3 new works for Santa Barbara Arts 1st tHuRsDaY july 3rd

New works are gicleé photographs printed on canvas. Printed by the infamous David Fick in Joshua Tree. Some of the works were manipulated before printing and all were lavished with acrylics and pastels. This is a real departure and fusion evolving and merging mediums. These images were first captured on the Wilcox property on the cliffs above the ocean or at Hendry’s Beach in Santa Barbara, or Arroyo Burro depending on when you got here.

Queer Postage Censorship is BACK

Clearly there are issues I am unaware of with zazzle and the postal system. Here’s a stamp they approved and now, without warning have deleted from my site on zazzle. What’s the deal? Here’s my original post.

Email just in: I am on with content review, they didn’t remove the image. There is no record of it being created. If you want to create again, they will get it approved ASAP as they do not see an issue with what you sent me. Best,-karen
OK the story really gets odd here. The zazzle people actually did rush this stamp back thru the hoops in about ten minutes and with extreme apologies. Well we’re legal again. I think I’m still married

June 17 Wedding Day in Santa Barbara, California

Doug and I got to the courthouse steps at 10 til 7. There was no one there. After another half an hour went by people started showing up. We were first through the door. Below you’ll find the first two pictures of my beautiful partner and then the other couples waiting in line to be wed. At the bottom of this post are a couple of pictures of some local ministers who were handing out flowers to all of us.
