Another artist I learned of via the Compulsive, Obsessive, Repetitive show was Jill Townsley. At first on her site I was thinking, where is her work that puts her into this category but then I decided to get in the “way back” machine and see what she was up to in 1992. The above piece […]

In looking for more continuing education opportunities for myself around Boston I came upon MassArt’s upcoming Fiber Arts class on Sculptural Knitting, which would be one way to describe my yurt project. In the course description, there was a link to artist Nathalie Miebach, I assume because her work is some kind of awesome. This […]

A mini-lifetime ago I lived in Telluride, CO and worked at an art school called Ah Haa. Annually they have an art auction, which is a huge fundraiser for the school. Local and nationally recognized artists donate works that are sold in both a silent and live auction format, and some of the pieces are […]

A few days ago I came upon the site Artsicle, a NYC-based startup designed to encourage art collecting. You can “rent” a piece of art (in NYC) for $50 and then, if it works in your home, buy it! It’s like Rent the Runway for artwork, which is a great idea! While I was trolling […]

I can see what search terms are bringing people to this groovy blog and I’m always surprised that the term “cartoon waves” is at the top of the list, everyday! Who are these people who constantly need images of cartoon waves? I did the search myself and realized it was because of my post on […]

Some people might call me really into the internet (partially for work), other people would call me an online sleuth, my boyfriend refers to me as a “Page 5 Googler,” which I take as a term of endearment. However you slice it, sometimes I go pretty far down the rabbit hole of links and in […]
