Once the crowds had died down from the official opening of this very important link in the Humboldt Bay Trail, I headed out to see how it was.

Dropped off some prints and greeting cards to the Clarke Historical Museum here in Eureka, CA.

I put together a collection of cards that feature regional birds, as well as some local-oriented limited edition prints that I’ve illustrated recently. I’m beyond happy with them—they’ve done well here, and two of them sold off the wall at the recent Redwood Art Association Fall Exhibition. I’m really hoping they do well at the Museum and appeal to visitors.

We’ll see!

Visited the Clarke Historical Museum here in Eureka, CA today, and was a tad overwhelmed with visual inspiration… So much history and Victoriana… The architecture and the interior furnishings were stunning. And the Native American exhibit was gorgeous—partly curated by guest tribe members featuring their family heirlooms and weaving skills!

It was too much for my brain to handle. I have to return because there’s just so much…

Museums do that to me, but art museums especially. Clarke is a historical museum but it was still filled with artifacts and collections that were awe-inspiring to me…

I chatted with their gift shop manager, Jasmine, and got a consignment form to sell things in their gift shop. I’m beyond happy. I have some specific pieces in mind that will be perfect there!!

After last night’s street fair all by myself and then this, I’m feeling the need to crawl into my creative space for a while.

Ooooof, what a weekend.
