my love for you.

E is for Everyone: Celebrating Sister Corita.

I managed to make it to the Museum of Craft and Folk Art before E is for Everyone: Celebrating Sister Corita closed. I am so glad I made a point to get there before it finished. The exhibit was so inspiring and moving.

If you aren't familiar with Sister Corita I would highly recommend you reading up on her. An activist and sister of the Immaculate Heart of Mary, she used her silkscreen work to voice her opinion on peace, war, injustice and above all hope -- she's about as bad ass as a nun can be.

Enjoy the pics of the exhibit. You can see more images on the blog's flickr.

"...in such times clowns become witnesses" So many amazing and powerful quotes in this exhibit.

I loved each piece, but this one was my favorite if only because it reminded me of being a kid. I remember seeing this design on tea towels and prints when I was a child.

Out & About: Ferris Plock & Jen D'Angelo of Nooworks.

I stopped by Jen D'Angelo's home last night as she and Ferris Plock finished up pulling prints for his show, Fare Thee Well with Deth P. Sun at Giant Robot opening this Saturday in LA. Jen owns Nooworks, one of the cutest boutiques here in SF (I bought this dress from her which I adore.) and it's well known for it's silk-screened goods.

When I got to Jen's place, both Ferris and Jen were working like a well oiled machine. Jen was pulling and Ferris was drying and hanging the pieces. I can't wait to see what Ferris does with the final pieces. Printing was done on paper and wood, Ferris says he'll be adding gold leaf, distressing and color to them. It was great to hang out, laugh and watch the prints form from a glob of paint to one of Ferris' rad little dudes.

Fare Thee Well opens October 2nd and runs through November 3rd, 2010 at Giant Robot in LA.

Ferris took a break for lovely orange beverage.

Irana Douer Tote Bags.

I am a sucker for a tote bag. They multiply in my closet, I swear to god. Irana Douer just released three new, cute as a button little totes with KOM. These little guys are hand printed and eco-friendly (no bleach or toxins used) on 100% cotton. You can find them in Irana's etsy shop. They'll move quick I bet.
