boygirlparty.com: the news according to susie

You can see 10 of my recent paintings up at the awesome art gallery Nahcotta in Portsmouth, NH as part of their Enormous Tiny Art Show! The paintings on display are part of my ongoing series of foxes & wolves. Enjoy!

I’ve added several paintings to the Boygirlparty shop as well – in addition to new t-shirts, greeting cards, magnets, and more!

Soon, soon… My Spring 2011 collection of stationery from Chronicle Books is nearing release, and my excitement is off the charts! Preview/preorder the collection here: http://tinyurl.com/susie-at-chroniclebooks
And stay tuned for further updates about the Travel Journal, Pocket Agenda, Eco Journal and Birds of a Feather notecards that are soon to be released!

Lastly, I’ve abandoned the boygirlparty podcast in favor of an easy-to-use, free & fun mix sharing website called 8tracks, so if you’d like to continue listening to the music I prefer when painting, you may join me at:
