"2 am"

I've officially exhibited my newest Numberism piece, "2 am" at the PCA's "A Rainy Day Wildfire"
(The original will be hanging through May at OMCC).
So here it is, for your viewing pleasure.

This is a 16" x 20" scratch board numberism drawing, drawn with the numbers of the clock, 1 - 12, signifying time in a fleeting moment. Each piece focuses on moments we cherish once the sun sets. Much of the series will be more adult in nature.

Each piece in my Evening piece will be titled between 6pm and 6am. This is the first. I have about four more of these already planned, and there will be 12. I am employing the services of three Portland Photographers to shoot these pieces, including Ian Dawson and Benjamin Frothingham. When I exhibit, we will be showing both my drawings and their original photography.

Below are a few detail shots of the piece. I'm not telling of the specifics, but there are secrets in this drawing....

The Pink Show

The Splendorporium is having a Valentines Day Art Show this Friday from 7- 9 pm. They have chosen to show 4 or 5 of my love inspired numberism pieces along with their wide array of lovely Portland artists.

I will be there, scoping out the local art and probably giving into my secret desire for Voodoo donuts, which will also be there in their big pink truck.

Valentine's Day

Oh Valentine's Day, I remember when I used to avoid you. Now, however, I just try to get enough time to celebrate with my husband. We generally have some project going on that gets in the way. In China, while we were shooting a music video, it wasn't until 11pm that we realized it was Valentines Day, and it was our Chinese Translator who informed us. I think at the end of the night we grabbed a bottle of wine, but we were still with the crew for most of the night. This is generally how it goes. Not that I'm complaining. It happens to be that Tab and I like working together. It's one of the reason we have a reason to celebrate our relationship. Maybe we don't need a highly advertised day to celebrate how lucky we are, but hell, I'll take any excuse I can to get some quality alone time.

So I'm going to make a point of putting some time aside to spend with my hubby this Valentines Day. Maybe we'll go for a hike on this trail we found the other day, or go see one of the many performance shows I've seen going on of late (I noticed a Mozart performance, "Cosi Fan Tutte", Love With A Twist, at the Portland Opera House).



Who knows, but if all goes to plan, we won't be working. We will however, be working before Valentines Day, and we've set up a couple places to be before Valentines Day for you to find us.

I mentioned before that you can find us at Last Thursday on Alberta.

We are also going to be at the Urban Grind Valentines Day Gift Fair January 31st with Valentines Day Cards as well as our usual work from 12 - 4pm.

We still have our online sales going on, so you're welcome to pick something up there as well. Be sure to order it in time for us to ship it to you before V Day. (about 5 days before hand).




As a side note, I know I said our gallery would be open in January, but we all decided we needed a bit of a break. So the FrogFaith gallery is closed until March. You can still order prints to pick up at the gallery or call/email ahead if you would like to come in.

For those of you who would rather Valentines Day take a dirt nap this year, I happened to notice a few events you might be interested in. I also saw a few in WW that looking interesting too that I don't have here.

Numberism Wedding

For Christmas, I was commissioned to draw a numberism portrait of this couple's wedding day. The husband ordered the drawing for his wife for a Christmas present. I am told she loved it. :)

I was given this photograph to draw from, which captured a beautiful moment of the couple on the bridge were they took their vows.



It was less than 2 weeks before Christmas, and we were all getting ready for the Festival of The Last Minute, not to mention that I was still working on the Comic Book. I wondered if I could draw it in time. My partners picked up the slack for all the printing and stretching responsibilities and let me draw. Tab, unfortunately got very sick for the entire week, and so while I was busy drawing, the rest of our group was pouring blood sweat and tears into the coming week to compensate for the missing players.

The drawing flowed from me. I haven't worked on a numberism drawing since "Transitional" (the fall tree and leaves), and I had finished that over a month ago. I missed it. The calm, the precision, the almost meditative effects of drawing numberism. It was no trouble at all to finish it in time. It was a pleasure. I decided to draw the bouquet of roses in full color and have the pedals fly off into the next moment, signifying that while time progresses, they are still together; solid despite the passage of each moment.

I wasn't able to scan it in time, so I don't have as good of close ups as I could have, but my friend managed to take pretty good photos of the final piece so I could share it with you.

This drawing is 16" x 24". Micron pens on Vellum paper.
