Lady Dynamite on Netfix

Netflix New Series: Lady Dynamite

I'm so excited!!!!! About a year ago, I received an email from a woman decorating the set of a new TV show. She wanted a piece of pug art. The show stars Maria Bamford. I have a friend who has kids in the business and know from her how hard it is to get a pilot to air much less get it to TV, I'm thinking it's about a 1% chance.  I called her just to check in and she asked me the name of the series and I told her, and she called me back, and said, Kristin, it's a 13 episode series on Netflix, they don't do pilots and 13 episodes is a really big deal. Now I'm super excited! I recently emailed the woman I had worked with in LA, she sent me these pictures of the set. The show is rumored to air May 20th. 

These are photos she sent me while filming the show,

and on the set.

 Originally she wanted to buy a small painting of a pug in a beret, I had just sold that particular painting, so I asked her, to send me actual photos of Maria's dogs, and I would paint them. She just wanted the beret painting, then at the last minute she added the pug in the field of pink flowers. She told me the artwork is in very prominent places on the show and practically in every scene. Wow!

I will have these as prints on my etsy site, Camp Studios

the prints will be available towards the end of May.

Day 105. Heart.

My little niece declared herself a donutarian when she was three, same time as her mother declared herself a vegetarian. She has held steadfast to her belief and passion. She has spirit and heart. So this little painting is in honor of her and all donut lovers everywhere!

Day 104. Lock and Key

The challenge is a word or phrase everyday, and I paint it. Today I didn't feel like painting a lock and key. I didn't want to use brown. Mostly because I didn't think I could do it. But because I've been painting everyday for the last 103 days I did it anyway. Surprise! Afterwards I felt like I had unlocked a little part of me. 

Happy Camper Art Exhibition

Show March 2nd - May 31st, 2016

Edina Senior Center

Artist Reception March 4th, 5-7pm

My first official show. I'm nervous and excited and looking forward to the experience. I've been on the waiting list for over 2 years (wow that went fast) and knew it was coming but I didn't really do anything about it. I paint everyday, but what about marketing? Letting people know? So the day has arrived and now, just like many 4th graders, I have just a few hours to get my homework done.
