regan design.

we're making some t-shirts...

like, soon.

i'm not even sure where we're planning on selling them yet,
but we'll get to that.
locally? online? yes, both?
input?

i wanted to share a couple designs that i started.
as always, they are in raw form and may or may not be what we end up printing.

but nonetheless...
i should have some of rory's designs up in a few days when we get around to talking about anything other than fart jokes.
{we can't help it}
we are not the poster children for maturity.

i'm not quite sure who let us be in charge of running a business together,
but sometimes i wonder how we even dress ourselves in the morning.

oops!

i guess i took a little blog vacation.

not intentional, of course.

my mind has been twisted and wrapped around so many 'to-do's' i can't remember what i'm supposed to be doing.

i've found it very meditative to start drawing everyday.
i used to do it all the time, but sometimes life can get in the way.
i think i'll use some of these to get back into watercolor painting.
i found some really awesome paintings floating around the internet and i got inspired.
i haven't used this medium in a very, very long time.
and even then it was for various art classes and not because i wanted to be using them.
they're difficult!
{not unlike me}

i'm just going to dive in.
what's the worst that could happen, right?

my indieTACOMA project is moving along!
it's all happening so fast and with relative ease,
but i'm not as scared or frantic about it as i thought i would be.

wait until i set the date of the first show and have to go through all the vendor applications.
i'll probably be singing a different tune. :)

i took a couple shots of the venue where the craft show will be.
quality is low because of the silly iphone camera, but you get the picture.

looking toward the back of the speakeasy

from the stairs to the front of the venue.
this space is great.
open and airy with tons of natural light.
if all goes well we'll probably be using half of the upper section for vendors as well.
my initial goal was 25 artist, but it may be possible to fit more than 30.
that would be pretty neat.

actually, this is all pretty neat.

cat's outta the bag...

alright, after days of making sure everything is set in stone
i'm finally ready to share my dream come true with you!

for a long time i've been waiting and wanting tacoma to start up a monthly craft fair.
{but it never happened}
it was frustrating because there is so much talent here in the city and not many regularly available places to sell and display work.

until now!

i've teamed up with tacoma's speakeasy arts cooperative to start a monthly craft fair for tacoma artist to sell their creations and the greater public to enjoy.

it's been an amazing experience so far,
but i still have a ways to go!
i probably should have waited to share, but if i had to hold it in any longer i would have lost my mind!

it's called indieTACOMA arts & crafts.

it has been an amazing experience so far if only because i have met so many enthusiastic, supportive and creative people who want to see this work.
if you haven't heard of/ been to the speakeasy art co-op i recommend you check it out.
(both in person and online)
www.speakeasyartscooperative.com

the fees for an artist to join are incredibly low and the opportunity to share your work is abundant.
i'm so happy i stumbled upon this great opportunity to work with like-minded people.

i hope everyone can share in the excitement of bridging the gap between tacoma's talent and the people who can appreciate hard work.

this is going to be huge!!!
{i hope!}

my mind, body and soul are completely focused on getting this off the ground so that i can focus more on my handmade projects.

i never expected everything to happen this quickly,
but i'm not fighting it.

i'll do my best to regularly update with my projects as i go,
but i will also be talking about iTAC here until the website is up and running.

i'm so happy to finally share with you all!
it feels good to share. :)
