In the end I am going to host a panda art show with my finished work. Wish me well!

Plans are to print some stickers this week in preparation for this weekend. I'm doing the Saturday Market on Sunday. It's supposed to be sunny! This is the first official weekend of the market and I want to be out there to get the season started. <br /><br />Also I'm wondering if they are going to do a Last Thursday this month on Alberta. Plans are to pack up the car and drive by to see if anyone is set up. Does anyone have any info on that or rumors? <br /><br />I'm spending all night bouncing on my yoga ball and sketching out some illustrations. I feel a little weird and shut in and maybe it's the weather but I'm feeling sluggish, hermit like and devoid of creativity. So I made myself look through my old scans of sketches. I'm tracing them in Illustrator and from there I can make prints, stickers, film to make new shirt designs and patches. <br /><br />See you this Sunday at the Saturday Market?<div class="blogger-post-footer"><img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/1137363508589164478-8391768526735466326?l=pandaartproject.blogspot.com' alt='' /></div>Mary Kellyhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/15104907212088315334noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1137363508589164478.post-81919571498061534112009-02-13T22:09:00.000-08:002009-02-13T22:10:48.193-08:00<object width="425" height="344"><param name="movie" value="http://www.youtube.com/v/tzsRzt2vNu4&hl=en&fs=1"></param><param name="allowFullScreen" value="true"></param><param name="allowscriptaccess" value="always"></param><embed src="http://www.youtube.com/v/tzsRzt2vNu4&hl=en&fs=1" type="application/x-shockwave-flash" allowscriptaccess="always" allowfullscreen="true" width="425" height="344"></embed></object><br /><br />while I work on more paintings, here is a bit of Panda love for you.<div class="blogger-post-footer"><img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/1137363508589164478-8191957149806153411?l=pandaartproject.blogspot.com' alt='' /></div>Mary Kellyhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/15104907212088315334noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1137363508589164478.post-80169905905134648352009-01-30T21:59:00.001-08:002009-01-30T22:01:29.646-08:00This card reminded me of a tonka truck.

I found them at my favorite recycle store <a href="http://www.scrapaction.org">SCRAP</a>. They are just a bit bigger than a business card and all cut with hole so they are ready to go canvas! I am in love with them already. <br /><br />Here is my first creation on my little wood sample cards.<br /><br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_eUZJJbqpNiI/SYPnfnTbWLI/AAAAAAAAAjc/lIo18EobA8c/s1600-h/1-goodbye.jpg"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 296px; height: 400px;" src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_eUZJJbqpNiI/SYPnfnTbWLI/AAAAAAAAAjc/lIo18EobA8c/s400/1-goodbye.jpg" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5297332117030262962" /></a><br />I was feeling a little sentimental last night. Saying goodbye to an old love. Bad break ups can be hard. I think these little pandas are going to illustrate my life this year, all my feelings, moods and inspirations. It will be intersting to look back at the end and see what I went through. For tonight I am happy but also sad. Saying goodbye to someone is sometimes the hardest thing to do but the best at the same time.<div class="blogger-post-footer"><img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/1137363508589164478-4009595333770385196?l=pandaartproject.blogspot.com' alt='' /></div>Mary Kellyhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/15104907212088315334noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1137363508589164478.post-31905236606219763422009-01-23T21:22:00.000-08:002009-01-23T21:26:44.245-08:00<a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_eUZJJbqpNiI/SXqmAnhIQ5I/AAAAAAAAAes/8J0WKIj-1o4/s1600-h/panda-climbling-sketch-1-23.jpg"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 312px; height: 400px;" src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_eUZJJbqpNiI/SXqmAnhIQ5I/AAAAAAAAAes/8J0WKIj-1o4/s400/panda-climbling-sketch-1-23.jpg" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5294726841465586578" /></a><br />The word of the week is "Climbing" from Illustration Friday: <a href="http://www.illustrationfriday.com">http://www.illustrationfriday.com</a><br /><br />Pandas!!!! <br /><br />So starting today I will be doing a Panda a day. It can be in any format: sketch, painting, plushie, shirt, screen-print. Whatever I can think of. This will be the start of a new blog that will end with an entire art show dedicated to PANDAS!!! This is a way to get myself to be more creative and doing work every day. <br /><br />I hope you love Pandas as much as I do. Tune in tomorrow for your next daily Panda!<div class="blogger-post-footer"><img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/1137363508589164478-3190523660621976342?l=pandaartproject.blogspot.com' alt='' /></div>Mary Kellyhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/15104907212088315334noreply@blogger.com4
