I'm quite pleased to say that not only have I finally sorted out the international shipping options for ye olde One Stop Backstock Pop Up Shoppe but have also been adding some paintings to the mix:
With hopefully lots more to follow after the holiday rush! And maybe most importantly, I also figured out how to add DISCOUNT CODES! From this very moment through December 1st, just enter the code LAFORETNOIRE at checkout for an instant 20% off!!! Hurrah! Happy almost-the-holidays everyone! xoxoxo

Hi guys!!!

I'm cleaning out my archives! Duplicates, triplicates, long lost production samples, alternate colorways and all sorts of odds and ends are up for grabs, through the month of September only!

Here's the link: http://fawn.bigcartel.com



Also, new ebay listings ending tomorrow! Farewell cute 60s floral corduroy suits, hello off the grid treehouse (Maybe? Unless my beloved Portland would like to produce some exciting projects for me to toil away at? Soonish?)

Hello everyone!
I have a 2 person show with Dana Carlson (one of my all time favorite contemporary painters!) opening this Friday at Aftermodern in San Francisco:

Pink Worlds (and White Icing)
An Exhibition of Recent Works by
Fawn Gehweiler and Dana Carlson

Opening Friday, May 23rd, from 6 to 8:30pm

Aftermodern Fine Art Gallery
445 Bryant Street
San Francisco

For more information please visit:
http://www.aftermodern.com

About Pink Worlds:
Taking a cue from the show's namesake "Pink Worlds and White Icing", a collection of poems written by a 12 year old girl in late 60s, artists Dana Carlson and Fawn Gehweiler each present a collection of recent works that take a turn for the pastoral, pop and pretty, albeit with a dash of dark comedy thrown in for good measure. Awash in preteen nostalgia, strangely baroque and alternately naive, precocious, and deeply introspective, these tiny poems about "color, the Beatles, bubblegum, nature, and the universe" lend both a perfect title and a perfect backdrop to their respective candy colored dreamscapes and imaginary narratives of head-in-the-clouds teenage psychedelia.

About the Artists:
Dana Carlson combines traditional painting methods with embroidery, beadwork, and appliqué to create hybrid-handiworked dream worlds. Her intricate paintings conjure up a pretty, Romantic absurdity that is part down-home psychedelia, part angsty gesture painting, and part earnest teenager. Dana earned her MFA from Hunter College in New York in 2000 and continues to exhibit in the New York area and worldwide. Originally from Des Moines, Iowa, Dana currently lives and works in Brooklyn, New York.
http://www.danacarlson.com

Fawn Gehweiler's signature character based paintings have exhibited in galleries around the world and appear in a number of prominent private collections. Originally from Hawaii and currently based in the Pacific Northwest, her work combines the influence of a bohemian upbringing, sartorial escapism, and her own family tree. Widely considered a major influence in the recent explosion of young feminine art in the United States, her aesthetic hinges on a delicate balance of past and present, building obsessive narratives through personal artifacts that reflect the imaginary worlds of little girls, treading the fine line between wide eyed innocence and dark fairy tales.

Come on out if you have the chance, it would be great to see you!

Dear Melbourne!

Please pencil me in!

I'm having a mini exhibition of new mini portraits on wood at Outre Gallery!

A description I love from the gallery website:
This beautiful mini-exhibition of crisp, dreamy portraits is a celebration of dollybirds, bubblegum, and girlish fantasies...

More information about the show HERE!

Sadly I won't be in attendance, but there will be a little launch party with pink fizzy drinks on Saturday September 8th at high noon!

shop updates!

Also a handful of the limited postcard/print sets from the show!

PS. All outstanding shop orders go out this coming week!

PPS. A thousand more mini art sales and flurries of ebaying are on the way, hopefully enough to move from just scraping by to adding to our 'Escape from LA' fund once and for all! I hate this town so much that it borders on ridiculous, help us move to the woods and i'll owe you cocktails for life!
