The magnificent, Jon Hall, took some pics of the show this last weekend. Check 'em out. Brooke takes what remains to Alta tomorrow. Go visit our friends Krista and Tina at Alta, buy a cup o' joe, check out our stuff and let us know what you think!
Brooke and I stayed up way too late last night finishing 14 new pieces that will be on display today at the trunk show she is part of. What doesn't sell today will be put on display at Alta Coffee in Newport Beach (20 pieces are already on display there). These have been fun pieces to work on. We incorporated elements we haven't used in our collaborative pieces in the past–such as sewing, water colors, hand drawings, hand-drawn lettering, and of course, recycled materials (mostly pages from old discarded books we've found) along with the other techniques we commonly use. Go to the show today and join us up at Alta's soon. Watch fireandflowers.com for more news on this front.

I don't know who this is, but there is a great street artist in South Park doing mostly wire art. I've documented some of their stuff in the past here, here, here and Jon Hall has some here as well. I had some photos of paint/ink wall pieces but have lost them somehow. Brooke took these photos earlier today while we went on a family walk.
UPDATE: The artist is Spenser Little and more of his work can be found at DirtyClean.net. Now, I'm not sure the ink pieces are his but they certainly look like his style and I found them close to the wire pieces.

On top of developing a human being inside her belly, Brooke has been hard at work putting together this fundraiser for our neighborhood public school. Come support our school!
