My friend Shiori Matsumoto has some fantastic new paintings on her website. I like these two young girls peering out from circular golden frames. Dressed in beautiful costumes, they look ready to perform on stage.

Internet Weekly just blogged a very interesting painter named Rin Nadeshico. I especially like these two images of school girls and nature called "Spring" and "Summer". She has a pretty website and a blog .

Here are two choice images from the fabulous flickr set called

OPIUM MUSEUM.

One is a sketch from a French book on French Indochina (1920) and one is a vintage french nude postcard.

My friends over at Femme Femme Femme just posted my new paintings, so I guess I might as well post them on my blog, too. I also just noticed that Ad Hoc Art gallery has the "5 Identities, 5 Destinations" show up on their website now, so if you want to see a preview of the seven paintings that I will be exhibiting in NYC (along with the work of 4 other fantastic women artists) go to Ad Hoc Art. These 3 paintings are part of that show - which opens Friday, July 25th (7-10pm) and continues through August 24th, 2008 (49 Bogart St, Brooklyn, NY). Contact the gallery if interested. Hope to see you at the opening!

And this is very cool: Ad Hoc Art had a show called "Poets of the Paste" that just closed. You can view that show on the Village Voice website.

New Paintings by Amy Crehore
I've been busy shipping boxes and crates to NYC for the past couple of days.

Also... I want to thank everyone who bought my recent print, "The Creature". It sold out overnight. Lucky numbers 11 and 44 received small drawings from me. "The numerical phrase 4-11-44 has appeared repeatedly in popular music for over a century." P.S. Stay tuned for Tickler Uke #2! I know it's been a long time coming... but it's definitely coming! I also have some great ukulele t-shirts on my website for sale.

Vintage Dummy Fun

This is just about the coolest flickr set I've seen - a wonderful collection of vintage photos and graphic art depicting ventriloquists and their dummies. There are 4 pages of thumbnails.

Dummies on the beach, dummies smoking, whole families of dummies! Simply fascinating stuff. Thanks, Undream!
