Moving Forward!

Life has been full of many nice little things lately, from Donut Shop Dreams to Local government elections and more.

My good friend Alicia is doing her damnedest, along with another friend of hers, to open a 24-hour donut shop on Granby Street in downtown Norfolk called The Norfolk Donut Supply Company. She’s running an IndieGoGo.com campaign to help raise some start-up funds and demonstrate to other investors that there is a community interest. My husband is making a Donut-esque Pinup poster for her to send to donors as a reward for donating. 

If you’d like to read about her donut plans, please visit her website!

Also, my friend Jesse Scaccia, co-owner of AltDaily.com, is running for Norfolk, VA city council this May 1st. He’s a fascinating and sincere guy who has done much for Norfolk and its art community and is genuinely interested in improving Norfolk for everyone, not just artists. You can read about his campaign on his little Facebook page here.

A new site also covers the local art scene, promoting shows and individual artists. This niche needed to be filled. It’s called Art Scene Hamptonroads.

Tomorrow is  TCC’s Annual Student Art Show opening, and I’ll be attending! The New Waves 2012 show is still up, so if you’re a local, please stop in and check it out.

Here is a preview of the can I’m painting for the I Like Soup show to be displayed concurrently with the Andy Warhol Portraits show at Virginia MOCA this spring. I am turning mine into a kaleidoscope!
