After a whole semester of whining about my camera, my parents decided to get me a new camera for Christmas. Huzzah! Now I have to learn how to use it properly. I’m going to re-shoot recent artwork for an application I’m working on this vacation. I need to have my images look top notch so I don’t mess up my chances.
I took a nice long break from art making, but now I need to kick my butt into gear and prep for shows. Buy frames, print, make new art, hang stuff, and of course, the thesis paper/exhibition for graduating school. SO MUCH! AH!
Expect more posting here in the near future. I want to document as much as possible for the upcoming thesis show. I might do a “photo-a-day” posting schedule or something similar to motivate my blogging.
Upcoming shows:
MFA group show @ Gallery 148 (MCAD/MPLS, MN)
Gender Show @ Altered Esthetics (NE MPLS, MN)
Glass, Cinder & Thorns @ 323 East Gallery (Royal Oak, MI)
Feminality Traveling Exhibition Round 3 @ Manhattan venue (haven’t learned much more than that)
MFA 2010 Thesis Exhibition @ Soap Factory (MPLS, MN)
Those are the main shows so far. I might keep my eye out for more shows that follow the thesis exhibition, but this should do for the semester. I’m starting my print for the Glass, Cinder & Thorn show. I’ll have a print in-progress for next week, maybe?
Yesterday, I got a catalog in the mail for the Los Angeles Printmaking Society 20th National Exhibition from last semester. This book is huge and full of lovely black and white images of prints from the show. For some reason, I didn’t include any artist statement with my image.
Bummer. It kind of makes me look like a goof, I’m the only one that doesn’t have a blurb by my image in the catalog. I must have been a space case when I sent all the information into the mail. I can’t seem to think of a better reason why I forgot. Still, it’s nice to see my artwork along with other printmakers in the field.
That’s all for now. I’m going to update the website later this week. The Art section will receive its usual overhaul, but I might also add my resume and tinker with the About page.
Later.

Megan added these pithy words on Jan 05 10 at 11:05 amI love it so much! It’s light enough to throw in my purse. I need to find a slip for it so I don’t have to carry it all the time in a hefty camera case.

As for the artist’s blurb just pretend that was intentional. You’re trying to cultivate an air of mystery. Or pull the old “my work speaks for itself” .. Grats on all the exhibits.
Megan added these pithy words on Jan 24 10 at 9:57 pmYes! The Coolpix P90! I’ve been learning how to use it. It’s been so long since I owned a camera where I want to use the manual settings. I forgot basic photography skills like f-stops, but I’ve been improving.
