September 2015 Bitter Betty Bazaar

I’m thrilled to announce that I will be participating in the Bitter Betty Bazaar on September 20th, 2015 at the Innertown Pub (1935 W Thomas St, Chicago, IL 60622) alongside an amazing list of art, craft, vintage, and food vendors like AD HOC, Tarnish, Bitter Betty Bath, and It’ll Glow on You Illustrations!

The weekend of September 19th and 20th is a busy weekend in Chicago, including Renegade Craft Fair, but guess what! The markets are within walking distance of one another, so you can go to both!

So, as a photography business that mainly provides commercial and editorial photography services to publications and small businesses…what am I bringing to the Bitter Betty Bazaar?

Well, over the past couple of months, I’ve been working on a mixed media food (emphasis on BRUNCH) and drink photography series, combining watercolor, paint, food, and photography. Printed products from this series like matted photographic prints, greeting cards, and magnets will be available at local markets in Chicago, and soon in my online store. While large-scale photoshoots aren’t for everyone, I love the idea of making photography accessible to more people through items like prints and cards. The line of printed products will be debuted at the Bitter Betty Bazaar!

BTW, all of the food in these photos is 100% free of animal products, so you can tell your vegan best friend you got them a vegan greeting card and not just because you’re being a smartass.

Here is a sneak peek of some of the products I’ll have at the BBB.

The Donut line! A mix of real donuts and watercolor/gouache donuts with real sprinkles. L to R: 5″x7″ matted archival semi-gloss lustre print, 3.5″x2″ magnets, 8″x10″ matted archival semi-gloss lustre print, and 5″x7″ blank greeting card printed on heavy semi-gloss cardstock.

The “I Heart Coffee” line! This photo is styled with gold leaf-coated coffee beans, a heart comprised of coffee rings, watercolor, and a couple cups of coffee (with soy milk!). 8″x10″ matted archival semi-gloss lustre print, 5″x7″ matted archival semi-gloss lustre print, and 3.5″x2″ magnets. Greeting cards (not pictured) will also be available.

Maybe you’re more of a Don Draper. These cherry and orange-muddled Old Fashioned 5″x7″ matted archival semi-gloss lustre prints, and 8″x10″ matted archival semi-gloss lustre prints will be at the Bitter Betty Bazaar and online soon. This design is currently only available in prints, but more options will be rolled out with demand.

And everyone who loves wine needs a gradient of Cabernet to Chardonnay hanging on their wall! 5″x7″ matted archival semi-gloss lustre prints, and 8″x10″ matted archival semi-gloss lustre prints will be at the Bitter Betty Bazaar and online. This design is currently only available in prints as well.

These pancake designs are not part of the mixed media series, but printed items are also available! These sky-high stack of pancake will be available in 5″x7″ matted archival semi-gloss lustre prints, and 8″x10″ matted archival semi-gloss lustre prints.

If Pride Pancakes are more your thing, Rainbow Pancakes in 5″x7″ matted archival semi-gloss lustre prints, 8″x10″ matted archival semi-gloss lustre prints, and 3.5″x2″ magnets will be at the BBB and the online store soon!

I will also be bringing copies of Cheers to Vegan Sweets, Vegan Candyland, and Christmas cards (gosh, I feel like Walmart in July, telling you about Christmas cards in September).
