We’ve been joking about this for a while, but the gauntlet is down. For the next 30 days (or until we get sick of this), a battle of epic proportions will take place.
Tim Kapler vs. Suzanne Skaar: Who can make the cutest picture?
Rules:
1. Work must be posted on alternating days.
2. Art must be new.
3. Rules can change.
First slap:
Suzanne’s Baby Armadillo.
Beat that, Kapler.
Well, despite our car being broken into AGAIN (twice in less than a year) on the day after Suzanne’s birthday, the installation is moving ahead. Here are some glimpses into the behind the scenes action.
See you at the Anacortes Arts Festival!

A few more photos from the painting frenzy in the studio, fueled by good food and too much coffee.

Earlier today, I said to someone that when designing this installation, I have been trying to make art that fits the theme while also making something that my daughter would like.
Considering my toughest critic just stole one of the “babies!” from my desk, I’d say the project is going swimmingly. (Wah wah.) Less than 3 weeks to go, so
Full Steam Ahead!

(Like what you see? You can find more of my art here.)
Here’s a couple of pictures from tonight’s work session.

“Clandestine” – Work in progress, Suzanne Skaar, 2014.
The Waste Land. Suzanne Skaar. Digital Media.
In memory of April, and other loved ones who have lost the fight to cancer. It was a hard battle; she fought it graciously, on her own merits. She was a good woman, a hilariously goofy friend, a loving mother and wife, a devout believer, and my forever mischievous cousin. Today she would have been 35. She was always much braver than I, and she stood by me when I needed it, even though an entire country separated us.

Animation, concept work.
Suzanne here. I’ve been slacking on keeping up the blog because of all the cool wheelings and dealings going on. 🙂 First, my proposal, “Little Hermitage,” has been picked up by Tacoma’s Spaceworks, meaning once a suitable space is found, I’ll be working in a space that will be open to the public for special events once or twice a month.
I am also excited to start working on a new project for an out-of-town arts festival. Above is a sneak peek into August’s fun. Details for both will be posted on the Upcoming Events page.
As always, if you are interested in collaborating, purchasing artwork, or just giving us a shout out, leave a comment or email nominestudios [at] hotmail.com. We’re also on Facebook because we’re cool (?) like that. We’d love to hear from you!
Cheers!
