DayTwo

We had a great day and made another batch of contacts. The energy of the show was completely different than Sunday, it was more "professional" and quiet versus Sunday's numerous bursts of energy. 

I'm psyched, I met some folks from Sullivan Papers, they were really cool and are located in Springfield Mass, about 45 minutes from the studio. They manufacture paper and paper products, I think the folks we met do the fundraising side of the business (schools sell their wrapping paper to raise money). We also met a really nice guy from Hayes Company, they manufacture garden and outdoor items and some folks from Pearson publications. ALL GREAT!!!

We are headed into Day Three and we are all POOPED and our feet hurt, but we are having a ton of fun, are eating well, and are meeting really great people. YAHOO!

Day One

The first day of the show was fun and VERY long. We've met a ton of people and might have a contact or two. The show ended at 6:00 and we went on a networking cruise around the Hudson and danced our butt off. We've been told that Monday is the busy day, we are very excited and I'll keep you all posted.  


   

fifi has landed!

We are here! Set up began at 8:00 this morning. We were one of the first teams to show up and had everything set up and ready to go by 11:30. We are super excited! 

The show begins tomorrow at 9:00 am. This is a picture of the booth and of Suzie in front of the marquee. The other artists in our row are super nice (and talented) and are also first time exhibitors too. Stay tuned!

Aileen

It's coming together

I should be able to pick up the booth panels tomorrow, I'm hoping they turned out well. I have one portfolio together and need to make copies, I also need to order some products and work on the media kits. AHHHH there's a lot to do and I only have 2 weeks. It will all get done! Here's some new art . . .

The Booth Design

Scott and I worked on the booth design for Surtex, and it's awesome, now I just need to produce it. AHHH. Here's a comp.

I'm getting very excited for the show!

Inspirational Image

I love this series of photo's I took at the Cedar Hill Cemetary in Hartford. I'm having so much fun converting them to black and white and coloring them.

I imagine these images printed really big on canvas and hanging in a modern apartment somewhere.

More art

I haven't drawn anything is a long time, I've been focusing on the Green Aileen and Funcasions compuer drawings, so this weekend I got out the colored pencils and drew this. My friend Terry told me to make sure I have Christmas images for Surtex becuase May is the timefame for producing Christmas stuff. So I'm hoping to do more Christmas themed things so I can add them to the "collection". This image is called "Christmas Cheer"
