brush pen part 2
Hey! I've been sick aaaaalll week! It sucks. I really thought I was better last night but after being in denial most of the day I finally took a Sudafed and passed out. At least I woke up breathing through my nose, which was a major improvement! I've been sucking down tea and hanging around my apartment for daaaaays and started reminiscing about last weekend when I thought I had beat my sore throat and went to brunch at Alcove, the favorite breakfast-at-noon spot in my neighborhood. It is full of characters, myself included. Here's a few that I encountered:
The lady on the right had a whole lot of look happening: a big woolly oversize sweater, a ripply tunic or dress (it's hard to tell which sometimes but this was supposed to be a dress since she wasn't wearing anything under it), giant chunky rock necklace, crazy gladiator sandals, and the ultimate accessory: a small dog. The dog was cute but ultra tiny! It looked fragile and fluffy. Her friend was tiny and had worlds largest handbag.
This girl is a cupcake. She was really working that romper. Except for the back, where the edge of her butt cheek kept peaking out...but I did you the courtesy of only drawing her from the front.
This was a tall, skinny, lanky couple. They looked like they just rolled out of bed to have a tall, skinny, lanky brunch together.
Also, I added a whoooooollle bunch of new prints to the shop this week. All stuff from my show last month. Lots of the originals are still available too, but I'm still considering whether to put them up in the store or not. I haven't had much luck selling OG's on etsy.
This will probably be my only post this week, since I've spent most of it laying around watching Grey Gardens and eating cough drops like candy.

those foxes!
It looks like I'll be under the avalanche of my illustration project for a while, but here's those other two fox paintings!
This little trio of foxes is going to be up for sale in my shop next week, along with some other original paintings that have been hanging out for a while...call it spring cleaning, if you will. More details on that later, so stay tuned!

pins are in the shop + apologies + what I'm up to
Okay, I lamed out. Somehow time escaped me and I missed my opportunity to keep up with my own two-posts-a-week rule. I came home from my APE adventures, went about getting re-organized in my little space (which was, to be mild, a big old freaking mess), and got instantly buried in sudden freelance. But I'm not giving up so easily! This is a new week, and although it's already Tuesday, I've still got four more days to make good.
First of all, my pins are packaged and in the shop and ready to go! See?
There are single buttons available on their own little tags...
...or button sets on a big hearty tag!
For those of you SoCal natives who couldn't make it up to APE to hang out, fear not! I'm going to be at Unique Los Angeles December 13th and 14th, selling my prints and other forthcoming goodies. I haven't been to UniqueLA before myself, but I'm pretty excited about it! It looks like it's going to be a swanky, stylish affair, and I'm going to have to take a few steps up from the "Welcome to Grandma Brigette's" look at APE. I'm going to be veeeerrrrrrry busy, folks. Hey, who all is heading to the Felt Club this weekend, by the way? I've been wanting to go for literally YEARS and something always got in the way. Not this year though, I'm making a point to get myself down there and enjoy some crafty goods!
What else can I show you blog readers to woo you back?
Oh! Here's a glamorous photo of my mom!
And here is a really fantastic artwork by Ken Garduno that I procured at APE. Our tables were next door to each other and we did a trade...which I think I rather unfairly got the better end of. I love love love this piece.
Okay, one more thing! This weekend Goonies is playing at the Rialto in Pasadena. It's a charity event, and you should go, because The Goonies is awesome.
Oh yes, and Ice Cream People.
I hope that at least slightly makes up for my DB'ing last week. You'll be hearing from me SOON!

It's business time.
Since I am supposed to be a professional artist, or something, it seemed like it was about time that I made myself a pro-feshunal type business card!
This is the front, with all my contact info on it! I omitted my last name because it is: impossible to pronounce (butchered daily, always and forever, with an inexplicable 'n' thrown in where there is none), not at all memorable, and also unspellable. Even if you can say it and remember it right, you won't be able to spell it. Doubt it? Go ahead!! Give yourself the Barrager quiz! It ends in disaster every time.
This is the back. I took a workshop through CalArts Alumni Services from a very wise and witty and with-it lady who proposed this astonishing idea: if you are an artist, and you are in the business of making images, and you are handing out a double-sided piece of paper with all your information on it, should you not make it look awesome so that people not only hang onto it but they know EXACTLY what you do just by looking at it?
By the way, if anything on these cards is unclear, or kinda hard to read, or smeary or something, NOW would be the appropriate time to tell me. Critiques are appreciated! Now! Because after I get these printed (I'm going to use Vista Print I think) it will be too late to give constructive criticism.
Another reason for getting my business card ready to go is that I'm going to be exhibiting at the Alternative Press Expo in November. This is a momentous, fun, and incredibly stressful situation for me. Before Halloween, I've got to make it look like I've got my act together, do a bunch of cool new artwork, and still manage to somehow do my "day job" (aka the job I actually got paid money to do although I mostly do it night). I'm going to need a lot of luck and very, very little sleep to accomplish these things.
In other small news, although I haven't sold a lot of stuff on my etsy store,
a couple of my items have been featured on the front page, which is kind of a big deal! It means that hundreds of people saw my stuff and clicked on it, too! It was a nice little ego-booster for me, personally.
