If anyone wants to buy me a gift, you know, just for being me, I'd like this portrait of myself that a nice artist painted for me for Nationale's one year anniversary show.Feeling pretty good, sitting at the Red e taking a break from grad school portfolio lay-outs. Will be done with all in 5 days, woo hoo. Feminist Art T-shirts sent to NYC, Spain, Germany. For some reason, it's the foreigners who are still feminists? C'mon Americans/Canadians, catch the spirit and order a shirt.

ART PARTY STARTS FEB 5th 2010
Jenny and I are starting a new art night at Branx, and we need your help! Especially if you are an installation/performance/video artist.
Check it:
Hi friends!
I'm very excited to let you know about a new party that Jenny Hoyston and myself are planning, called ART PARTY. It is going to take place every First Friday, at Branx after all the gallery shows on the Eastside close their openings. It is designed to be a place where artists, musicians, and enthusiasts can go, hang out, and get their minds blown open by more art/music/happenings.
I had been getting really bored of just going to just dance nights with DJs playing all the same music, and going to shows with like 4 or 5 bands and nothing else, or just going to stiff art openings where no one knows what to do except double-fist free wine and not talk about the art on the wall...so we decided to combine all of this into one action-packed night. We're going have one band/music act, 2-3 DJs, 2-3 artists, and other surprise art actions like guerrilla fashion shows or dance troupes. This shit is not going to be stuffy OR boring.
We are building out a cove/installation nook/chill out space where you can make an installation! We will have wall space and equipment for you to hang art, project videos, and do sock puppet shows (etc.)! We have a stage/dance floor where you can create anything you possibly desire. This would also be a good place for you to try something new, that you've wanted to try. A side project that's been lurking on your four-track. An idea for an installation involving feathers and paper mache that's been eating at your brain.
I would like super talented, amazing, special, creative genius, mind-blowing friends and others to be part of this. If you are an artist, musician, writer, sculptor, publisher, floor dancer, fashion designer, make up artist, junk collector, dj, mime, dancer, band member, etc etc and would like to be involved, PLEASE LET ME KNOW!!!
Here is the mercury's call out.
Holler at me if you are interested! xx

FUCK YES

My book Yoko and Moon, Published by Publication Studio, is now carried at one of my very favorite gallery/shops in the universe, Nationale, run by a most charming, talented, brilliant, beautiful, honest French woman by the name of May. May and I were introduced when she curated my work for a show at Stumptown, and I am so lucky to know her. She is truly an inspiration and true gem. Go to her store, buy some of her amazing items, such as soap shipped right from France, wonderfully curated/arranged books, or stellar art. (or my book, he he.) Also, Nationale is having a show for their first birthday, the opening is December 11th, from 6-9.
Nationale
28th & Burnside.
Wednesday-Sunday: 12pm-6pm
Online purchase available by email

PS...My feminist shirts are coming soon on the internets, I just hand-bleached, and hand-dyed a whole batch of them, and they are looking beauteous. Stay tuned.

So my friends Mark + Jason made something really funny. It is a Lady Gaga/design parody called "Neutraface". I have a cameo in it. Check it out, it's hilarious. And very well done.
