officially in a store near you

So I donned my favorite Urban Outfitter’s jacket, grabbed Sean and my camera and paid a visit to Urban Outfitters to see my art in person. While I felt sort of silly posing with my art in the middle of the store, it had to be done. It was just one of those special moments to be captured by a photograph. :) When I saw the actual canvases, which Sean discovered first, I jumped with excitement. I have to say it is an unusual feeling to see something you created, that has been so close to you in your small creative world, appearing on a larger stage in such a mass market. But anyway, I just wanted to let you know that you can find the canvases in stores now! Yippy!! Thanks again for all the UO love and a special thanks to Bacchus who even sent me photos he took from a San Francisco store.

Dear Marisa--

Wonderful is all I can say!

Thank you for telling about Eckhart Tolle, I can't get enough of it and being aware. What a breathtaking and oh so simple sensation.

All the best.

Many, many congratulations! I love cheering the successes of fellow artists-- and what a success this is!

I'm also loving the tiny jaackalope painting up above-- so wonderful and wee!
CONGRATULATIONS! It's an awesome feeling, isn't it! When I see something I made in a store my first reaction is "WooooHoooo! Look what I did! No way!" and then I want to run around and tell strangers (just like a kid!).
It's always fun to see your stuff in stores, I never grow tired of it. My favorite is when people tell you when they see it! Congrads and welcome to the licensing world!
Congratulations! I love Urban Outfitters
