so from where i left off, the rest of the conference continued to be nothing short of amazing. on the last day, i was able to set up my work at a table in the conference center, alongside hundreds of fellow talented artists and printmakers. had my wear your horns out now and heavy hangs the head.. prints, as well as the corresponding t-shirts (see my previous post for the photoset). tracy brought the most adorable/badass ipodspeaker shaped like a vintage boombox, and we played aphextwin and some 50's beats to the pleasure of everyone stopping by our booths. a couple of people even came over just to dance.
>>me blowing tracy a kiss xx

the lion/lamb canvas bags i made (check this link for the photos) were my best seller, sold every single one i had brought to the conference! that was really exciting for me. it was nice to meet so many new artists and exchange dialogue regarding the contemporary art world and our places in it; like so many of my peers, being able to share how it is being out of school and trying to continue artistic endeavours when the venues seem few and far between. on that note, i'm proud of my decision to quit my job and work at the LowerEastSidePrintShop in order to create this body of work. i know it can be pushed farther though - just the tip of the iceberg, so to speak - and am looking forward with the utmost excitement for that next step.
i got a bigbigbig heartbeat yeah.
