Special thanks to my friends at FabLab for their help and patience as I set out to see how big of a laser cut I could make.
Answer: approx. 22″ x 34″.
I still smell like a Russian banya (sauna) from sitting next to the laser cutter for so long. Mm-mm, burnt birch goodness.

Clandestine – Work in progress

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.

April Already?

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!

Nap time = Work Time Pt. 2

Draft for a new piece. “Quails are art, not food.” [Obviously the title needs work, too.] {*Wait, what is the plural of quail? Is it just quail?}
