Garden Level – Cut Paper Art plus other info.

garden level

8 x 10 inch paper cutting.

Forgive me for ignoring the internet side of things lately.. I’ve been in a whirlwind trying to get a bunch of work finished. This is my busiest time of year and the whirlwind will pretty much continue until I hit the road for Colorado in July.

Today I set up for the Mulvane Mountain/ Plains Art Fair in Topeka. Unfortunately I snapped a couple bars on my tent and had to tape it together with duct tape to get it to stand.. but it’s toast after this. New one already ordered (being that I’ll need it for next weekend for Salina)… This art fair runs Saturday & Sunday from 9-5 or something like that.. The details escape me. And I’m slightly delirious as I type from just finishing adding color to three paper cuttings.

I managed to give kayaking a shot on Memorial Day — it was pretty amazing. Once my schedule cools, I can imagine I’ll be paddling around as much as I can. I went with my friend Jeanette and we paddled to a far shore, got out of our boats and trekked along the water line looking for neat things. I found several fossils and a ‘rock creature’ (a rock that looks like a dinosaur head). I love scavenging for things like that.

One last bit of info: “A Cut Above” — the exhibit at the Topeka and Shawnee County Public Library in Topeka, KS, opened today (June 1). I have 10 paper cuttings in this, plus my animations are also on display.

In (perpetual) progress

Between my last three art fairs, last three wholesale orders, and making new works for the upcoming Topeka exhibit, I now feel grossly underprepared for my next couple art fairs coming up in less than two weeks. So… pedal to the metal… Lots of ideas (thanks to my sketchbook — the brain is not a constant churner of ideas so it’s good to record’em when I got’em), lots of paper, lots of x-acto blades, lots of cutting.
