Not only that, but you can visit Stewart & I this Saturday, April 20th, at the LA Times Festival of Books! We’ll be in the Penguin booth signing books and acting silly from 4:00 to 4:45! We hope to see you there! Stewart Puppet will be on his best behavior, and promises not to bite anyone!*
*he says a nibble doesn’t count.
This is the happiest thing! A second grade class drew their very own versions of Stewart— and spider web kingdoms too! This makes me smile so big it’s outrageous. And what amazing artists her kids are! They’re after my job! haha! I’d love to meet this teacher and send her class a thank you from Stewart, so if you’re reading this GRichArt— send me an email!!!
Hey, guess what! I’m gonna be on Food Network this weekend! Why, you ask? Well, I painted this totally adorable haunted house for Giada at Home’s Halloween Special, and acted-a-fool in front of the camera and everything. The director was th
Magical times at The Frugal Frigate A Children’s Bookstore! Stewart made lots of new friends, and I got to hug all manner of wonderful humans (of both adult and kid variety!) It’s such a fantastic store— if you’re anywhere near Redlands, CA you have to head there and experience it! Thank you times a zillion to all the lovely parents & kiddos who joined us! We had a wonderful time! And super extra thanks to the unstoppably talented Sarah Rivera Photography for these amazing images!
Wednesday night was amazing! I was asked to host the EFFEN VODKA Art of Design Event at Marvimon in Downtown Los Angeles! Teams of mixologists from around LA completed “Iron Chef” style to create the most delicious new EFFEN cocktail, and I displayed brand new EFFEN-inspired art. It was delicious, it was arty, and it was vodka-tacular! An all around success! Here’s some pics from the event! :)
MonochromeEffect interviewed me! And they even said nice things! (They also said I owned a gallery? I wish! I worked at a gallery— but I was also speaking REALLY quickly and am amazed the journalist understood me at all. She gets 60000 gold stars from me. And a hug!) READ IT A LOT! TELL ME WHAT YOU THINK! LOOK FOR THE HIDDEN PASSWORD!!
So what if I have a girl crush on the Anna Dolores Blog? She has excellent taste! If you haven’t checked her out before, NOW is the perfect time! She even did a little ditty on bARTon art! I’m blushing! :)
