Holiday Market in Jersey City, NJ – Dec. 6th, 2016

ProjectMarketJC

THE JERSEY CITY PROJECT celebrates its second anniversary with Project: MARKET on December 5th & 6th, 2015. I am super excited that I will be there with some of my original artwork but also my artwork as giclee prints, 2016 calendars, purses, and fridge magnets.

The heated outdoor market is located in the Historic Downtown section of Jersey City, NJ and will act as a kick-off to the holiday shopping season highlighting local, celebrating seasonal, and encouraging economic growth amongst small businesses. Melding an old-world bazaar aesthetic with elements from popular culture, the market is not unlike the downtown area where it’s located – a burgeoning neighborhood rich with history and ripe with new development.

If you are in the area – come on by and visit us – behind the City Hall just a 5 mins walk from the Grove Street Path Station! I would love to see you!

Girlfriends …or In My Art Journal Today

NatKalbach_Girlfriends01

“Here is what I would like to tell you at last – I hope we are friends until we die. And then I hope we stay ghost friends and walk through walls and scare the sh* out of people!” -for a friend :)

I had spray painted over my self cut building stencil and rubbed off the excess paint on the right. Then I used the new Winsor & Newton Pigment Markers and used them to draw in and also on the images. I love how the colors pop although uncoated paper is not the perfect substrate for those markers. Below is a supply list of what I used.


Hope you have a wonderful day and you have time to talk to you friend :)

Reality …or In My Art Journal Today

“I never paint dreams or nightmares. I paint my own reality.” Frida Kahlo

Red is such a passionate color and loved using it for my textured collage background stamped with yellow and gold.

I loved the outcome – those colors just make me happy.

Here is what I used

    Gorgeous work! I was at MOMA last week and saw her self-portrait with monkey in a beautiful mirror and painted glass frame. Your journal work evokes the feeling and energy of Frida’s painting.
