This month marked the opening of Toma's art showing at Lunar Boy Gallery in Astoria, OR. They have a special opening night, which we attended alongside Team Jessup. Amy of the Jessup party suggested we dress up a little spooky, as the show bore the title "Day of the Dead." It was a lovely night on the town, getting strange stares, and spooky compliments.
Last week was Toma's first art walk in Portland. In stall 406 he was selling his paintings and prints on the side of the street like a gypsy pop-up-shop. As a diligent, micro-managing, let-me-do-it, kind of girlfriend, I was of course there to help set up and get things looking the way I wanted them.
It was about 85 degrees, and we were in direct sunlight. The beautiful glowing sun caused my make up to melt, and my false lashes to fall off, as seen in the image below. All in all, we handed out lots of business cards, sold lots of post cards, and even a few prints. I rather like the traveling tent shop experience and am quite excited for the next adventure!
The next shows are Olympia, WA and then Astoria, OR. We seem to be all over the place these days. We could also use your crossed fingers that we land a space at Urban Craft Uprising in Seattle this December. I am so excited for where are lives are leading us, and the children. Life is so very good, and so very full of possibility!
