Final Pieces..

Yesterday I finished the transfer for the final piece in the series. At this point I have 4 pieces that are waiting to be painted and then it’s done, finished, finito! It is nice to be able to see the finish line, I’ve had this pile of empty panels in my studio for such a long time and now that pile is finally gone, no more empty panels. Actually that’s not quite true because there’s always empty panels lying around in my studio but you know what I mean.

This week I have some commissions to finish so there’s probably not going to be too much time to start painting these final pieces but next week I should be able to have a nice long painting sprint and finish at least 2 of them. I can’t wait, it’s exciting!

I’m excited to finish the series, it will be good to see all of the pieces together and I also like to be able to start finishing the book. I still enjoy working on the pieces very much but it is also going to be nice to have some time to experiment and start something new, I’ve so many ideas bouncing around in my head! 

This week I’ll be dropping off some new pieces at Viva Vida Art Gallery and I’m having a meeting to talk about an opportunity for a show of ‘Discoveries: Montreal’. As soon as I have more information on that I will of course let you know :)

Successful Campaign!

My Indiegogo campaign was a success! I am so grateful to all the people who have contributed and to everyone who has shared and promoted the campaign, thank you all! I’m truly blown away by your generosity and support! I’ve already started sending out the first ‘Perks’. 

Work on the boo is in full swing, texts are being edited and layouts are being designed. The book is expected to come out in the fall of 2013. There will be an official book launch which will coincide with the vernissage for the show. 

I am currently working on the final four pieces in the series, all composition work has been completed and this week is going to be dedicated to doing most of the transfers for these final pieces. There are a couple of commission pieces I am working on as well so I’ll have to divide my time but a bit of diversity is never a bad thing :)
