http://youfail.com/blog kiersten's killing field Fri, 27 Aug 2010 16:11:56 +0000 http://backend.userland.com/rss092 en Well, it's official..  I'm finally hitched!  After a wonderful couple of weeks down on St. Simons Island, GA, our small, sweet, and very DIY southern wedding was a complete success.  I'm planning a post with some of the details in the near future, but have quite a few (well, more ... http://youfail.com/blog/?p=2366 I just added a few new prints to the sale I'm having on my Etsy site! http://youfail.com/blog/?p=2354 With the printing all complete, it was time to move on to the cutting, folding packing and sending.. After each piece was completed, Wes started to cut the spotted bands (it wrapped around the cards to hold them in place), while I started to measure ... http://youfail.com/blog/?p=2351 The tears being tears of joy that we actually finished these babies!  We’ve received a few emails from friends & family asking us how we created our wedding invites, so we decided to do a little (and by little, I mean long) post on it.  Read ... http://youfail.com/blog/?p=2349 Hear Ye, Hear Ye!  It's summer SALE time! In an effort to clean out my Etsy shop by the end of summer (need to make room for new Fall and Holiday items!), I'm having a summer sale on all drawings and paintings.  Since I'm getting married mid-August, I'd like to try ... http://youfail.com/blog/?p=2326 I just finished up my Crazy 4 Cult 4 piece(s) for the show over at Gallery 1988!  This year I decided to do a bunch of miniature paintings (each panel is 4in x 4in), depicting some of my favorite props, side characters, and other various semi-important elements from The Goonies. ... http://youfail.com/blog/?p=2299 My brother and future sis-in-law are getting married this year on Halloween and are celebrating by having a costume party reception.  I can't wait!  I'm doing a few drawings for their invites, which I won't put up on here until they're all sent out (don't want to ruin the surprise!), ... http://youfail.com/blog/?p=2284 I just recently added a few new drawings to my Etsy shop, with hopefully more on the way next week. Also, for a limited time (& as a way of supporting my shop), I am listing some paintings from my sale site on Etsy.. all at least $100 off their current ... http://youfail.com/blog/?p=2270 My tribute to RJD, via Twaggies.  Click to view larger. http://youfail.com/blog/?p=2255 Since Wes and I aren't exactly web pros, we needed to keep our wedding site pretty basic (which is fine since all it needs to do is provide info).  We also tried to make it easy to navigate, with simple categories that were pretty self-explanatory. After coming up with the animation, ... http://youfail.com/blog/?p=2207 So excited to finally have her up and running!  We did a little test run a few nights ago, and it works perfectly (although we're still learning all the proper settings).  Can't wait to really get things going..  to be continued. Lady Letterpress converted my sticker logo (used for shipments) into this: our ... http://youfail.com/blog/?p=2196 Here is my 2nd piece for the Twilight Zone show at Gallery 1988 (1st one here)..  which we just got word is entitled Another Dimension and will now be opening on May 20th.  This piece is based on one of my other favorite episodes, The Masks. A wealthy old man is ... http://youfail.com/blog/?p=2162 So I've received quite a few emails asking me about the site that Wes and I created for our wedding (thank-you btw, they've all been really sweet!).  We're still updating it as we go along, and I don't want to bore you with all of the details, so I'll just ... http://youfail.com/blog/?p=2060 A few new gals up over at Twaggies.   To get twagged by me, follow them on Twitter HERE and say silly things. http://youfail.com/blog/?p=2053 I was thrilled to be invited to participate in the Twilight Zone Tribute Show that Gallery 1988 LA will be hosting May 18th.  I can't begin to tell you how fun re-watching these shows for "research" was.  Seriously, best job in the world. My first piece is based on the well-known ... http://youfail.com/blog/?p=2028 August seems to be quickly approaching, which is kind of a good thing b/c planning a small out-of-state shindig has proved harder than we originally thought it would be.  Wes & I decided on sending out simple 6in x 6in postcards that had a bit of folk art feel to ... http://youfail.com/blog/?p=2011 New guy up at Twaggies, ladies & gents.  I'm going to be doodling for them 3-5 times a week, so check back often!  Or you can follow them on Twitter HERE. http://youfail.com/blog/?p=2005
