West Elm recap

This is what my merch looks like inside a West Elm store. Even without a 6-ft. table to lug around, I was reminded of how much work even a 3 hour event can be, and how much preparation is required. But it was so much fun to set up with more space and more furniture at my disposal than I've ever had. It really was like having my own store for a night, with lighting, music, and, best of all, lots of customers! I want to thank everyone who came by to say hi and take a piece of MamaRobot home with them. I hope you all enjoy your purchases and come see me here real soon!

West Elm

I'm excited to announce that the nice folks at West Elm have invited me to set up a MamaRobot pop-up shop this Thursday night! If you're in the NYC area, please stop by and check out the goodies. I'll have a limited selection of prints, buttons, magnets, shirts, and greeting cards, all displayed on gorgeous West Elm furniture. Think they'll let me walk out with a lamp?

Too Art for TV 5!

If you can get to Brooklyn this Friday, come see Too Art For TV 5. 40 artists from the animation industry will show off their personal work, ranging from paintings to sculptures to film. It's always a fantastic assortment of exciting stuff, plus music and beer and crowds of fun people. A perfect Friday evening. Follow the link for specifics. See you there!

Surprise

Hi there. Here is the third and final painting I made for the upcoming Too Art for TV show. If you're in the New York area, please come see my work along with paintings by 40 artists from the animation industry.
If you're an artist or someone who appreciates handmade things, please check out Handmade for Japan. They will be holding an auction next week to raise money for disaster relief. This is a great way to show your love for the people of Japan.
Finally, thanks to every customer and supporter who helped my Etsy shop make it to 1000 sales. I appreciate it so much. If you've ever purchased a MamaRobot item (or left a comment on this blog, or included an item of mine in your Etsy treasury, or retweeted a sale I was having), know that you've helped make my dreams come true.

Uninvited

Here's another painting for the upcoming Too Art For TV show. I'm still really loving pairing large animals with birds. I like how birds are so small and soft and yet can be a bit sinister too. Especially when you get a bunch of them together.

Too Art for TV 5

This is the third of three paintings I have in the upcoming Too Art for TV exhibit. The theme of my paintings is "Parties gone wrong". This painting was supposed to be about an awkward encounter at a party, but the way it turned out almost seems as though these two were in the middle of a private discussion that you, the viewer, has interrupted. Either way, I like it.

The Robot Alphabet

Big news today! I have compiled all of my Robot Alphabet prints into a picture book that you can download to your Kindle or iPhone! Follow this link and take a peek. If you don't have a Kindle you can get the Kindle reader app for free. That way, you can see the book in full color, too. I've priced the book at $2.99 but you can also download a free sample. If you do, please leave a comment and let me know how it looks on your device. I would love to hear what you think about my latest venture!
