burn to shine

minis1

Over the past 3 months, nearly every evening, I’ve been burning mini wood pieces for my solo show, Burn to Shine. I’ve created 100 pieces! It’s what I set out to do, but in the middle (and to be honest at the end) I thought I wasn’t going to make it. I committed to 100 because I thought it’d be a good goal. It’s been physically hard and yet incredibly rewarding. I’ve explored and played with negative space, pattern, background, and character. This was my first attempt at creating such a large number of original wood pieces – I tried to keep each piece distinct and interesting. I won’t say I’ll never do it again, but I might give myself more time!

I will be sharing a few collections of the pieces through this week. I hope to see you at the opening night at Trickster in Berkeley this Saturday! If you’re not in the area the pieces will be up for sale after opening night ^_^

After that, I’ll be taking a long hiatus from wood burning!

happy diwali

hooray

i’ve been swamped with work on my solo show and pashmina, but i couldn’t let diwali pass without sharing an illustration. this was one of my first illustrations for diwali back in 2010. i remember the entire time i was drawing it i had a HUGE smile on my face.

 

happy diwali!

super excited that one of my prints will be featured on modern family tonight!

unbeknownst to me our website wasn’t able to take orders for the past few days – to celebrate the fact that it’s back and running smooth i’m offering 15% off for the next 24 hours with this code: MODFAM – it’s a good time to get the limited run 2015 calendar before pre-order is over, we’ve only printed 200 so once they’re gone that’s it!

thanks ^_^
