Come see us at the Kent Winter Craft Bazaar December 2nd & 3rd!

We are very excited to be part of the 2011 Kent Winter Craft Bazaar, now celebrating its 28th year!  Mark your calendars for this Friday and Saturday, December 2nd and 3rd, and come on down and see us at Kent Commons - right across the street from Kent Station!  The address is 525 4th Avenue N. in Kent.  Times are 10:00 am - 6:00 pm Friday, and 9:00 am - 5:00 pm on Saturday.  We will be at Booth #6.  Admission is $1.00.  Map available here.

This will be our first time participating in this show, though we have been hearing about it for years.  It's one of the originals in the area, and has quite the reputation!

This will also be our last show of the year. 



Don Geyer's note cards - individual and sets.



I've done something new for this show.  Of the dozens of new pre-matted prints I have prepared, I've included many from out-of-state destinations such as Yosemite National Park, Grand Teton National Park, Yellowstone National Park, Glacier National Park, Death Valley National Park, the Oregon coast, Painted Hills in John Day Fossil Beds National Monument, Columbia River Gorge National Scenic Area, Skagit Valley tulips and more.  I'll have way too many to display, so I plan to have more bins to house the remainder!  Some of these images have appeared in various publications, while others are completely fresh and new!

Of course, I will still have copies of my signed book Mount Rainier, individual note cards, note card sets, postcards, and poster prints for sale as well.

As I mentioned in my previous post, one of the things I enjoy most about these shows is the chance to meet new people and share stories, as well as catch up with old friends and aquaintences.  As this will be our first time doing this show, I'm expecting to see mostly new faces.

So come on by and see us for our last show of 2011!

Renton Holiday Bazaar and Gift Show - Final Day!

The final day of the Renton Holiday Bazaar and Gift Show was quite busy for us! Thanks to all those who came out! We saw many familiar faces and met lots of new and interesting people.

Several of the prints shown in this image were sold, including my favorite one - Prusik Peak. Note cards were also a big hit - especially the box sets. I'll have lots of work to do before my next show!

I would like to extend a special 'Thank You' to the Jennifer and Shirley, who ran the event and were incredible! This was easily the most organized and publicized event I have been a part of. Kudos to them! We definitely plan to be back next year.

Renton Holiday Bazaar and Gift Show - Day 1!

We had an excellent time at the Renton Holiday Bazaar and Gift Show today, and enjoyed seeing many friends and family throughout the day! This one will definitely remain on our list for future appearances!

It was fun to meet many aquaintences too, from many places of internet interaction (including this blog). It was particularly fun to see Don Duncan, whom I met on a recent hiking/climbing trip, and learn that we have several friends in common. Small world!

Tomorrow is the final day of this show, and is expected to be busy! No matter, we still have time to meet you. Come on down!

It's right off I-405!

Upcoming Appearances

I have received a few inquiries as to my fall show schedule this year. I am currently working on confirming my fall appearances and hope to share with you soon. I'm also hoping to have some new product announcements in the coming weeks - stay tuned!

Update: I will be offering my work at the 2010 Renton Holiday Baazar at the Renton Community Center, November 19th & 20th. Details to follow closer to the dates!

Show Time!

It's that time of year again. Fall is winding down as winter storms begin to approach the Pacific Northwest. Of course, this also means that its time for me to start working various arts and craft shows around the area, and likely some gallery presentations too!

I'm still working on appearance schedules. I do know I will be appearing at the 23rd annual Martin Sortun Holiday Bazaar on November 21st. It's one of the original bazaars in the Kent area and always has a great turnout.

Speaking of Kent, I had also hoped to participate in the popular Kent Holiday Bazaar at the Kent Commons downtown. But alas, it is not to be. I am on a waiting list in hopes of making the 2010 vendor list. Keep your fingers crossed for me!

The picture above is from one of our early booths. Gearing up for shows can be a bit of an investment initially, but worth it in the long run. We started out out with the backdrop panels seen in the picture, and have added notecard holders, book and calendar holders, and - yes, more panels!

I find working shows to be a lot of fun. I meet so many interesting people and enjoy sharing stories, answering questions, and learning various things about the people in my community.

I'll keep you appraised of future shows as time goes on. It would be fun to see you!

Meridian Art Show 'Thank You'

A quick 'Thank You' to everyone who stopped by our table at the Meridian Elementary Arts & Crafts Show! We had a lot of fun talking to everyone!

This will probably be our last show until next fall. We are working on locations around the south Puget Sound area, and possibly more. I will update you as our fall/winter schedule begins to take shape!

Art Show

Spring is here and it is time for my last art show until fall. Hey, hiking/climbing season is almost here!

This Saturday, April 25th, I will have a display at Meridian Elementary School in Kent, Washington for their Spring Arts & Crafts Show.

My daughter is a Kindegarten student there, so it is my way of supporting the school, getting to know more of the community, and of course, making some of my publishings and prints available for purchase.

Items I will have available will include my book Mount Rainier, my 2009 wall calendars Wild West and Reflections (both half price), my new line of note cards, and matted prints in various sizes.

The show runs from 10:00 am to 4:00 pm this Saturday. If you find yourself in the area, come on by and say hello - I would love to meet you!

Here is a Google Map.

Art Shows

This fall we worked a number of arts and craft shows in the Kent/Renton area. This was a first for me and proved to be a lot of fun! My book Mount Rainier and both Wild West and Reflections calendars were huge hits. Pre-packaged matted prints were also popular. Most fun was meeting so many interesting people in our community. We will certainly continue participating in these events as time allows. I'll keep you posted where and when our next appearance will be, as well as what new product lines we'll be adding!
