Art and Life: The Story of Jim Phillips movie I was honored to introduce

Had a really fun night Thursday at the Santa Cruz Film Festival introducing the Art and Life: The Story of Jim Phillips Documentary. I was nervous and uncomfortable doing it but you don't say no to an opportunity to share iconic artist and friends movie.
Thank you John Makens and Jim Phillips for having me share your amazing film. I went to the priemere at the Rio when it was released and it brought tears to my eyes all the back stories.
I had been around for many of the early years and it brought back memories from working at NHS and seeing Jay and Rich look at sketches to pen and ink and mechanicals then to see the final products. If you are a artist in the early years of mechanical production before computers you would really enjoy seeing the steps and if you are a computer designer you will get a little history lesson.
The Art and Life: The Story of Jim Phillips movie is now avaible on digital on many of the usual platforms and they have DVD, Blueray and posters on this website.

Friday I was doing my usual Instagram check and setting up a post for Lenz Arts where I am marketing director. They are super supportive of my 15 minutes of fame runnning on two years now. I left early Thursday to go to the movie and was leaving early Friday to drive up to Sacramento to the N-men Gold Rush Giant Slalom race.

Screaming Hand 30th Anniversary Art Show piece

This is my piece of art for the 30th Anniversary for the Screaming Hand art show coming 2015. Rumor has it that the kick-off party/artshow will be held at The Berrics in LA sometime in June. Here is the official list Cab posted on his Facebook page. I posted my art because I have seen others post theirs. Jimbo Phillips, Colby Phillips and Cab to list a few. And not to bag on anyone but no women are listed. An amazing list of artists for sure. I have to mention it because women hit walls all of the time and it is not subtle in anyway. I wasn't surprised to open up the Skateboard Mag at the Santa Cruz Bookshop last week and see not a one skateboarding woman in the issue. My husband says I should make a women's skateboard magazine. Well Cindy Whitehead and I have a little plan. More details soon.

Here is an amazing female artist Tara McPherson
