SAN DIEGO COMIC CON!
07/13/10
It's almost time again for another fun filled, action packed week at the San Diego Comic Con! I'll be at my normal booth 4922 this year, but with some brand new exciting news! The unveiling of my new brand, The Cotton Candy Machine!
We are premiering with 4 new shirt designs at San Diego Comic Con, that will expand to more later including collaborations with other artists, bands and much much more. ALSO, We will be opening The Cotton Candy Machine retail store! Opening next Spring 2011 in the heart of Williamsburg in Brooklyn, NY! It will be your one stop shop for all things Tara McPherson, plus prints, shirts, books and more from tons of all your other favorite artists. The Cotton Candy Machine will also have a small gallery with bi-monthly openings focusing on small and affordable art works.
I'm really so excited about this venture because it provides an opportunity to hold events and do some of the things I've been wanting to do for so long. Movie nights with a projector? YES! Book signings? YES! A real cotton candy machine? YES! All in my own store! Yay! But getting back to the subject at hand... COMIC CON!! Below is my signing schedule for the whole dang event!
Booth 4922.
All signing times are at my booth unless otherwise noted.

Well... and if that wasnt enough news for you, there's more!! The first 50 people each day that come to the booth and buy a Cotton Candy Machine shirt will receive one of our brand new offset prints (of your choice) FREE with purchase! OMG!
There you have it kids! Lots of new stuff... hope to see you there!

SPEAKING AT OFFF IN PARIS
07/08/10
I just returned from an awesome trip where I was invited to speak at The OFFF Festival in Paris France.
Arriving in Paris we got some time to see some beautiful views.
The tower sparkles at night, so cute!
Getting ready for my talk. Got my dancin' mic on yo!
Here is my view out to the audience of 3000 attendees! My biggest audience so far! And this is only the right half of the audience that you can see from this angle.
View from the audience...
So crazy!
A lil' interview for G4 TV afterwards. JAZZ HANDS!
Then it was time to celebrate!! My friend Timba who makes Wooden Toy Magazine, my boyfriend Sean from Zerofriends, and designer Greg Beer.
YES HIS LAST NAME IS BEER!!! Awesome...
Then it was off to Spoleto for the Pop Surrealism show I had a couple paintings in at The Carandente Museum. It was curated and the collection of Alexandra Mazzanti, owner of Dorothy Circus Gallery in Rome.
Here is me, Sean, and Alexandra checking out the show catalog published by Drago.
Alexandra and me in front of my pieces.
Afterwards we went to Rome to hang out for a few days. I had some trouble at the Pope's house.
The last day we stopped into Mondo Bizarro Gallery to check Camilla D'Errico's show. The owners were there and gave me this nice poster made by my friend Chuck Sperry from Firehouse and we had some nice white wine.
