Several Things

Hey guys! Here's some stuff I've been wanting to show you. First off, I did this painting of the Cheshire Cat in mid-disappearance for The Wishbone Society, the book club and art blog I started with some friends this past summer.

I also did this little piece based on the song "Bust a Move" by Young MC, for Ten Paces and Draw.

This map of my favorite hang-outs in Baltimore is featured on They Draw and Travel!

I finally found the copy of CMYK I'm in on a newsstand! That's my Sean Penn as Milk piece on the top right corner of the magazine!

A little while back I was asked by author and inspirational speaker Mischa Toland of Greatness Now to paint one of her quotes on a wall in her business' new space. I don't normally paint detailed lettering ten feet off the ground. Oh me achin' feet afterward from standing on that ladder so long! It was really fun seeing my work up so high, though, and I really think it does a good job of complimenting Mischa's books.

If you're in the area of Antique Row here in Baltimore definitely stop by and say hi to Mischa, James, and Ranell for me! They're some of the nicest, warmest people you'll ever meet!

Last but not least, I currently have a show hanging in Baltimore's premier pizza place, Joe Squared! If you want to have some of the best pizza of your life (oh man, they've got this amazing one with barbeque chicken and corn and avacado...mmmmm....) and BUY SOME OF MY ARTWORK, get down to Joe Squared, at the corner of Howard St. and North Avenue! I think the show will be up through mid-March but I'm not sure of the exact date, so get down there soon!

Site Down

Due to some totally infuriating issue with my host and domain registrar, www.jannamorton.com is down. I'm hoping it will be back up in a day or two. In the mean time you can see my work here or at my flickr.

Quick Collages and West Elm Signs

Here are some quick collage experiments I did a little while ago:





rooster

elephant

clumsycook

gorgon

falling 

Also, this past fall I made these signs to go above the registers in the West Elm store in Towson, MD. They were designed to encourage customers to donate money to St. Jude Children's Research Hospital during their annual "Thanks and Giving" fundraiser.
