Upcoming events!

Today as I continue my work on the Dr. Ferretstein Project, I am compelled to post these two bits of good news that have come to me as of last week.

1. I have a piece on display in the Toonseum! In downtown Pittsburgh.
The show features the top 25 best covers of the Pittsburgh City Paper.
The opening night has its reception on Friday, March 19 at 5pm to 7pm, but the show is set to be up until April 4th. Not only will the cover itself be on display, but the original oil painting I did for it will too.

You may be saying "Rhonda, which piece made it in?" It was the 2005 New Years issue:


But I strongly recommend seeing the original for yourself, its a different experience. And the other covers aren't too shabby either. :o) Which brings us to the second point of good news!

2. I have been accepted into the Three Rivers Arts Festival artists market!
I will be there in booth #59, June 9-13. Noon to 8. Its very interesting prospect for me. I'm not entirely sure how my work will be perceived, or how it will sell in a shopping environment primarily for decorative arts. My work has always been focused on telling a story, so we will see how it goes. Maybe some die-hard fans will make it out to purchase some of my original art that has previously not been available on any market. :o) Most of it is oil paint, and tends to be ridiculously large in size, but I will be sure to have some giclee prints and sketches available too.
