2 chance 2 check out Sleepy Robot 13 this weekend

On Saturday 8/14/10 Sleepy Robot 13 will have booths set up in 2 locations. You can catch Creator Lisastarchild at Grace Park in Akron, OH 10am-6pm and a smaller Sleepy Robot 13 booth at the Lakewood Car Kulture show on Madison Ave. in Lakewood, OH 10am-6pm. So if your looking for something to do this weekend, come out for some food, fun, drinks and a lot of art! Oh and don't forget to say hi to Vanessa and I.

Finally Some Booth Pics!

I have forgotten to take pictures at almost all my recent shows(I received a few emails recently reminding me of this!)I finally remembered this time! Sorry no pics of me in my booth ): But you don't want to see me anyways lol! The following pics are from the "Art Is Alive" in North Canton, Ohio this past Weekend. Friday was a looooooong day. I got up at 6am to finish up last minute items and parts of my display. The show didn't start until 5 but I had to be set up by 3. I got to there at around 1 and was done setting up by 4:15 (I would have been faster but I had a mishap with my table, I really need to get a new one!) I had a lot more space than I was intending (as I had a corner spot) I should have brought a 2nd smaller table so I could have spread my items out more, but it all still worked out ok. The show didn't end until 11pm. There were a lot of big crowds so by 11 I was exhausted! I finished covering up my table and left around 11:30. I got home about 12:15, but it wasn't bed time yet! I still had 3 custom orders people had placed during the show to complete that they were pick up the next day during the 2nd part of the show. I finally went to bed around 2:45 in the morning, but it wasn't the best sleep due to butters snoring all night. I got up around 6:00am the next day to finish painting and glazing my custom orders (I usually don't do much painting, but someone requested a robot wearing a Lebron James jersey. I had to paint on the name as well as the numbers. I left for the show at around 9:45. The show didn't start until 11 this day but I wanted to be a little early so I could re-set up what I had to take down to cover up my table and to get coffee. Oh sweet, sweet coffee! All in all it was a great show and there were some amazing artists there. I can't wait until next year!

On Saturday March 27th I will be a part of the Cirque Imaginaire:Traveling Art Gallery. I've been working lately on pieces specifically for this show as well as for my Etsy shop.

Some are available on Etsy now, but most of them will be for sale during Cirque Imaginaire.

Not Juried In...

I always get a little bummed out when I'm not picked for a show, especially one I am really looking forward to. I applied for the Bazaar Bizarre Valentine show over a month ago when I first heard about it and had already begun making stuff for it, then WHAM! Today I get an email stating I wasn't admitted to the show as a vendor and my table fee would be refunded. I have been a little depressed about this all day because I really wanted to do this show and it kinda made me feel like my stuff wasn't good enough ):

An All Around Awesome Week!

So this week was pretty cool. I'm going to be featured in an issue of Synergy magazine, I have a Radio interview in Florida at the end of the month, I'll be apart of the Cirque Imaginaire Art Show / Bazaar in March and I just saved a bunch of money on my car insurance! lol (I had to throw in that last one, it just seemed appropriate.)Now if the weekend is as good as the rest of the week has been I may go into awesome overload!
