Two things to say today . . . OK, probably more than two things, but here it goes:
1. I finally framed and hung up this amazing poster I got some months ago. It has re-inspired my desk space—honestly, I gasp with delight every time I look at it. I bought it at some little shop in my northern California travels, but from reading the fine print on the poster, I found out it was designed by Shepard Fairey and is available through Syracuse Cultural Workers. I haven’t had a chance to look fully at the site, but it looks like an interesting organization, and they sell my new favorite poster, so they must be doing something right!
Here is a picture of my desk and said poster.
2. A while ago, in this post, I talked about a show I would be involved in at the UC Davis Craft Center called “Crafts from the Farm.” Well, I dropped my photos off today, and the show will be up from September 29-October 31 showcasing all sorts of farm-related arts and crafts in celebration of University of California at Davis’ centennial anniversary.
Why the farm theme, you ask? Because UC Davis was originally set up as the UC farm school—an extension of UC Berkeley, I believe. I apologize to you readers who’ve heard this before, but I feel the need to re-explain this for any newbies.
Anyway, if you’re in the area, check out the show. There will be a closing reception on Halloween from 5:30-7. I’m not sure if I’ll be there, but I will post a reminder here towards the end of October.
Since I forgot to take pictures of the framed photos, since I was in such a rush to get them all packed up, you’ll have to settle for the show postcard. I may try to show you how they turned out, once I get them back after the show.
On another note, I just wanted to say, I apologize if I am not as present on this blog over the next couple of weeks–I’m making up some hours at work and trying to catch up in my web design class, since the class started two weeks ago, but my textbook just arrived yesterday. I hope to get back to business as usual by the beginning of October.
