I rarely LOVE my job(s)

but I almost always love the people I work with!

Fake Birthday!

Yesterday was my fake birthday, in which I celebrated with all my VA friends, because my real birthday will be spent in NJ with my boo.

Let me just say, I love my friends, and I love birthday crowns.

TA-DA!!!

Hello everyone,

I'm pleased to announce that I'm starting a new Etsy shop based on my postcards and their success at the Bizarre Market!

SendMorePostcards.etsy.com

I am going to try to add a new design every couple days (yikes!!) and work with the philosophy that sending more postcards would make the world better, because it's a cheap and creative way to tell people you care!

Spread this link far and wide, especially to people who: love someone far away, want to bring back real letters/postcards, enjoy music and/or photography, love someone who lives close, etc.

Here's one of my favorites as an example, made with my dear dear fellow CTYers in mind, the ones who first inspired me to use and appreciate the USPS:

New Photos - Richmond Vareitease!

A couple weeks ago, I was fortunate enough to take photos at the Richmond Varietease Sass and Class show; it was a total blast! All the best shots will be up soon, but for now, a couple samples:

This is my life.

The other day at Plan 9, someone payed in over $30 worth of gold dollar coins. Inconvenient? Yes. Leading to hilarious pirate-money photoshoot? Yes also.

PILES AND PILES OF GOLDDDDDD:

Arts + Crafts fair TOMORROW!

Hi everyone!

Please please please excuse the lack of updates. I've been very hard at work all summer on some new ideas, new ways of incorporating photos into different projects, and tomorrow at the Bizarre Market (see flier below) at the Visual Arts Center (Main St, RVA, 1pm - 4pm) I will be debuting a brand-spanking-new project:

lyrics - music + photos
a series of postcards
[click here for a sample!]

and of course I'll have some regular photos and postcards for sale! A portion of the proceeds actually go to the Center, which is a fantastic place and where I am learning to use Illustrator better! Woo!

Please stop by and say hi to my and the truly amazing Jen!
