...and i'm still trying to figure out what to do next.
what i've done so far:
1. take down an art show
2. go to vegas
3. see the grand canyon for the first time
4. spend time with family
5. be still and think about what's important
6. get nostalgic and make a ton of 12-related stuff
7. work on my book
8. move apartments
9. re-connect with friends
10. enjoy having free time
but not enough free time to make this:

long weekend: stella, andrew, & seattle <3
*warning: this is a photo dump*
i was a lucky lady and got to go up to seattle this past weekend to see stella im hultberg and andrew hem's new solo shows at roq la rue.
it was lovely to see stella and matthew again (it's almost been a year!) and stella's pieces were beautiful as always. super moody this round and she's working with different angles/perspectives. awesome.
this was the first time i've seen large pieces from andrew and they were gorgeous! he usually works small because he's used to doing gouache, but he did almost all oil for this show.
andrew hem's infamous matchboxes
stella bella
jason limon's work was next door at suite 100's show 10x10.
best way to end a night - albacore & tuna toro!
scariest ice cream truck ever - why do they have pickles?
photos at seattle art museum that i wasn't supposed to take (>__<)
seattle sculpture garden
(^_____^)
i had the bestest weekend ever up there. the company was lovely and i ate the best food: my favorite bbq sandwich at honey hole, tapas at quinn's, and sushi from wasabi bistro! <3

this weekend...
go see coraline. you won't be sorry.
a lot of sweat, blood, and tears went into this project and i feel like it's one of the most visually stunning movies i've seen in a long time. see it in 3D if you can. it's the first 3D stereoscopic stop motion feature ever! and handmade in little ol' portland too. (^__^)
the promotion/advertising of the movie also focused on the handmade (done by w+k). just in case you haven't seen it, here are some pieces:
coraline boxes
coraline dunks & shoeboxes
the nitty gritty (strategy & recap of everything produced)
yay yay!

new 12er
attila joined us last week. he's patrick's tortoise and dan wieden agreed to let him live on the roof as the 12 mascot. we'll be building him a little grassy knoll up there soon, but in the meantime he's been sleeping in some hay in our space.

man on wire
um...wow.
i just finished watching 'man on wire' and it has to be one of the funniest, uplifting, interesting, and fascinating documentaries i have ever seen. it recounts the story of philippe petit and his dream to tightrope walk between the world trade center's twin towers (1974).
the story is told through petit, his friends, and accomplices in the challenge. most were only in their 20s and all were inspired by the fire and intensity of petit's desire. even petit sometimes thought it impossible, but with a little courage and a lot of planning, preparation, and the right connections, petit & friends were able to get through the world trade center's security and climb the 110 floors to the roofs of the then tallest buildings in the world.
the storytelling is amazing in the movie and surprisingly, there was an abundance of real footage of petit unicycling around paris doing circus tricks, practicing on his tightrope in his back garden, and discussions of them planning out the walk...and him constantly being arrested for his antics.
really, really phenomenal movie.

3-day weekend
this was a busy weekend. first thursday openings, art & music in the park, and the beach.
evan b. harris just opened another wonderful solo show at compound gallery. all the work was nautical themed this time and i love the nesting dolls he did!
fifty24pdx gallery featured the work of cody hudson this month. i originally saw his work in person two years ago when upper playground opened their portland location and it's changed so much since then - a lot more installation and exploration.
upper playground is going to be opening up a new location in seattle sometime this upcoming month. that makes locations in SF, portland, london, LA, sacramento, berkeley, and now seattle...all (except SF of course) opening in just the last two years!
upper playground had a party in the park on saturday and had live painting, live djs, and lots of lazing about in the beautiful weather.
king hercules
the beach was...gorgeous.
12 and friends went to ecola beach on sunday. the weather was overcast but mild and i spent the day sticking my hands in tide pools and cracks in rocks trying to pet the starfish and tiny baby hermit crabs.
richard the crab
CANDY!!!

fasciinatiion
mike from 12 broke out all his fenagling skills and scored some VIP tickets to the faint concert tonight. they're on tour to promote their forthcoming album 'fasciinatiion'. the faint hails from his hometown (omaha), so we had to go and represent 12... plus the faint is awesome.
it was a really rad concert and we were so close, you could feel their sweat.
the show was at the crystal ballroom, famous for its 'floating' mechanical dance floor. the floor is constructed so that it bounces and has give to it as people move across it - supposedly a lot better for dancer knees and ankles and a lot of fun for concerts.
the place was packed and people were throwing everything from bras to pants onstage. pants? kids nowadays.
so loud you had to text to talk to each other:
OMG! we <3 u faint! (^_~) lol!
