Messy Art room, New screen print shirts and holiday creations

So that three day weekend was greatly appreciated. I didn't do much other then watch movies, munch out on home made cookies, Cheddar biscuits and samosas but i did manage to start a new painting! <a href="http://www.flickr.com/photos/lucidrose/5296013016/" title="Messy art room by lucidRose, on Flickr"><img alt="Messy art room" height="415" src="http://farm6.static.flickr.com/5247/5296013016_c41c24de79.jpg" width="500" /></a> ...you can see the very beginnings of my new acrylic piece in this photo. Its going to have lots of purples and blues, it would seem. You might also notice what a mess my painting corner is. The entire art room needs a good cleaning and re organizing. Hopefully i can get to that soon. i feel like i can create much more smoothly with a nice fresh, organized area. The clutter gets a lil too chaotic after awhile. In other news, we have produced some new silkscreen print shirts which have now been released for sale in our etsy shop: <a href="http://www.flickr.com/photos/lucidopticlab/5283064133/" title="om by Lucid Optic Lab, on Flickr"><img alt="om" height="500" src="http://farm6.static.flickr.com/5207/5283064133_e35cdc9a49.jpg" width="364" /></a> Radiant Om hand made/hand printed by Lucid Optic Lab silkscreen print on 100% cotton T-Shirt Available in size Large(44" bust) and Medium(40" bust) Please specify size upon purchase. available for $20. see the sale listing <a href="http://www.etsy.com/listing/64682452/radiant-om-silkscreen-print-shirt">here</a>. <a href="http://www.flickr.com/photos/lucidopticlab/5283064221/" title="justice! by Lucid Optic Lab, on Flickr"><img alt="justice!" height="500" src="http://farm6.static.flickr.com/5048/5283064221_2e3318e0e4.jpg" width="334" /></a> Justice Together Hand made/hand printed by Lucid Optic Lab available for $20 see the sale listing <a href="http://www.etsy.com/listing/64682721/justice-together-silkscreen-print-shirt">here</a> <a href="http://www.flickr.com/photos/lucidrose/5296012904/" title="Buddha silkscreen print shirt by lucidRose, on Flickr"><img alt="Buddha silkscreen print shirt" height="500" src="http://farm6.static.flickr.com/5082/5296012904_79a91674bf.jpg" width="377" /></a> Blue Buddha silkscreen print shirt hand made/hand printed by Lucid Optic Lab silkscreen print on 100% cotton T-Shirt Available in size Large(44" bust) and Medium(40" bust) Please specify size upon purchase. available for $20 see the sale listing <a href="http://www.etsy.com/listing/64717781/blue-buddha-silkscreen-print-shirt">here</a> <img src="http://ny-image2.etsy.com/il_570xN.203465702.jpg" /> Perception Mandala hand made/hand printed by Lucid Optic Lab silkscreen print on 100% cotton T-Shirt Available in size Large(44" bust) and Medium(40" bust) Please specify size upon purchase. available for $20 see the sale listing <a href="http://www.etsy.com/listing/64717375/perception-mandala-silkscreen-print">here</a> ...so yes! Lots of new hand made/hand printed silkscreen shirts up for grabs. We have been super busy between the Goddess in All of Us art opening, printing new shirts and creating for the Holidays. I tried my hand at silk painting for the first time: <a href="http://www.flickr.com/photos/lucidrose/5296012846/" title="My silk painting experiment by lucidRose, on Flickr"><img alt="My silk painting experiment" height="500" src="http://farm6.static.flickr.com/5169/5296012846_4ebf1161e1.jpg" width="335" /></a> It was really fun. I painted 10 of these scarves. I enjoyed the way the silk paint seemed to spread like watercolor. I used an oil gutta resist to create the line work. I did dislike how fumey and toxic the gutta was so i think i will try the water based resist next time. All in all...it was a fun project! So i guess thats all the updates i have for now. How was your solstice? Your holiday weekend? Much love, -Chelsea Rose

Danny's Pop Up Gallery showing

I had a wonderful time last night at <a href="http://www.flickr.com/lucidopticlab">Danny's</a> Pop Up Gallery showing! Here is a photo recap: <a href="http://www.flickr.com/photos/lucidrose/5189349512/" title="Danny's Pop Up Gallery show by lucidRose, on Flickr"><img alt="Danny's Pop Up Gallery show" height="235" src="http://farm2.static.flickr.com/1033/5189349512_ff1cc032a2.jpg" width="400" /></a> Snapped this shot of Danny and his art just a few mins before the doors opened for his one night showing. <a href="http://www.flickr.com/photos/lucidopticlab/5188722857/" title="Untitled by Lucid Optic Lab, on Flickr"><img alt="" height="335" src="http://farm5.static.flickr.com/4112/5188722857_22fed2a131.jpg" width="500" /></a> It was an amazing evening! His handmade ebru (paper marbling) monoprint & screen print works were displayed along with his hand drawn ink mandalas and splatter art. It was a one night event in conjunction with NW 23rd third Thursday artwalk. He shared the gallery with two other artists one who did drawings another who did sculpture and there was Industrial Dub music, jewelry, faerie tutu’s, and wine to be enjoyed from 6pm to 9pm in a "pop up" gallery that was once a cheese shop on NW Thurman and NW 23rd. <a href="http://www.flickr.com/photos/lucidopticlab/5189323974/" title="Untitled by Lucid Optic Lab, on Flickr"><img alt="" height="328" src="http://farm5.static.flickr.com/4128/5189323974_8691f234ef.jpg" width="500" /></a> <a href="http://www.flickr.com/photos/lucidopticlab/5188652239/" title="Untitled by Lucid Optic Lab, on Flickr"><img alt="" height="335" src="http://farm2.static.flickr.com/1265/5188652239_5e6e2b647a.jpg" width="500" /></a> <a href="http://www.flickr.com/photos/lucidopticlab/5188722785/" title="Untitled by Lucid Optic Lab, on Flickr"><img alt="" height="124" src="http://farm2.static.flickr.com/1267/5188722785_f35b84fd66.jpg" width="500" /></a> He had a very large wall dedicated to his art. It was actually really stunning to see all of his recent work up all at once...it had a truly amazing presence! We were both surprised at how much he had. I guess its easy to misjudge how much work you really have when you have a lot of it stashed away in a cluttered art room in a small apartment :) I was tottally blown away! <a href="http://www.flickr.com/photos/lucidopticlab/5189325538/" title="Untitled by Lucid Optic Lab, on Flickr"><img alt="" height="500" src="http://farm5.static.flickr.com/4090/5189325538_830d698a93.jpg" width="347" /></a> I snapped this photo of Danny with his Ebru master <a href="http://data.fineartstudioonline.com/dataviewer.asp?keyvalue=6613">Reza Antoszewska</a> She seemed very excited/impressed with his work....which is made quite evident from the big grin. They are looking at and discussing Reza's favoerite piece of Danny's in the show. <a href="http://www.flickr.com/photos/lucidrose/5189349558/" title="Danny's Pop Up Gallery show by lucidRose, on Flickr"><img alt="Danny's Pop Up Gallery show" height="500" src="http://farm5.static.flickr.com/4103/5189349558_7b2459e7d0.jpg" width="361" /></a> Reza was kind enough to snap a photo of Danny and I together infront of his art :) So yes, the night was a treat and success...we hung out with friends, met some new ones and danny sold a few pieces of art!
