Sandy Smith


Above is a piece by Sandy Smith. I really enjoy it; I am a sucker for text based art, especially when it is a precious notion. What if someone put this out on your lawn?

Cats & Kittens






Recently I drew 50 cats (forced production, during a time of no ideas.)
They are roughly 4 x 5 inches. All of my drawings are done with pen,
no edits. These are a few of them. Click on to enlarge. Please buy for any cat lovers.

Art that You Should See

This show looks super amazing. Portland is too far from me to see it in person, but online images alone make me a little wild. (If you live in Portland you should go see.)

Really fun idea for a show and I wish I had a spare $300 dollars!

Dream House


When I was a little girl the Barbie Dream House was passed down to me from my aunt. While hunting on e.bay for project items I came across it, "buy it now" price of close to $250. Seeing the house flooded my brain with memories, like remembering again the pink plastic vanity with the reflective sticker for a mirror, the slatted push out windows and the divided 3 sections of the house. It is strange to come across something from childhood that once provided a wealth of storytelling. I would spend hours & hours alone in my room thinking up stories for Barbie & each of the characters. People often look down on Barbie, what she stands for as a cultural icon, I have plenty of friends that brag about not having played with Barbies, but Barbie was a huge part of how I grew into being a creative person. Sure, if Barbie was a real person her doll body to real body ratio would render her unlivable, but she is a doll and at 8 years old she is just a means of transport for an active imagination!
