Project Runway Season 2 [27 Mar 2006|10:11am] I just found out that I went to the same school as a bunch of the designers from season 2 of project runway. (For those of you who don't know, I went to the Fashion Institute of Design & Merchandising in downtown Los Angeles, where I studied textile design. Otherwise known as FIDM.) Quoting from the FIDM web site, "Santino Rice, Raymundo Baltazar, Daniel Franco (back again after Season One), and Nick Verreos all graduated from FIDM with degrees in Fashion Design, while Guadalupe Vidal earned her FIDM degree in Product Development." http://www.fidm.com/academics/majors/fashion-design/alumni/project-runway/ I know the season finale of project runway was ages ago and this is now old news. I had it recorded on Tivo and I watched it way after everyone else did. Just in case there was anyone else who hasn't seen the last one yet, I will put the rest of this under a cut.

Art Gallery Representation [27 Mar 2006|10:40am] I have some exciting news! It looks like I am going to be represented by a gallery very shortly. I have been in contact with the owner and will be sending her several pieces of my work; I just have to get them framed first. The gallery is in Nebraska, which should hopefully open up a whole new collector base for me. As of now, most of my US collectors are from the east coast and the southwest. I am working on some new metallic pieces to send to this gallery. I had almost decided to give up on creating metallic pieces. I have a really hard time photographing them and so they never look really good in my ebay listings. There are occasionally people who are brave enough to buy them, and I usually get emails from those people exclaiming how amazing the work looks in person and how it is so much better than the pictures. My metallic art really needs to be appreciated in person and I am excited to have an opportunity to actually show it to collectors in person. 26 comments|post comment
