Fab Friday - Mythic Worlds

This weekend is the annual MythicWorlds convention.  It is always fabulous seeing old art friends, and meeting new ones. Another highlight is the Krab Jab Studio room - which is always beautifully arranged and full of yummy art.   This year they are hosting the preview of their next show, "Arboreal Dreams" - which I did this little piece for - 

Acorn Dreams

"Our ancestors perceived the forest as a sacred space filled with living entities. Modern humans more often think of trees merely as objects to be harvested for mundane uses. The forest creatures however, have not broken the ancient connection between the trees and the living things they protect and nurture. While the squirrel, for instance, is fed and sheltered byt he tree, the tree in turn may have originally planted by the squirrel; the two create a kind of symbiotic magic, where both living beings are more than they could ever be alone."

You can see this, and the rest of the show (which is gorgeous) next Saturday at the official open.

February Recap -

There has been so much going on - since mid-January in fact, that I've kind of given up on catching up in any comprehensive way, so I'm just going to post an overview or two. This one of the whirl-wind that was February....

It started with Greg Spalenka's Alla Prima workshop (which I did have time to document here).

This was quickly followed by the coterie of French artists coming to town - the first event with them being their gallery open at Krab Jab Studio -

- immediately followed by Virginie Ropar's one-day workshop for TLCWorkshops.

Greg Spalenka came to town, and Krab Jab Studio hosted his Artist As Brand TLCWorkshop.

All the above artists, and *more* were all guests at MythicWorlds (I was the 'artist wrangler - acting as liason for all of their mini-workshops for the convention).

A few days later, David Thierree and Yoann Lossel taught their TLCWorkshop....

All in all, it was a crazy-busy month - full of art, artists, learning and good times. Still recovering from it all.
