i'm so excited - this is my first piece to be shown in asia, and in Hong Kong, no less!!
HK being one of my old home towns and one of my favorite places in the world.
and i'm also really glad to see Arrested Motion grow and grow into one of the best art
blogs out there. thanks again, Tanley & Hung-hei!

please please go check it out this friday if you're in Hong Kong!
i wish i could be there just to see Akino Kondoh's work in person.
(and if you're not in HK, please stop by my web shop for the small originals sale!)

Studio Sale & Holiday Special!

studio sale!

i don't know where the time has gone but the holiday season is upon us already.
with that in mind, i will be having a Studio Originals Sale again of some small originals that
have been left around the studio throughout this year.

like last year, it will be on "Black Friday", and for sale will be about 10-12 of small original
drawings, studies, and paintings that have been left over from the year 2011.

although, this time, instead of etsy, it will be in my new shop site.

2pm eastern US time, Friday, November 25th, 2011
shop.stellaimhultberg.com

please look under the "SMALL ORIGINALS" section that will be on the right
menu on my shop page by friday.

feel free to let me know of any questions!



..............................................................................................

some shop notes :

ALSO, for both prints and originals, please make sure to place your order by

Silly Oldies





while looking through some old shop files to reference for my new shop,
i found some diary doodles from 2004-05, which is around when i first
started drawing for fun aside from working as a freelance toy designer,
& also when i launched my first site, momomoogie.com.





these were short-lived, maybe only 4-5 months, and the diaries soon turned into
a daily food blog, which i later moved to my current food blog.

most of the diary drawings were small emoticon-like characters like above,
or about food like below :









and some about machinery mishaps with computer, printer,
and sewing machine... :





so weird & kind of fun to see old diaries.

i remember i had some weird character comics (momo, the peach girl &
moogie, her smartass kitty) and pdf print-outs you could color or make into
paper dolls. i guess i really was a toy designer back then!

Juxtapoz'd

{ Scan of the page courtesy of Audrey }

Our opening night of In the Wake of Dreams at Thinkspaces Gallery in October
(with Amy, Mari, Audrey and me) was featured in the POP LIFE section in the
December issue of Juxtapoz!

I love the photo of the cute lady covering up her face, mimicking my painting.
Thankfully my mug is only visible in one group shot.

Also, I forgot to post that I did a short interview called Back Talk on their online
site last month as well :
