Art at the Queen West Art Crawl’s Event Hip 2B Square

Hey! If you’re in Toronto next Friday (March 28th), you should consider coming to the Hip 2B Square Art Market at Goodfellas Gallery (1266 Queen Street West). It’s a fundraiser for the Queen West Art Crawl, and my art (among over 100 other 6×6 pieces!) will be available for sale in support of QWAC.

The piece I created for the event is a continuation of my “Roots” series. I wasn’t planning on there being a part V, but here it is! It should be a fun evening–hope to see you there.

New Mixed Media Piece: “OctoPunk” by Sarah Y. Varnam

Hey! I finished this one about a week ago but have been too busy to upload it. “OctoPunk” is something of a companion piece to “Medusa (Octo)”. This one is a little more androgynous than my mostly feminine portraits. I’m hoping to do a few more masculine pieces sometime soon.

Quilliad launch

What we’re trying to do with our Kickstarter is kick everything up a notch. We already pay our contributors (something we’d like to see become more widespread with literary and art journals), but we want to offer more to those to provide us with their creative work. We also want to print this issue in colour, as the theme is “literary and other arts”, and thus this issue will have a lot more images in it than usual. We’d love to thank our…
