New Room

Vivian and I are rearranging our apartment to use our dining room as a studio.  That leaves the third bedroom free!  I'm feeling inspired to use it as a garden room- a little winter oasis (maybe even bring in a humidifier and a space heater to make it "tropical"!). I made a new pinterest board for inspiration.

Feeling In Transition right now and I haven't been completing any comics. I don't intend to stop, but I'm keeping busy with some other artistic projects and studies; hoping to find what works best for me! For reasons unrelated to this blog, my retail manager suggested that I "part ways" with my retail job, so I did.  Pro: no longer will be spending half my income on clothing! Con: no more fresh Retail Life material for comics.  Darn it.  That was really the only reason I was sticking with the job.  Oh, and for the $.

The Garden for Wayward Girls

Micheline Heal, my friend and fellow Oberlin alumna, is choreographing a beautiful modern dance piece called "The Garden for Wayward Girls". I am flattered that she has asked me to help her with the "static" visual elements of the show- mainly some props (a Pandora's box for each dancer) and set pieces/ installation. It has been really fun to work on so far; the boxes are done (pictures later) and now, with a week left before the performance, I am posting some pictures and drawings to help Micheline and I communicate about the set. She's coming down to Richmond from DC tomorrow to hang out and then take everything back with her. Eeeek! Nervous about how much that needs to be done. Pictures below.

Show information: If you are able to get to DC, I would love to see you at the show! The performances are May 20th at 8pm and May 21st at 3pm and 8pm. Tickets are $10 in advance, The piece will be performed at the Capitol Hill Arts Workshop at 545 7th St. SE, Washington DC. You can learn more about the theater company curating this event here, and view Micheline's website here.
