* and totally star-struck that a project I participated in has anything to do with dave eggers, by the way.

Less than a week from now, my art show opens on September 4th at Giant Robot in NYC, 437 E 9th St! A couple sneak peeks are available here, such as the image below:

Giant Robot writes about the show:

Susie Ghahremani creates patchwork-inspired illustrations that are simple in design, complex in execution, and all-around pleasing to the eye. In addition to making two-dimensional art, she crafts tote bags, buttons, wallets, stationery, and other goodies. The RISD graduate has contributed work to Nickelodeon, Chronicle Books, and The New York Times, and was featured in the 2010 The Exquisite Book art book. Inspired by patterns, crafts, and the natural world, Susie is creating super-detailed works for the show. With approximately 50 new works showcased in “Out and About”, the cool, retro-colored collection will also include paintings from Susie’s recent stationery collection with Chronicle Books.

Please pass it on!
And, if you’re able to attend the show, please share photos on my facebook page at http://facebook.com/boygirlpartyfb

It’s been very busy around here!

Saturday, September 4th (less than two weeks away!), I have an art show in NYC titled “Out and About” at Giant Robot, 437 E. 9th St, NYC with Kelly Tunstall. I think it’s my strongest work to date, and includes many originals from my forthcoming publishing projects. Hope you enjoy! Reception begins at 6:30 and the show will run through the month.

The Boygirlparty Shop just had its grand reopening, and it’s chock full of new indie goods for the fall made by me, including:

Finch t-shirts, starry owl tote bags, and treetops journals are all back in stock as well, so come visit and see the array!

Ok, there’s more to share but this blog post is plenty long. So, coming soon – sneak peeks from the NYC art show…

I’m participating in my first Ray at Night here in San Diego this Saturday, July 10th. Ray at Night is an art event in North Park where 40+ local businesses and galleries in the area showcase artwork mostly by locals, and it happens every month on the second Saturday.

My art opening will be hosted by Warp 9 Imaging at 3820 1/2 Ray St. I’ll be showing 25 new miniature paintings and some older works as well! The opening runs from 6 – 9pm. A preview of the work I’ve made for the show is below!

If you’re unable to make it to my San Diego show, you can also check out my work online in the Enormous Tiny Art Show at Nahcotta currently running.

Thanks for keeping in touch with me and my work!

today i turn 30! besides that enormous semi-depressing life milestone, i’ve been super busy over here working on spring 2011′s publishing products & preparing for art shows!

check out this inspired & amazing use of my treetops journal on the SF MOMA blog!

also, it’s been awhile since the last Snoozer update, probably because there hasn’t been much to update. so here’s a sort of recent Snoozer song. It was recorded at the Habitat and my awesome friend Roy plays the drums on it.

new in the shop: lots of buttons! (see below) & lots of t-shirts! (see below) …a.k.a. lots of fun!

thanks for reading!
