WOW it has been a long time!

Well it has been a long time since my last post, I hope I didn't lose any followers. I've had so much going on... two openings, family in town, a birthday and oh so much more. I guess I'll just start from where I left off. I have a ton of recipes, but despite having the new camera I only have a couple pictures. I think I'll save the recipes for another post. I promise tomorrow or the next day I will have them up. 


Rewinding to about 3 weeks ago...my 24 Works on Paper opening. It went well. I had some interest in my work and lined up a custom commission piece which I have to have done by the end of this week. I also applied for yet another internship with the organization that set up the show. Cross your fingers.

24 Works on Paper

Well then about a week after that my dad came to town. 

Redhawks

The Womb

Maya Hayuk, you are awesome

We went to a Redhawks baseball game, checked out The Flaming Lips Womb Gallery, went to Tulsa and did a bunch of family stuff. He was here for my birthday too! Being 25 definitely feels different than 24. I know I'm still young, but it sure feels weird. Kevin got me these lovely roses...8 yellow for 8 birthdays together and 1 red for the year to come. :)

Birthday flowers

This weekend was my opening in Tulsa. The Oh Tulsa show was a huge success! The crowd was incredible. So many people came that you could hardly see the art on the walls. I know for sure that I sold one piece, but the show is up until the 25th, so I won't know for sure how much I sold until then. Check the DOOODLES page to see more art stuffs.

Tulsa prints

Tulsa wood pieces

We stayed in Tulsa the rest of the weekend and went to the Brady District Block Party. There were a bunch of bands playing throughout the day and The Flaming Lips were supposed to play that night, BUT... a huge storm came through Oklahoma with 75 mph winds that knocked down power lines and the whole stage at the festival.  We only got to see one band play. It was still 110 degrees outside, so we decided to leave and wait until night time to go back. Good thing we did. The rain was much needed after record setting heat and no rain for most of this summer, but it was a real bummer. We ended up going out for drinks at our hotel and walking around downtown Tulsa. We still had fun, but it sure was a bummer.

The best picture!

This week I'm starting on a mural in my friend Megan's nursery and getting ready for her baby shower next weekend. I have to finish that custom print and start on stuff for the next show deadlines. I'll make sure to have a recipe post up in the next couple days. Until then :)
