Touching

Last Saturday, a group of female students from PCC came by our booth at Skidmore market looking for something special to get for their math teacher. Apparently his 75th birthday is coming up and they wanted to thank him for making math more accessible to them. They said they all had trouble with it and that he had a definite impact on each of them. I was touched that they chose my numberism prints as their gift. Thank you, and I hope he likes it!

In the end, they chose an 11 x 14 of this leaf

I just had to share that. I'm always touched when people choose my work for gifts, and this one even more so than usual.

On a side note, we have a bit of an update about our NW gallery. It has been closed this past week, and we hope to have it open again by Tuesday (tomorrow). From here on out, it will be open Tuesday through Friday fro 2pm - 11pm or by appointment. When you come in, feel free to holler, as we are probably upstairs working on more art (sometimes loudly).

We are at 1216 NW 21st Ave,
Portland, Or 97209

Also, if you are in the Portland area, and are looking to purchase some of my or Tabulanis's work, I suggest going to the FrogFaith gallery at www.FrogFaith.com/gallery where you can purchase anything from our series, and you have the option to pick up instead of paying for shipping and handling.

Thank you and I hope the Holiday season is treating you all well!

26

This week, I am turning 26. Not a mile marker in life, not a turning point, historically speaking, but my birthday nonetheless. I'm personally quite happy with this year so far and am looking forward to the next one. Let's see a recap:

I finished my Perpetual Motion series (yay!), my husband, best friend and I opened up our first gallery, which happens to be next to an awesome coffee shop (Anna Bannanas), I've met a group of wonderfully artistic friends up here and am absolutley loving Portland life, and I'm now working on a comic book about zombies, which is something I've always wanted to do.



Last and not least, my amazing husband and I celebrated our 4 year anniversary just last month, and we continue to be a contradiction to the normal idea of a married couple.



I don't know what more I could ask for, really.So instead of a gift for me, I'm offering a gift to you.

This week (starting at Saturday Market), I will knock off 15% off everything when you buy two or more prints. Moreover, for just this week, I will bring all my online prices down to my special booth prices. :) These are found at www.SiennaMorris.Etsy.com and www.FrogFaith.com/gallery At the FrogFaith Gallery, you can order to pick up at our gallery while avoiding shipping and handling.

You get the 15% off at our gallery as well at 1216 NW 21st ave. We open at 2pm and stay open all night. We work upstairs, so feel free to holler if we don't come down.

Have an awesome week and happy Friday the 13th!

Halloween!

Four years ago, under the cover of darkness, an "Unholy Matrimony" took place, forever binding Tab and I in marriage. We celebrate that day again this Halloween.

Tab and I, will be out celebrating all day, and so we will not be at the market this Saturday, however, our awesome, wonderful, considerate friends, will be there for us. Doc (who served as our Reverend), and our friend, Ben, will be at the booth for us near Ankley and 2nd, exhibiting our artwork for us.

Enjoy your Halloween, and we will see you again on Sunday!

And why not?:
If you buy a print in full costume: 15% off!

Last Thursday June

This month and pretty much every month unless otherwise noted, you can find me and mine with all our numerism giclee prints at Portland's monthly Last Thursday Art Walk in Alberta. This month you can find us over on 18th and Alberta for June's Last Thursday event.

What can you find at my booth, come Last Thursday? Well, seeing as you asked, you can find giclee prints on either canvas or artists paper from my expanding series "Perpetual Motion" which uses the famed Numerism technique. (Look at me talking myself up). All of these pieces are completely composed of the numbers of the clock, 1 -12. Go to my website to see what I'm talking about in more detail www.SiennaMorris.com

Also at our booth, you can find a quickly deminishing collection of original numberism trading cards. These go by fast, and I should really be drawing more of them. They are original, hand signed, titled and dated.

To top it off, we have artwork from my rediculously talented husband, Tabulanis, including a gigantic print of "Face" (so cleverly named) that will be gracing our booth.

Oh, and just to toss things up, I've decided to bring some of my older original paintings and drawings with me, ranging from $85 - $400. These pieces never get to come out to play anymore, so they'll be happy to get the attention.

As always, when you buy two or more, you get 10% off at the booth, but if you mention this blog, you get 10 % off even when you just buy one. :) (Feel free to bring your Credit Card. Those plastic devils are welcome at our booth).

It's been a hectic, crazy, unpredictable, keep-you-on-your-toes month, and somehow we made it through. Come to Last Thursday and celebrate the persistence of human life through the crazy train we call planet Earth. Amazingly enough, I'm here now, and I'm enjoying myself.
