I do Lady(like) things!

Tonight is the night! Ladylike, an exploration of the dark side of female relationships, opens at the Sattelite Gallery in Asheville. This show is an 11 woman show curated by local artist Alli Good. (One Of my personal faves). There will be paintings, performance, installation, film(i believe) and sculpture. I am fucking stoked.

I stormed Alli's opening at the Sattelite just over 2 years ago and became an instant fan. Now I'm trying to become a collector. Art this amazing (while worth every penny) doesn't come cheap! We've gotten to know each other a little here and there by traveling in similar circles and vending our (very different) wares at the same shows. Although I am always trying to build relationships with strong, conscientious, artful women, I find these bonds to be extremely tenuous. Especially when I admire someone's work as much as I do Alli's.

I'm working on a piece inspired by the show's theme. I'll bring some photos to the table soon. My visual art is something I have a difficult time showing. But I am trying...

In other news:

1. I got a 1984 yamaha scooter. I love it! It's mid 80s stylings make me feel like I'm tooling around on a giant pair of pearl white RayBans.

2. We rescued a pup. Our big monster neede a puppy to love, (and my girl needed a little pup she could interact with more...she's injured and Ed is a TON of dog.) So we went to the pound to look at the pups and see if one would fit our home. Like the dipshit I am, I walked into the wrong building. Inside was an older toothless hillbilly surrendering the keyoooooootest little black pup. We took him home balls and all. We figured it was a win/win. It's one less pup draining the resources of the county shelter. He was free to adopt! And he fits in very well. Ed's kinda being an ass, but that is sort of to be expected. After all, he's about spoiled.

3. We have a buncha shows coming up for the holiday season. I'll be hearing back about a few of them shortly, so I'll post the holiday tour schedule as soon as confirmation arrives. Until the I'm a maniac behind the machine. Ties, hats, clothing, pendants, earrings, cuffs, belts, wallets, handbags, messenger bags, repeat!

We'll talk to you soon(and bring photos!) Blogland.
