"Fabulous-Friends-(First)-Friday!"

Soo I decided that since I've rejoined the working world part time (got to pay those pesky bills) as well as a new big project and several smaller ones, 'my fabulous friends' will have to be a monthly treat instead of a weekly deal, for the sake of time..or lack there of. So watch for these uuber talented folks on the first Friday of each month and show them some love by checking out their websites!

Hello September! When did that happen?? Summer came and went so fast this year, but it sure was a good one, filled with lots of visits with friends and family from near and far, soaking up the Maine summer sun. We had one particularly awesome evening consisting of yummy flatbread pizza, summer ales, and lots of laughs, with a fabulous friend this summer--

Anthony Crisafulli!

He's an incredibly talented photographer, who's currently based in Hartford, CT. His work ranges from people and places, to architectural photography (see http://www.robertbensonphoto.com/ where he is a photographer's assistant). Tony is a fellow 2007 UHA graduate, and everyone who knows him knows what a dedicated and creative soul he is. Some of us were even fortunate enough to be subjects of his work!

Above, my college roommates and I posed for our portrait in a series called "Proximity" (2007).

This print hangs proudly in my studio and ~~probably~~ definitely always will!

This gem below isn't in his official portfolio, I'm sure, but it certainly is one of the best polaroids ever taken (and he has taken a LOT of polaroids!):

It's "Look at My Fabulous Friends Friday!"

It's that time again! Time for you to meet another of my wonderfully talented friends! There are so many to pick from, and this week goes to my favorite little printmaker--Erin Jenkins!

Another UHA alum, Erin came to Maine for a short vacation last weekend, so we got to catch up on life and art, after several years of busy opposite schedules. AND I bought a "Sun Globes" print from her current, beautiful, solo show, "Carved" which is up at Silo gallery in New Milford, CT. I absolutely love my new yellow print, it's graphic and delicate design makes me feel so cheerful when I look at it...I can't wait to get a frame and find a home for it on my wall!

Original wood blocks from the "Carved" show series. I love seeing the wood blocks and how these are displayed. The whole process is such an art in itself.
