Good Read

The past few days have been really busy and a little bit stressful but my boyfriend and I just signed a lease on a house that will be ours ours ours. I'm so excited to finally have a place. It's a really cute two story white house with a big back yard that's perfect for gardening. Now I just need to find one of those pesky jobs so I can afford it...

In the meantime I discovered this amazing anthology by Nicole Georges. Maybe you all know her already, I sometimes tend to be the last to know about someone, but she is quite spectacular and has a great sense of humor when creating her stylish zines. I got the Invincible Summer volume 2 at Quimbys. I've been trying to read it very slowly because I want to savor it. Since I've been feeling so down lately this has really inspired me to get up and keep at it. I ordered Volume 1 today from her Etsy shop. All her work in her shop is very cheap and affordable and absolutely darling. Explore her website here and get to know this spectacular artist.

Also! Don't forget (because it's my job not to let you...) Summertime Giveaway here...

Over it...

In my shop... four deer, one great price!

Alright, no more feeling sorry for myself. Time to get back on the horse and make some art and find a job. I had a great weekend that helped get me back into the swing of things. My friend Cassie and I went to the gallery where our grad show is (230 N. Superior River North area) and opened it up for the day. Only two people came in but that's two more that the usual number so it was pretty successful. My friend Darren met me in the city after and I finally went to Quimby's which is a really cool zine and comic store. I got a couple of awesome books that I will talk more about later. We also ate at a yummy pizza place called Crust. If you are in Chicago try it out. It's a really great organic eatery with delicious cocktails.

Okay, I'm finished being a Chicago billboard. Thanks to those of you who told me to hang in there. I really try to be a positive person, there are just days where everything gets to me. I'm going to try to rise above it and keep on truckin'.

Please check out my giveaway here. This little ghost is dying for a new home.

I wasn't trying to be funny by saying ghost and dying. I swear it just came out that way.
