    poster day

    Baby Bug vs. the Volcano

    No painting today. My paintings called to me all day long from the patio. I’m working on two right now and so far I haven’t screwed them up. They are super fun and constantly call out to me. “Paint me! Paint me!” they shout in happy little voices. Kind of like the Dove Dark chocolates in my pantry, except those say “Eat Me! Eat me!”

    However, no matter how loud those paintings call me, Baby Bug calls louder. She also likes to climb up on things all day long, scaring me that she’s going to fall. I think she has turned into a monkey. If I don’t take her to the park to climb on things, she makes her own jungle gym out of our dining room chairs.

    I didn’t paint but I did get one thing done during her new and improved super-long-once-a-day nap. A poster!

    Art for Dogs poster

    I am soooooooo not done hyping this. By the time August 25th gets here you are going to be so sick of dog art you will hope you never see a blue cartoon dog again. I think I’m going to make some little side banners too. So if anybody wants to hype the show for me, email me and I’ll give you the code so you can have some blue dog hyperness in your blog too.

    Please Come!

    Please Come!!!!

    My Art is going to the Dogs! The Karma Rescue Dogs that is…

    Email me if you think you might come or if you would like more info. I’m also sending out postcards to those on my mailing list within driving distance of Redondo Beach. If you’d like to be on my mailing list, email me your address and I’ll send you a postcard. If you live far away and you’d just like a postcard for the fun of it, you can email me your address too! I hope lots of people can come.

    Edited to add the “More later….” part

    I’m hoping to get a friend of mine and his fantastic band (I will link his band’s website when it’s a sure thing) to play at the show. It will be so fun. Music and art and food! Yippeee! Maybe I’ll even dance for you. Baby Bug and I are working on a number. There is also a rumor that a dog-loving celebrity will be there… but it could just be a rumor. Or maybe we can make it true, anybody know a dog-loving celebrity in the LA area we could coax to come? You know you want to come. There might even be dog cupcakes!

    I am going to make digital prints for posters and postcards, tshirts etc… to sell at the show (and to those of you who can’t make it.) I haven’t made them yet so I’m stressing just a little bit. Maybe you have some suggestions?. What would you like to see as a re-printable graphic? Something I could autograph with a sharpie and pretend I’m a big famous artist…. Ha ha ha… I dream big. So it’s just a dog bakery and not the Getty… that’s okay. It’s art and it’s for a good cause!!!!

    please come!
