sold it all!

The DCAC Wall Mountables show is over and I just found out that I don't have to go and pick up my art because it all sold! All 5 pieces. This is awesome, but also I am sad to see it go. Here is a picture of the show.

In this photo of the show, the arrows are pointing to two of my pieces. And it looks like one person is either laughing at my vampire piece or maybe just sneezing. I am hoping laughing at it. :) I got two good reviews of my stuff at this show and it was awesome to be picked out of over 100 artists.

One review here.

Tina Seamonster needs some sort of award for best nom de plume (we assume). Seamonster's sliced and varnished log sections resemble some sort of bad kitsch souvenir from the 50s that would read "Home is where you hang your hat." Only these cutting pieces have weird observations and sayings on them, such as, "Being a vampire must be such a drag, it just goes on and on and on ..." or "Sometimes I hate that time is linear. I want it to be a swirly wobble..." It's hard not to love stuff like this.

And this one from the Washington Post.


I was totally entertained by Tina Seamonster's works, which looked like discs sliced from a tree trunk that revealed strangely hilarious messages. One ruminated on the result of a box office battle between John Cusack today and the John Cusack of the '80s.

This has totally encouraged me to make more stuff, but first I have to sell half a tree's worth of pieces that are in my room. I will have them all at Crafty Bastards on September 28th. There are a few still in my Etsy shop, though.
