Many Many things going on. - New Lino and a box.

Lots and lots going on. Sorry for the lack of updates this past week. Here are some things I've been up to:

-Spent 2 days in the dark room at school, printing photos for my mother and my friend Bhinesha.
-Helped Bhinesha move into her new apartment.
-sent out 6 packages.
-participated in the Arthouse 10000 Project, and sent out my Submission.
-did a photoshoot for my thesis ideas and prepared some sketches, once it's more finalized I'll blog about it in detail.
-working on a new litho which will be donated to the Inspired Art Chicago Charity project
-got my studypermit and CAQ all sorted out, now I am set for Canadian visa's for the next year.
-got my workstudy authorization sorted out (this was supposed to be the easy part... WRONG!)
-researched LOTS AND LOTS AND LOTS of galleries, residencies and some scholarships that I am going to apply for this month, October and November.
-bugged my landlord about our apartment (which is falling apart.. things are breaking left and right)
-set things up for my friend Veronika from Germany (who is arriving tomorrow for 1 semester of studies in Montreal)
-annoyed the hell out of my boyfriend when I wasn't feeling all that well over the weekend.
-bought a Stunt Kite (on sale) and tried it out with Scott last Sunday. It's going to take some practice, but DAMN so much fun!
-lost my ATM card again and got it replaced
-made cupcakes
-packed up everything that is left in my studio space at school (have to move it all out this weekend)
-worked hard on finishing the newest Linocut.
-ate AMAZING beefstew and cornbread that Scott cooked this weekend
-organized a collaborative Sketchbook exchange with a cool woman who I found through ArtHouse-coop. She lives in IOWA and we are going to do something like a Moleskin exchange.
-Scott and I discovered a coffeeshop/soap store not far from our house, where after talking to the owner I am going to put some items for Sale on Consignment (meaning, I'll get paid when something sells). For that I made a display box, packaged all my items, labeled them and typed up a consignment contract. Will drop that off Friday or so.
- ... much more!

Anyways. Here some photos of what's new:


This is the box with items to be sold in the coffeeshop.
