Stationary Projects and a RISD Update

So I had my talk at RISD, which went swimmingly! Turns out 75 people RSVPed for the event, but a flash blizzard (haha, yeah, seriously) turned up as we were setting up so we had a comfy 30 or so people, pretty evenly divided between students and alumni. The talk went very well and even a little longer than expected, and I was also able to hang out with Mary Jane Begin, a former teacher, and get some professional suggestions as to the course of actions for several projects. All in all, fantastic.

New project planning for the Summer Art Sale! No news yet as to the results of the RISD Student and Alumni Spring Art Sale, but I'm pretty sure that no matter what I'll find my way to a portion of someone's table. That being said, I have been buffing up my collection of animals for my Magnanimals magnet sets, as well as putting some thought into stationary. The tomato vine design on my website ("first blush"), which is pictured on the flower vase, is a 2-layer design, with the watercolors on a separate layer from the line art. I've been printing just the lines on some nice quality watercolor paper and filling in the green/yellow/orange with watercolors by hand. They are about 4" x 5" and will be available for the sale, and I'm putting research into setting up a paypal on my website.
