Coworking Rocks!

Hat Factory in San Francisco

Coworking is cafe-like community/collaboration space for developers, writers and independents. It is a growing trend that's taking off worldwide. I was part of the coworking list-serve for a few months and was so impressed by the passion coworkers have for this movement. It's not about making money, although most are operated as businesses. It's about building community.

I am proud to say that I am officially coworking! I am sharing space at Dinnerware Artspace in downtown Tucson. Here is a picture of my space. Come by and visit anytime - 264 E. Congress (just west of the historic Hotel Congress).

Five Things About Me!

Alanna of Painted Cats tagged me to write five interesting things about myself and I accept the challenge!

1. I am working on a business website finally! Click here for a sneak preview (it's still very rough). My friend Alice is doing the technical part.

2. Two of my artworks are in an exhibit at Dinnerware now! The exhibit is called A Night of 1000 Drawings. I also designed the flyer for the event.

3. I love fake food - paper mache fruit, fake sushi, ice cream cone erasers, you name it. When I was in elementary school I made pillows shaped like food. I recently bought "Toast" (see above) from Lu Lu Bell's Toy Bodega.

4. When I was a kid, I got lost at Disneyland. I wasn't scared and I got a free lollipop!

5. I love fonts. My favorite font sites are myfonts. com, emigre, abstract fonts (free fonts!). My most recent font purchase was "Subkiko Two." Although I have many fonts, I usually use the same ones over and over again. Another great design site is veer.com.
