Kalli Settles In

Well Little Miss Kalliope has taken over our house. She likes to stay up long hours, play and do her business outside unless it is raining (did I mention I live in the Pacific Northwest), and do everything exactly like my 2 year old blue does it.

The 2 year old is not so sure about this puppy thing. But she does like stealing the puppies bones and bed.

Caledon Show article

The show went well! I sold several virtual copies and even one original piece on Sl. I am hoping Second Life will move more in the direction of real life sales...we shall see.

Madison Paine wrote a great little article about my show and you can even see a pic here.

Openings and new puppies!

Puppy update: Kalliope comes home on Thursday! Whoot.

I have been super busy on second life. The artists of studio33 had our grand opening at our studios on soho this past weekend. We did great and had a blast. Four of us have another opening on cetus at our formal gallery there this Sunday 2-4. I also have a solo show in Caledon Victoria City on Saturday the 17th 12-4. Stop on by if you are on second life! I have created close to 40 new works for this show. A little over 1/4 of them are Steampunk themed. I will be offering them for sale first on second life and then they will be available here on my blog or via ebay.
