I haven’t done any new art this month. Aside from moving, I have also been prepping art to ship to three different shows: CONvergence, San Diego Comic Con, and WorldCon. All three need to be shipped either before my moving date or so soon after that I cannot count on having any time to unpack my equipment.
This is what three shows’ worth of art looks like.
Pictured here are:
3 framed originals
4 laminated prints
40 bagged stickers
69 matted prints
Not pictured here:
Signage for 5 displays (two of the shows have separate galleries and print shops)
Labels for all the art
Paperwork
When we originally planned this month, we didn’t know when WorldCon’s consolidated shipping deadline would be, so we thought we were looking at just two shows. When we got the notice that the deadline for getting things in the consolidated shipment from the US to Dublin was June 30 reception, that suddenly added 3 framed originals and 40 prints to our to-do list. Had we known that earlier, we would have started prepping loooooong ago and Terri would likely have come to visit and help. As it is, I am far too tired to be working on art. On the plus side, I have a lot less matboard to move with me!
This lot goes to the post office this afternoon and I move a week from today. Wish me luck!
