Affordable Art Fair Los Angeles

Affordable Art Fair just opened in Los Angeles & will run till Jan 22nd.

i've got 2 pieces with Thinkspace Gallery and their great roster of

artists at Booth B-9 at the Event Deck at LA Live. :)

although "affordable" is very relative, most of the pieces are under $5000,

and i imagine it will be fun just to see all the art there.

more info & the program here!

winter

In the mood for drawing tonight... On scrap cardboard...

how i've been relaxing lately, now that i've wrapped up my year officially.

first, doodling & drawing...

Making plastic tiles to use around the gross edges of my nonworking fireplace.

And the said tiles finally installed around the fireplace.

then making some plastic tiles to put around the edge of my fireplace* opening.

(ahhh much better.)

* i've been asked if the plastic won't fume or burn, i must note that it's a

NON-WORKING fireplace - it WILL fume & burn if it worked.

also, occasionally (and masochistically) trying to get my own butt kicked on the piano.

listen to it the most ideal way possible here.

(which i do and feel worse sometimes)

shop.stellaimhultberg.com

this will be my last small originals sale in a while,

for 20 minutes prior to the sale, and reopen fully stocked at 2pm.

peek ahead :

One more drawing before calling it a night.

i finally got around to cleaning out and rearranging the studio.
i tend to move around my studio configuration at least once a year,
but this time i really overhauled it - reorganizing all my art archives, supplies,
and recently restocked shipping supplies for the shop, as well as moving the furniture around.

Also classily winter-readied the studio windows with bubblewrap.

then we also winter-readied our cold wood-frame apartment by double bubble-wrapping
the windows. this really saves at least 10-15ºF of shivering cold air, at least.
prior to bubble-wrapping last winter, i couldn't bear to work in the studio.
