Elena Stonaker

Elena Stonaker is my twinster sweetster who I am so jeal of. 

I wouldn't doubt if Elena would save the world via feathers and sequins one day. 

She'll be in Brooklyn this next week for the 11th annual Renegade Craft Fair. If you're in the area you should really check out all the octopus, turtle, and swirly women she has for sale.

Grant Souders

Can I be so jeal of my best friend? Grant Souders is probably the easiest to be so jeal of. 

Not only is Grant great at collaging and drawing he also is an incredible poet. 

He recently had a poem published in Phoebe Journal, Early in the Field, and is currently about to make his way to the Writer's Workshop at The University of Iowa.

I'm gonna miss that man.

Amy Reckley

So jeal of Amy Reckley.

Amy was a grad student while I was working on my BFA and I can't think of a better person to be jeal of. She can build instillations out of zip ties and make wedges out of cardboard like nothing I've ever seen. Plus she's really likes The Silver Jews. Aw, yeah.


Amy is now helping run Art342 a nonprofit art residency program outside Fort Collins, CO.

Renilde Depeuter

 So jeal of Renilde Depeuter.

I've been following Renilde's blog At Swim-Two-Birds for a couple months now and her work is absolutely beautiful.  She's one of those few blogs that I am excited about when she posts new things. Not saying other blogs suck, it's just that she's real real good.

Your Rainbow Panorama is opening this Thursday in Denmark. Please someone buy me a plane ticket 'cause this man is my hero. 

"It is a vehicle for looking anew, which frames views and frames you as you

proceed through the seamless walkway of subtly transforming colour atmospheres. What you

experience may be of both panoramic scope and introspective quality – you may see yourself seeing.

I see Your rainbow panorama as an orientation tool. Dividing Aarhus into colour zones, it has the

qualities of a lighthouse: it draws attention not only to itself, but also to your physical location in

Aarhus. For people living in the city and moving through the different times of day, the work becomes

a compass in time and space."

-Olafur Eliasson

Sally Smart

So jeal of Sally Smart.

I feel like in all my years of 'looking at the internet' I would have run across Sally Smart sooner, but last night was the first. Needless to say she got my heart a beatin'. 

Check out her website, seriously.

Jose, you're in like every gallery I've ever heard of. And.... you use felt. Double jeal.
