Coming Right Up...


Yesterday's chat at the DePaul College here in Chicago went quite well. Max Bare and I were invited to discuss our work, life as a full time artist / gallery owner, making a brand out of yourself and give a couple self promotion tips. Two Hours later... we got celebratory ice creams, because that is what you do when you are a grown-up.

In other news, lots of projects, shows and cons. So I may be posting quite a bit of WIP photos to my tumblr over the next 3 months. 

AND, here is a List of all the summer shows and cons booked thus far.

It's Alive!

After months and months of building backgrounds, adjusting images, finding sizing for pieces I made in 2007,  editing out old stuff, finding show lists and bothering Jarrett to use his super brain to make all that other stuff work... my website is done! www.lanacrooks.com is ready to rock and roll and be easily updated (something I am not always the best at doing).

Speaking of updates, I now also have Twitter, tumblr and an Artist page on FB:

I update these more regularly with various adventures and WIP pictures. My Blog I plan to reserve for more lengthy updates of monthly news updates and ramblings :)

Lots coming up in the next few months... but more on that later.
