2010-10-23T11:41:00.000-07:00

Here is my piece for the Autumn Society & Ground Kontrol’s 8-bit Calavera show. 40 Autumn Society artists are painting/decorating Nintendo cartridges in a Dia De Los Muertos theme. Mine is done using a Van Dyke Brown print that is hand tinted and drawn on. Then I used acrylic paint to decorate the cartridge & attached the print with PVA. The show will be featured in Portland, OR at Ground Kontrol so be sure to check out the other artists cartridges on the Autumn Society’s website.

SHAD FEST!

2010-04-26T08:57:00.000-07:00

Thanks everyone who made it out to Shad fest this past Saturday! The day went great, and I couldn't have asked for better weather. I got a very special surprise when Adam (who had been stuck in the Netherlands due to the volcano) got back a day early and showed up to Shad fest! I couldn't have been happier. It didn't hurt that I sold some stuff too!

A very very very special thanks to Claire (my adorable little sister picture below), Chris, Liz, and Thom for all the help with the booth! Craft fairs are no fun unless you can have that key person to help out and watch out for you. You guys are the best! So I'll leave you with some not so great iphone photos from the day. I swear one of these days I'm going to get a nice camera. Thanks again everyone!!!!

Julianna!

Bangs Are Back!

2009-12-26T10:21:00.001-08:00

I just found this! So great, and funny!

My bangs are now famous on Elizabeth Wellington's blog Mirror Image. Elizabeth writes for the Philly Inquirer and did a great piece on Pop-Up Art shops in which she also interviewed Abby and I about All By Hand! During the interview she kept commenting on how much she liked my bangs. My great friend Jenni at Plume cuts my hair and always does such a great job! Elizabeth like my bangs so much she wrote a really fun piece on her blog about how bangs are back! Read the blog article here, and read the full Inquirer article here!

Thanks so much Elizabeth! Such a funny shout out, and I'm totally loving it!!!

Me and my newly famous bangs. (Well sort of famous, but I'm totally going to live it up)

XOXO,

Julianna

Hey Everybody! So quickly coming up is the Fishtown Shad Fest. It's an arts fair and 5k run to celebrate the the ever exciting fish, the Shad. That's right, now what is a shad you might ask? Good question. (I had to look it up too.) It's a fresh water fish that's related to the herring. So now what does that have to do with Fishtown? Alot! Early colonists relied on this fish as a source of income and food. Well anyway the good people at the Fishtown Area Business Association decided it was time to celebrate this fish, and you know what why not!

All that being said.... LEAH AND I WILL BE WORKING IT. phew. Maybe we should make some Shad shirts to accompany or Scrapple wares? That's right Scrapple wares will be back in the full effect for Shad fest. So if you're interested in pre-ordering a shirt feel free to email me (juliannalose@gmail.com). We will now have shirts from sizes XS to XXL.

Leah Mackin will of course be selling her great book spine bracelets, vintage cover book journals, pressed plastic bag journals, and other great hand bound books. Check out her stuff here!

You can also get your hot off the presses baby clothes from Bon Bon Baby! (that's me. haha) I finally came up with a name! With designs like Sweet Pea, Cutie Pie, and My lil' Cupcake! All come in sizes from 3-6 months to 12-18 months. Get a preview!

Okay so here's hoping to see you there! Oh wait, here's all the important info:

2009-03-27T07:47:00.000-07:00

Just a quick little quip about my good buddy Joe Stakun...

Through the entirety of my friendship with this guy he's done nothing but work and work and work and work on a plethora of projects. From his movie about FBM bikes to countless music videos to funny shorts he made with buddies, I really had yet to see one of his projects come to fruition. Well the day has finally come! I just checked out his music video for the Future Islands, which he directed and animated, and it's awesome! Here don't believe me... check it out!

Future Islands- Beach Foam from joe stakun on Vimeo.

So Joe Stak I can't wait to see your movie and everything else you continue to work on in the future.

Paper Jam!

2008-09-13T09:18:00.000-07:00

Hey all! Come out this Friday, Sept. 19th, for Paper Jam at My House Gallery.

Here's the blurb Alex wrote about the show:
MY HOUSE GALLERY PRESENTS PAPER JAM

The 8 1/2 by 11 inch piece of paper has become a fixture in our contemporary culture. This standard image confronts us every day. Containing advertisement, files, faxes, business contracts, photo copies, and a myriad of information, we take in the information, often over looking the spatial context within which it is contained. What if our standard paper size was drastically different? What if it was half of or doubled in size? How would this change our perception and understanding of information? Paper Jam puts the 8 1/2 by 11 piece of paper under the hand of the artist to allow them to expand or contract their artistic understanding of the parameters of space presented.

OPENING FRIDAY SEPTEMBER 19TH 5:30 PM - 8:30 PM

Fun will be had by all! There's over 50 artist from around the states involved, including me! So come show some love. I'll look for you there.

AND THEN! Remember this Saturday at Clark Park! Leah and I kick off the tour by starting our first of many craft fairs this holiday season! It's a blockbuster weekend! See you soon.

Long time no blog.

2008-06-12T09:19:00.000-07:00

Sorry for the major delay here guys on my part in the blogging world, but I'm coming back full force here with some recent images of books I've repaired at the HSP! Wooo!@!@!! Okay so now a quick lesson in repairing a book. This is how the books came to me.....

Sad I know, but not to fear! We can put it back together!! Yay. So first step, do any paper mending and dry cleaning to the pages. This means cleaning dirt off the paper and mending any tears in the pages themselves. Second step! Hindge and Guard all the signatures! This is putting the individual folios (folded pages) back together and attaching any loose pages so we can sew it.... which is step 3! Sew the book back together, in this case using the herringbone stitch. Woo! Okay now step 4, attach the spine and covers, and voila! You have a book again! Now just take into account this took me about 3 months work. Ha. Okay well here's the finished product!

Fun right! Okay kids until next time... which I promise will be sooner than later.

Julianna.

p.s. I forgot to mention these books belonged to the Chew Family (check the HSP blog!) and were a cricket journal, and college notebook!

Bloggin' Time

2008-05-18T09:17:00.000-07:00

Hey All! Check out some great photos from the Kensington Kinetic Sculpture Derby, which took place Saturday May 17. This is the second annual derby and we couldn't have had more fun! Our team was Team SHARK ATTACK!!!!! The drivers were Brian Westenhiser and Jen Gin. Our shark attack victims were Chris Beegle, Leah Mackin, and yours truly Julianna Lose. Not picture but sorely missed were our other team members Mike Ryan, and bike fixer extraordinaire Adam Jordan. To learn more about the Derby click here!!!

Now for the photos....

Nerdy post part II.

2008-05-07T08:27:00.000-07:00

Here's just a little quip on everyone's favorite compare and contrast tool, the Venn Diagram. I'm not exactly sure why, but I felt compelled to research this great tool. Actually it's probably the best invention ever and opens the gates to the most hilarious of comparison's. It was invented by John Venn in 1881 to show all possible relations between mathematical and logical sets, duh. There's even a stained glass window dedicated to Mr. Venn at his alma mater, Caius College in Cambridge. Pretty cool huh? If I knew how to work in stain glass I'd probably only make venn diagrams. Oh well enough talk and check out some images, I mean really what would a good post be without awesome venn diagrams.

by natalie dee!
and lastly...

okay. hope these diagrams made your day!!!
byezz.
Julianna.

Moleskin art.

2008-03-28T07:33:00.000-07:00

I'm sure many of you know of the famed Moleskin journals, you may even own one (i do, love it), however have you heard of Detour? Detour (the moleskin city notebook experience) is a Moleskin project that is non profit supporting the Lettera27 group. Lettera27 is a non profit organization promoting literacy and the right to read, bring education to places it's needed. (pretty cool...) Anyway, Detour shows in different cities around the world showcasing artist's works in Moleskin sketch books. These artist come up with some awesome things. Here have a look!

more chew family stuff

2008-03-25T07:33:00.000-07:00

Yesterday at the HSP, we stumbled across this great drawing book from the later 1800's. It was chock full of great little illustrations of Samuel Chew's family and friends. Needless to say I got pretty excited about it. So much that I blogged about it on the Chew Family Papers blog. click here to see and read more about it!

Anyway, here's my favorite image. Totally reminded me that I need to start working with my cameos again! Here's hoping Samuel's work spurs me on to do some more!

My take on the cameo...

moral support for the baby sis.

2008-03-21T08:15:00.000-07:00

this is my little sister and her friends.
check this out!

they have planned an all out "Zelda Massacre" (her words not mine) attempting to beat in 3 days these Zelda games: Ocarina of Time, Majora's Mask, Wind Waker and Twilight Princess. while completing these games they will be playing hand held Zelda games. yes they might be crazy.

they've set up a live feed so you can watch all the exciting hours of their defeat.
live feed

so just to give her a little moral boost, since it looks like she's playing most of the time. check it out and send her some love. she's really excited about it.

good luck claire, and pals. here's hoping you don't pass out mid boss level.

Inset Box@!!!!@!@!

2008-03-13T08:31:00.000-07:00

So here's the image I promised! These are images of an inset box I was working on for The Chew Family papers. The books in the box belonged to Elizabeth Chew, and they were her diaries. It was really amazing to look up the date in 1800's. Well enjoy the images! Until next time, xoxo!

Closed.

Open with books.

Open without books.

Full box.

p.s. sorry the images are so big. just click on them they'll link you too the full image. i got to work on my internet skillz.

Chew Family Papers!

2008-03-11T12:38:00.000-07:00

So as many of you know I've been working at the Historical Society of Pennsylvania. What you might not know is that I've been working primarily with the Chew Family papers. Now you might ask yourself, "What in the world are the Chew Family papers?" and I would respond! check this link!!! I am very proud to say that the HSP (primarily Tara O'Brien, Cathleen Miller, and Natalie Whitted) have made a blog spot dedicated to the ongoing and repairs of the Chew Family papers. Complete with exciting Chew stories, history, and images of the great stuff they saved. Hopefully by tonight I'll post some images of some of the stuff I've been working on! Keep tuned kids!

love always,
Julianna xoxo

Hey All,

Like I mentioned before Rue Couture (the place in Collingswood, NJ that I've been doing work for) is trying to get artists to come hang work for their shop! Vince and Sandy are a great couple who are really into promoting the arts. In Collingswood they have a "Second Saturday" it's pretty much the same thing as Philly's "First Friday" just obviously on a different appointed day. That being said Rue Couture is planning on having events at the shop to promote they're goods and local artists! If you're interested in showing some work e-mail me! I told them I'd help them find some great stuff. They are looking for wall work, whether it be prints, photographs, graphic design, paintings, or hanging sculptures. Sorry guys no free standing pieces, it is a boutique after all. Looking forward to hearing from you! Thanks again.

Julianna. xoxo

Excitingly, I have started an internship with The HSP*, particularly with Tara O'Brien* in the conservation lab. This means I get to look at cool old books while making boxes to house them along with a many other exciting things. So far so good, and really looking forward to learning more! Hopefully, if I remember to actually keep up on this thing I will "blog" or write more soon about all the interesting old stuff I'm going to get to encounter.

On another note, I'm taking part in a show on February 15th! Well, that's the opening actually; which if your interested is from 5:30-8:30. It is with Art Glut gallery at 8th and Porter.

First Post!

2007-11-26T19:46:00.000-08:00

Of many that's to be sure. But here goes nothing....
Hi friends,
So there's so many things going on right now!
Pretty exciting considering my life is usually boring.
So where to start...
Okay, first things first, I will be working the Punk Rock Flea Market, holiday edition.

I know the graphics a little nauseating, but come support me and some other awesome artists.
Such as: Leigh Maida, Leah Mackin, Mike Ryan, Phuong Pham, and Nicole Eiland! (among others)
Get all your exciting flea market and Christmas gift needs all under one roof!!!!

Now that that's out of the way, (you know promotional plugs have to come first)
I'm totally into this artist right now.

His name is Ron Mueck and definitely recommend looking him up.
He creates hyper realistic human sculptures at varying scales.
Anyway have fun researching , and while you're at it check out Stephen Shanabrook.
http://www.stephenshanabrook.com/
Another really interesting artist, lets just say chocolates made from morgue body casting?
Well until next time!
Your pal,
Julianna. xoxo
