here's my excuse

you know how sometimes i take long hiatuses from updating this blog because i randomly up and move to mexico to teach kids english for 3 months?

. . .

you don't? well. that's because this is the first time it happened.

so i will express my sincere apologize in two forms:

1. good news: i was recently hired to be a figure drawing instructor for BYU's animation department! i am thrilled. class started yesterday and it's a good group of people. i'm stoked to start figure drawing again as well because i used to all the time!

2. food and art: my art show at the slc library - sprague branch is up! the opening reception is THIS COMING TUESDAY from 6:30-8pm and you can check out the event here.

help the starving artists!

i am pleased to announce that four of my artist friends and i are putting together an art open house this month! 

it's gonna be a laid-back cozy gathering at an actual house. we will sell art (both originals and prints) and there will be food, live music and some cool announcements on that friday night. 

more details will be added to the facebook event so make sure to RSVP!

in the meanwhile, do you have any requests for art from me?? any specific styles of mine or themes or ideas? i'm literally back to the drawing board and want to create things for your walls! leave you answer in the comments.

website!

just wanted to stop by and announce my new little website! 

www.kristingulledge.com

whatcha think? i just wanted something to keep everything together so that people can find what they're looking for. i whipped it up with basic html and css and then my good friend and amazing programmer trevor reed helped make it mobile-friendly and worked out the glitches. 

also, make sure to check out the design section because it's completely new, and i also have a new photo set up. 

some day i'll get around to designing better portfolio sites, but freelance is keeping me busy so that day is not today. : )

also, as this is an art blog so i feel like you should be rewarded for coming here with a bit of art. i know some of you have already seen it on facebook. thanks so much for your support!
