm FREAKING OUT (in a good way!). See you there! :)

Campfire-style Dinner in Berkeley

I met Sam when vending at the Santa Cruz farmer's market last autumn. He was one of the first people I met and the friendliest guy ever! What made it even better was he worked for Scream Sorbet, which meant trading for ice cream & pints at the end of the day. YUM! He has since resigned his ice cream scooper, but works in a dairy farm making yogurt & milk. We've kept in touch since I stopped vending in Santa Cruz and he invited me to his Berkeley co-op for a campfire dinner.

Almost of all of the food served at dinner was attained by trading at farmer's markets. Dang, now that's a way to live!

The Peanut Vanilla was Sam's idea. It's also my favorite & their top seller. BOOM.

Sam is a generous host. He gave me some snacks to take home (fresh milk, olive oil bread baked that morning, and oranges that instead of making their way to Berkeley Bowl found their way into my tote bag). The milk is INCREDIBLE.
