Okay so it's been a while since my last post ~ sorry folks!

Well there were quite a few happenings, but that's all in the past and I'm excited about the future. So what's up you may ask...well I am pleased to say that I will be participating in the upcoming Market Collective at the old Anthill Fabrics store in Kensington, Calgary during the Sled Island Festival. I've been working, but I must admit I could work a lot harder!!! But I must admit I miss the full time access to my studio space at home ~ however it is temporary :)

Cheeky Coupon!

Wow, where does the time fly off to, cause it's leaving me lagging!  Well, it's not that bad at all! However today marks one year that I left Korea, and boy I sure do miss it, especially my beautiful Seoul sistas ~ you know who you are!

So this time last year I was flying off to Bangkok and here I am embracing the cold weather wondering just how much more snow is going to fall before Spring is over???  But on the flip side I have a fantastic deal for you Cheeky Nado Fans, as well as those who are fans of A Print A Day ~ I know I am!

The first ever Cheeky Nado coupon!  

That's right:

Free shipping to anywhere!

A free gift!!

And a coupon for 1/2 off your next purchase!!!

So why not check out the Cheeky Nado store for your cheeky items, there's more to come, and if you're in the Calgary area, this Saturday you can meet me in person at the Night to Fight Music and Art Festival at University of Calgary where you can check out the cheeky items for yourself, or buy a raffle ticket to win this original drawing; proceeds from the raffle will go to Doctors Without Borders for Darfur.  See you there!

Cheeky Nado is getting busy :)

So I started my new job on Monday but only to find out that I am a sub teacher as I'm at the bottom of the seniority list, so I have to wait until there's a class for me :(

In other news Cheeky Nado has two upcoming events the first is on March 28th "Night to Fight" music and arts festival.  The event is to raise awareness and educate the public about the ongoing genocide in Darfur the profits they make will go to Doctors without borders.  I'm also donating two framed original illustrations for the event.  

The second event is April 18th Market Collective at the Carpenter's Union in Kensington: An interactive market of local artisans.

I'm busy finishing many projects plus I'm putting together 70 promo packs for another table that an Alberta Etsy Team member has for the Portobello Market in the Big Four this summer ~ I wish I could be apart of it but I simply can't afford the table fees :(

Below is a sneak preview of the new work for Cheeky Nado: meet St Trinian Sarah!

Disco Studio Queen

How can I forget the Disco Studio Queen print, one of my favourties :)  I love it when I have some good tunes on and the beat just gets the better of me and I start dancing ~ so what I'm by myself in my studio,  I have to party Stavely Styleeee with me myself and I!

New Print

So I finally put up a print for sale.  It has taken me a while and I have to a give big thanks to Ryan who helped me to print.  I do plan on putting more up for sale, and will blog about it too.

Other than that not too much is happening here, I am busy getting more work done, and man living so far is really getting to me.  I really need some things to complete some of my projects, and it's just a few things from a dollar store.  I did go to Claresholm, the closest town with some stores, but even there I had a hard time finding double-sided tape and of all places I found glue sticks in the supermarket but not in the two bargain/mini department stores in town or the hardware store ~ strange.  I would be happy to deal with online purchases if Canada Post wasn't so slow and somewhat unreliable as I've had a few packages go astray as well as I'm still waiting on receiving packages for the last four months!   Gosh I miss living in Seoul, shop online today and receive tomorrow or within two business days!  Balli Balli!

Oh and I do have good news ~ I have a job interview on Tuesday teaching ESL so wish me luck :)  Happy Sunday all!

Storque Showcase on Etsy

I'm in the Storque Showcase on Etsy today, so let's hope this brings some business. I've been spending a lot of time trying to promote Cheeky Nado. It's not easy, I wish I paid more attention in business class in school ;P

I also signed up with Art Fire another online store like Etsy, but I must admit I like the clarity on Etsy.

If you have any ideas please, let me know.

Daily creativeness 1: Cheeky Nado Stuck in the Snow

Cheeky Nado Stuck in the Snow, originally uploaded by Shazzbazz draws the Line!.

I've decided to create something everyday as a way to keep a journal or sketchbook. It doesn't matter what medium I use just as long as I create something, and I must admit that being home without a job and all that jazz, that I have millions of ideas and need to focus with all this inspiration ;P

Oh, today was a fun day trying to get the car unstuck, I hope things are okay tomorrow as there's more snow on the way. However we can't park close to the house as the driveway is too deep of snow. There's no way that I'm shoveling it either, as the length is about two acres long!!!

Oh, the joys of snow :)
