I had the most amazing trip to San Francisco. Not only did I get to take part in curating a super fun show, I got to see so many people and finally meet so many people I've corresponded with through the blog. One of those ladies is Lisa Congdon. I have long admired Lisa for her amazing and inspirational story and talent. So I was really stoked to get to have breakfast with her and then head over to her studio. There was some serious eye candy all over the place! From books (Barry McGee, Thomas Cambell, vintage books...) to lots of doo-dads (wee little mushrooms, clips, flourescent stuff!) and all her paintings and drawings...check em out:
