Chicago!

I am off to Chicago in a few weeks.
If you're from the Windy City and have some suggestions for my trip don't hold back!
Thanks.

Very inky over here on the weekend

On the weekend in prep for my holiday sale next Saturday I printed a new edition of my big brogue shoe print.
I printed a varied edition with ochre, teal + blue versions.
Below are some pics of the process.

After the first pass with ochre ink the prints dry in my map drawers.


Here are the blue ones.

The very important pizza dinner break with my assistant.

Next day pass 2 with black ink.

Finished prints drying.

My Island of Dr. Moreau Penguin Print was featured in the Homes section of the National Post on Saturday in an article on what to buy for the literary lover on your list. Thanks to writer Iris Benaroia.

Creative Morning 1 was Fantastic

Helen Kerr and Nigel Smith of Kerr Smith Design.

The Design Exchange setting was A+, the Helen Kerr/ Nigel Smith talk was fantastic,
and the danishes + coffee delish!
Congrats to Behrouz Hariri for organizing all.
Added bonus: The 2011 Design Exchange Awards Exhibit was up and was quite great.
Much to write about - but am dashing out! For now see some pics at the CM blog here.
Will write a longer post about it tomorrow.
