A busy week in Artlandia!

| Getting ready to bring this adorable creature home! |
I rarely take days off from the studio, but this past week I took a few days out to clean, paint, reorganize my bedroom in preparation of my feline baby's arrival. Naturally, Mini helped, and apparently it was exhausting. I also did a lot of work in the garden, since I feel like between the late spring and show preparations things had gotten a little behind. I think we're back on track.

It was good to spend a few days taking care of non-studio related things, but I don't like to be away too long. I reprinted this little gem, which for various reasons, keeps getting edited out and is yet to make it into a finished collage.With the exception of the rocks, a lot of these parts hadn't made it into a collage yet, and I think it's time :).

In a blast from the past - this chimera figure with a snow leopard body and my head in a dark landscape goes way (way) back to my school days, pre-blog. Here it is in a piece from January 2008 - my techniques have changed a lot since then, but I still heart chimeras, and it's funny to me how much the current collage in process reminds me of this student work.
