White Elephant Show


This is going to be at The White Elephant Show. It's Pomona (the Roman goddess of the orchard), tending to her garden with her helper monkeys. More info below for a good cause!


WHAT: .ISM quarterly presents the WHITE ELEPHANT show
WHEN: Friday, December 15 . 8:00 - 11:00 pm (invitation only)
Saturday, December 16 . 4:00 ­ 11:00 pm (open to the public)

Everyone in attendance will be required to bring at least one new present promoting the creative arts (scissors, glue, crayons, construction paper, colored pencils, markers, wiggly eyes, yarn, etc)

Contributing ARTISTS will sell original work at a discount rate to help raise money for the hospital. 100% of sales will be donated to the Children¹s Hospital of Orange County.

_______________________________________

On another, more whiny note, my computer's CRT monitor is dying, presumably. It made three loud popping noises last night and kept turning itself on and off. There wasn't any smoke, but it sounded like fireworks. Luckily I am borrowing an extra monitor. Is it worth the time and money to get the other one fixed? Or should I just get it properly disposed of?

I just discovered your stuff, Potato Farm Girl! Your'e amazing! And really entertaining. I love how everthing you do shows a little quirky personality (I assume it's your personality? And not some robot overlord's?) Word.

Another beautiful one. You couldn't suck if you tried, could you? ;)

Ditch that CRT and get a flat screen. Your eyes will thank you.

I love the way the trees work as a border in your illo. Very nice colors too =).

Great colour. Looks like a children's book I'd love to read!

LCD colors arn't as good as CRTs but they make up for it with a crisper image. They are also way better for your eyes. Monitor is definitely not worth repairing. Dispose of it properly (i think it's illegal to throw monitors in the trash)

Nice picture! Good composition and color. Always with that wonderful color pencil texture. Such a cute girl too!

The monkeys came out really well. It'd be nice if you had a picture with just the monkeys.

Lovely picture! Monkeys for a good cause are always good. I'd ditch the monitor and get a juicy LCD as well.

LCD it shall be it seems. CRT supposedly have better color, but the LCD will be better on the eyes. Thanks for the super nice comments, and Chua, that link is the best thing this week so far!

Beautiful piece Brianna. Love the layers, color scheme, and of course the monkey guys. Good luck at the show. I'll try and stop by if I'm not bogged down in Christmas shopping.

I used to do a lot of electronic repairs. I'd suggest you just dispose of your monitor.
Most things today are just easier and cheaper to throw away when they have a serious problem requiring component (board) level repair.
Minor problems are usually OK to repair but not always.
Your monitor sounds like it would require a lot of new parts to properly repair. Besides all that you also run the risk of it breaking again in the near future from the same cause.
Sometimes the part that breaks isn't the only part responsible for something breaking, the main problem fully develops sometime later.
