i he(art) seattle

This past Saturday was the Pratt Fine Arts Center’s 28th Annual Fine Art Auction and I, along with hundreds of other generous artist from the Pratt family, made a donation of a piece of work. There were over 300 works of arts at the auction and it was a wonderful event! There were 3 silent auctions and a live auction along with dinner. I can happily say my piece was bid on multiple times and the winner kept an eye on the piece until the close of the bid to make sure he took it home! YAY

This was my first time donation a piece, and even thought it was hard to see it go… I was happy to donate to Pratt and happy to see it so well received and going to a happy home! Makes me want to run back in the studio and make more art!

It was packed. I met cool, smart people. It was warm & sunny, then rainy & cold. I learned a bunch about prototyping. I will prototype more. I’m excited about playing with Microsoft Expression Studio and Flash Catalyst. I developed a long design / geeky book list. There is cool art in Austin. I was impressed visually and audibly. I’d recommend a visit to the “oasis” in Texas. But apparently, the summers are unbearably hot!

“Unnecessary creating” a.k.a. playtime.. playing around with textures and such. Listening to Todd Henry’s Accidental Creative podcasts & community has been keeping me inline with my output lately.
