patchwork plaid

Here's my progress on all these little weavings as of mid January. The plan is that all the little weavings are going to connect into a much larger piece- like a much more sculptural pair of preppy shorts. I've been documenting the whole project over here.

shop update

Of course I was hoping this one was going to find a permanent home in Atlanta but now it's back in my studio. Too bad there's no space since Robert and I are still sharing a studio- the attic is taking slightly longer than anticipated.

So.

I've listed this framed little gem over on etsy (along with a few other little goodies) for a steal.

little paper planes!

Hey there! The big news around these parts is that now just in time for the holidays you can now find 3 prints of my work over at Little Paper Planes!

Thanks to popular demand I've decided to make archival inkjet prints of some of my drawings- for the hardcore you can find the originals over at etsy. You can also find my letterpress print made with bff Kyle Van Horn on their site.

Kelly's been an absolute peach to work with and I'll be doing an edition of smaller one of a kind constellation screenprints for them early in 2010.

Big Changes in the Studio

Mr Tillman and I are opening up our attic above our studios. This is a big deal it means that our studios (which are matching his and hers spare bedrooms on the top floor of our 3 story rowhouse) can be entirely dedicated to working rather than working and storage. Of course living in a house built in 1870 means that we could use all the storage we can get for things beyond the studio too.





To prepare for the mess that is cutting into the plaster ceiling we have tons of stuff from Robert's studio sitting in mine while his sits unusable all covered in plastic. For the next few weeks we're sharing a space and really scaling back the work we're making. I'm only drawing in the sketchbook and weaving since the big weavings are made in smaller pieces I can tackle this without a lot of space. The small furry assistant helps too.

Seasons at Young Blood

I have a piece (along with dozens of other artists) in Young Blood's big seasonal show. Each artist tackled one of the four seasons and I'm sending this charming little (5" x 7"!) framed drawing for spring- which I chose whithin minutes of recieving Kelly's initial email invite to be in the show. Atlanta friends- go see the show- it opens next week.

Ceramics at the Transformer Auction

I'm happy to have some of my ceramic work included in the 6th Annual Transfomer Auction and Benifit Party this November. Transformer is the best little alternative space in DC and they've been really supportive of my sculptural work and keep my drawings in their flatfile. There's a bunch of terrific artists in the show if you're in town...

sweaters and stars

I used the last few days of summer making and thinking about drawings. I had a really great studio visit from Heidi and cranked out a bunch of work including a bunch of small 8" x 10" drawings which are now up in the shop.
