Before I embark on a little vacation to Dallas and Philadelphia, I thought I’d launch a new website!
Drywell Art is now my one-stop shop for, well, my shop, my blogs, flickr, twitter, press, etc. I’m applying to some holiday craft shows, and wanted one place for everything, so I’m not listing like 10 websites.
The site was made with iweb, which was remarkably, amazingly easy, even customized with my little hand-drawn touches.
Now I suppose I should get business cards, where I’ll now only need to list ONE website! whew!
So I had a night of fussy unsuccessful sleeping, worried about my hair-brained scheme to screen print 40 t shirts 36 hours before selling them.
So at 7 this morning, I got up, got my act together, and by 8am, I had this.
Success!! I tested a few shirts that I got at Goodwill and they came out amazing! A quick heat set with an iron, then a wash and dry, and they were awesome! I’m super psyched. And ready to print 40 of them tomorrow. 
I just need to figure out how to register the shirts correctly, so I print in the same place on each shirt. But I think I can figure that out easily enough.
They will be available at Indie Mart on Sunday, with any leftovers going up in the shop.
It’s that time again! I’m furiously and happily working on some new goodies for this Sunday’s Indie Mart. There will be new prints, a new poster, and good god I hope some Tshirts.
If you’re in the city, stop on by and say hi. Oh, and get some ridiculously good tater tots too.
Sunday, September 19

Thee Parkside, 17th and Wisconsin

In MORE good news, last week my little art self was nominated as one of the best local San Francisco Etsy shops, by 7×7 Magazine.
I’m pretty blown away that I was nominated at all, since I only had my first sale in February of this year! Plus there is some awesome competition.
The winner will be featured in November’s issue of 7×7 Magazine. So if you’re so inclined, you can check out the voting page and vote for Drywell. You can vote once a day until this Thursday, September 9th. And you could…. uh… tell your friends?
I have a feeling there are a lot of new eyeballs on ye ole blog, as Thrillist ran an awesometown write up of my little art shop, drywell…art by alyson, today.
So welcome to all the “sent-by-Thrillist” folks! Hope your eyeballs like it.
Also, I semi-stroked out this morning when I was just sitting, catching up on my bloglines and saw my little “friday socks” illustration on eastsidebride. Did a double-take, realized it was not in fact, my OWN blog that I was reading, and yelled to the hubby like a crazy-person. ESB and A Practical Wedding were my go-to blogs when planning my wedding last year, and in fact, are the only two I still l read now that the deed is done. So, uh, thanks. You made my Saturday.
