NEW LaRuDIO!!!

I started the move into the new studio (1 block north of Pike Place Market). I moved the majority of my stuff from the old studio and it seems like there is barely anything in there! I bought a couple storage shelves and it still seems empty. When I moved in the previous tenant left a gigantic vintage juke box and the landlord hasn't removed it, so I have to set up everything around it.
When I moved in yesterday the floor was pretty dirty, painted multiple colors with paint splatters everywhere so tonight I painted it dark brown. I was able to paint most of the floor tonight, meanwhile painting around the juke box and my things. Check out the pictures. Next I want to paint one of the walls teal...

Sketch of the day.

I sketched this a few weeks ago for a custom piece, but I like it so much that I have to share it here.

LaRudio is on the move!

New LaRudio

As of January 1st, the La Ru art studio will be moving from Ballard to downtown Seattle (1 block north of Pike Place Market)!!! I am really excited about this because it is more than three times the size of the studio in Ballard and right by my house so I will have no excuse not to work at it.  The is a picture of half the studio. I will be kind of sad to leave my ActivSpace in Ballard because I like the location, the people, and participating in the Fremont Art Walk. 


Another bonus to the new studio is that I can start hosting ladies craft night again. This summer will be the 3 year anniversary of the craft group, so it will be good to get it going again. I hope to have one the end of January or February once I am settled in. Message me if you would like to be included in the craft night invite.


Once I move my art studio, I plan to have it open most Fridays and by appointment only.

Here's a drawing for Thanksgiving. I am sharing it a day early because tomorrow I will be leaving cold Seattle and heading to warm and sunny Isla Mujeres. Hope everyone has a wonderful thanksgiving!

Architecture sketches of the day

I want to create an architectural line of LaRulry. Here are some starting sketches of Corbu's Ronchamp and Villa Savoye and Rem Koohaus' Seattle Library.

 

The beginning of the La Ru blog.

Why larudio? I have an art studio that has been nicknamed the La-Ru-dio. This is the online version of the La Ru studio: a place where I can share my drawings, shows and events, and other such things. Enjoy!
