Artshow on Central

I am involved with an international art exchange sponsored by Women & Creativity (www.womenandcreativity.org). This is the second year that I have participated and it is amazingly fun! Basically what happens is you are sent 10 small cards on which you do what ever you want: art, poetry, etc... Then you send them back and once all of the participants have returned their cards, they are mixed up and 10 cards from other artists are sent to you. So, in exchange for your 10 cards, you receive a card from 10 different people.


This year, I decided to do ink designs on my cards. With a retro-feel, these cards were inspired by a pen and ink artist that I follow in Tumbler.

Also, Women & Creativity did something a little different this year. They had a deadline to return your cards and if you made it before this deadline, they would choose a card or two to display in two different pop-up art shows in Albuquerque, NM. I missed going to the first one but I was able to see the second. They chose 4 of my cards to display in the window of the Maple Street Dance Space on Central Ave in Albuquerque!!! How awesome is that to have your artwork displayed on Central?!?




Above, you can see the beautiful display windows that were perfect for this art show!




Can you spot my 4 cards in the pictures above? 

This was a huge honor to be chosen to be in this art show. It is a very gratifying feeling to see your art being displayed in such a public way. I guess you could say this is just one step closer to one of my goals: to have my artwork displayed in a museum! 

As I wait for my 10 unique cards to arrive, I will continue to create other works of art!

Until then,

It's a new year so I think it's time for a new beginning.  As part of my new years resolution, I've decided to start a blog about my life.  I'll post about school, crafts, and whatever else pops up into my life this year.  I don't have much to say now, but as I get a hang of blogging and get used to blogger, I'm sure you'll hear more from me. Happy New Year and I hope 2012 is an inspirational year for everyone! -Fritz

Finished with Project 1 So in my studio architecture class we just completed our first project. We had to design a small house for 2 people. It was pretty fun. I was kind of like a start up project so the teacher could see where we all stand and so we could see how he works. These are my final boards and my final model. I did everything by hand. We had the choice of doing our boards digitally but my style is all by hand.  This past Monday we got our new project that we will be working on for the rest of the semester. We have to design a small theater on a certain location on our campus. It's a pretty interesting project. I just see myself getting really overwhelmed with it though. There are a lot of specifications that we are required to have for the building and we have to go along with the city code. Given I had more time, I wouldn't be too worried about this project but since we only have till the end of the semester, its going to be rough!  I hope e...
