With a new semester under belt at Laney College, my plan is to create new designs while learning new techniques at the same time in typography and elements of graphic arts. In the past, I’ve done some with TV, sports, and even some from Kevin’s Cards. So, why should this year be any different? It’s… Continue reading New Designs/Kevin’s Cards Calendars/Discontinued Giveaways
uCamps Alumni Reunion
The uCamps 3rd Annual Alumni Camp was originally scheduled for this weekend at Camp Jack Hazard in Dardanelle, CA. However, it was postponed due to the Donell Fire that occurred in the area, which was a huge disappointment for a lot of former campers, counselors, and staff; especially to those who were planning to travel… Continue reading uCamps Alumni Reunion
Fremont Festival of the Arts
Last weekend, I attended the 35th Annual Fremont Festival of the Arts in my hometown of Fremont, CA. As with all the other ones I’ve attended, most of the stuff was pretty much the same. The biggest surprise was seeing Linda Cullen in my own neck of the woods, and I had a feeling she… Continue reading Fremont Festival of the Arts

California State Fair
Yesterday, I attended the California State Fair at Sacramento’s Cal Expo. This event is bigger than the Alameda County Fair, but it’s still America’s favorite summer pastime for all ages, whether it’s riding the carnival rides, eating fried junk food, and exploring the different exhibits. Unlike the county fair, the state fair’s has exhibits that… Continue reading California State Fair

Yesterday’s final sale turned out to be a strong finish! Once again, I had my first customer before opening, courtesy of Lisa Brightfire Photography. Also for the first time, I had more paintings sold which increased from the previous days.

Artist Alley Final Day
Yesterday’s sale got off to a great start because I had one customer buy some cards right before the fair opened, which has never happened in the last two years! Other than that, it was a pretty slow day due to the hot weather. However, I did manage to sell another two paintings and more… Continue reading Artist Alley Final Day
Artist Alley Day 4/Price Reduction
Yesterday’s card sale was a little slow to start, but I did manage to get more sales including one lady from the UK and another two paintings sold from my former Artist Alley manager Melanie Johnston, and an old classmate from school. As I mentioned before, it’s usually slow during the first part, but crowds… Continue reading Artist Alley Day 4/Price Reduction
Artist Alley Day 3
Yesterday’s card sale was a little slower, but turned out to be another good sale! The main reason is because the morning hours tend to be slower, but it really picks up in the late afternoon and early evening. With another couple of paintings sold and more cards bought, it’s really keeping the customers coming… Continue reading Artist Alley Day 3
