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"

Ad for the Surtex Program

It's coming together, we have the three categories and logos. This is our ad for the Surtex Program guide, I like it!

I got all of the exhibitor paper work done, I'm working on the media kit and now I need to figure out how to produce the booth!

I think the countdown has begun, it's only two months away . . . ahhhhh. Also, the row that I am exhibiting in is not sold out, I checked out the floorplan from last year and I don't believe it was sold out then either.

On The Surface March Newsletter

We were picked up in Surtex's monthly e-letter - yahoo! Click on the link below and choose the March edition of "on the surface". We are located on the right panel under "SNEEK PEEK". Look for the picture of the grasshopper . . .

Some new stuff

I've created a line of images called "greenaileen" that are perfect for the whole recycling/green movement. I'm having fun and hope to have at least 20 images for Surtex. These would be good for grocery bags, T-shirts, journals etc.

The meeting was great

So we had our official "prepare fifi for Surtex" meeting and it was great. We identified categories for fifi's art, I have a referral for an attorney and we are working on a press kit. I also know what art I need to fill in the gaps.

I was checking out the floor plan for Surtex and the section we are in is not sold out yet, but we have a few agents and really good artists all around us. Pretty intimidating!! This is scary and fun at the same time.

Next thing I need to get my head around? That I might actually generate some business. Ha, ha, ha.
