Getting ready for the Blueprint Show in NYC!

I've been a busy bee as I prepare for the Blueprint Show in NYC May 20-23rd. There are two venues, Diane T Design will be at Shop Studio at 528 W. 39th Street in booth #45. I decided to do the show just three weeks ago, so I've been scrambling to get banners, business cards, and my portfolio together...all while going to my full-time day job.

Here are a few samples of art I'll be taking to the show.

Photography

I was just looking at a set of photos I took in 2011 while I was in NYC for three weeks. There are some good ones, I think.

My last day in New York

It's been a wild ride, two and a half weeks in New York City with all the sights, sounds and tastes that go along with it. I'm sad to leave yet ready to go home an see what comes of all that I have absorbed these last weeks. I'm sure I'll be more stylish and will incorporate the street styles I've seen in my travels around town. Here are a few more pictures from the last few days.

The sights in NYC

It was another busy day of walking, museum hopping and shopping in the Big Apple. I went to MOMA where I saw the De Kooning show as well as photography. This was my second visit for this trip. It's too much to take in all at once.
I headed to the International Center of Photography Museum and saw three great shows. My favorite was

Signs of Life: Photographs by Peter Sekaer. There was also an exhibit of photographs 

from the last ten years of Harper's Bazaar and a moving exhibit of photos from 9/11.

I ended up in the East Village at Vineiros...a famous Italian bakery and bought a Cannoli. It was yum...can't find any like that in Seattle. 

Here are some other scenes from the last two days.

I'm in NYC

Oy vey, I haven't posted in months. I was in Mexico for a week, then New Mexico for four days and now I'm in New York City! I'm here cat and apartment sitting for three weeks. I couldn't pass up the opportunity to live in the big apple like a local. I've just finished my second week and I haven't come close to seeing all the sights I want to see.

Here are a few highlights from my trip so far.

Printsource Preview

I've been furiously working on new designs for Printsource which is happening in NYC on April 12 and 13. Some of the work I create by hand usually starting with a line drawing or painting. Other work is created entirely on the computer. I hope to have 100 prints by April 2 so I've been working furiously. Here's a preview.
