boygirlparty.com: the news according to susie

my art show opens in NYC this saturday!

i was nominated for best DIY designer of 2010 by venus magazine (please vote for me!) (yay!!!)

i am in poppytalk handmade this month!

the exquisite book (i am in) is released tomorrow! (amazon link) *

my sparkling sea noteblock is available today! (amazon link)

my song is used in this video for the book “creative, inc”, a fantastic book about freelancing! coincidentally (completely) it is a song about when i first started freelancing.

and that is a little slice of what is new in my life these days!

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

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!

This morning i was thinking about that song (“It’s raining, it’s pouring…”) as it uncharacteristically rained and I realized it’s really more about a concussion than it is about raining.

So is it April already?? a little birdie tells me you may or may not be able to find a painting by me produced as a limited edition print on Tiny Showcase tomorrow! And you may recognize it from over here! A portion of the proceeds from the print sales will benefit Project Wildlife, a wildlife rehabilitation non-profit here in San Diego that I have volunteered at.

New in the shop! Glass magnets of many sorts: like these and these & perhaps most exciting, my new collection of buttons produced by Badge Bomb over here! Some new giclee prints, t-shirts, and other fun things are new to the shop as well, enjoy!

Then, some upcoming events! On Sunday, April 25th I will be signing books & giving high fives at the LA Times Festival of Books at the Giant Robot booth (#360) from 3:00 – 4:30pm– More info over here on my facebook page! Then next month I will have some mini paintings in the Enormous Tiny Art show curated by Nahcotta in June, and a show with Kelly Tunstall in New York at Giant Robot in September. Good times.

Well this has become a very long update so now I’ll end it with a couple photos.
Thanks for keeping in touch!

seems like i’ve had a ton of updates for you lately!

If you’re in the LA area, I have work in a group show this Saturday, March 13th titled “Patchwork” at Giant Robot, a collection of small works on fabric. More info on the show here & attached is a sneak peek at my work in the show…

Today I updated the shop with tons of new stuff like these magnets & this art print & this hoodie. Check out all the latest additions: http://shop.boygirlparty.com

happy new t-shirt day! i’ve added 5 new styles of t-shirts/hoodies to the shop. See them & everything else new in the shop!

Also, thought this would be fun to share…it’s an illustration from the vaults. I created it a few years ago for a project where different artists were asked to create a portrait of a different president! I got first dibs on Lincoln (I am, after all, originally from the land of lincoln / illinois…) There was a lot of runaround on the project and the ball was dropped by the person putting it together (hey, it happens), so my illustration never went to print, but I just found the file on my computer the other day, so here it is for you to see many years later! Enjoy!
