Austin Smiles

I have just returned to New Orleans from Austin, where we had a show celebrating the release of my feature in Rare magazine, in conjunction with Amanda Hyde of Montage Eco Fashion. The show was a lot of fun to put together with the mixing of mine and Amanda's aesthetics. We made circus-tent-esque dressing rooms, art-hula-hoops, sangria and many memories. My thanks go out to Amanda for co-hosting the show, and to all my loyal family, friends and supporters for coming out to the opening. We had a lot of fun.

Good news for everyone else, there are still "Rare" pieces available for purchase. They are all originals, about 10"x9", plus a white mat and frame, and range from $300-$475. Hopefully I will list them on my website and Etsy shop soon. In the meantime, to view these works, please go to RareAustinAugust

New York Re-Cap

Here are some pics from my time in NYC.

hot summer in the (ny) city

Tomorrow morning, I'm off on an art-focused jaunt in NYC for 7 days, and I've just spent Sunday afternoon happily filling my new Moleskin City Notebook with galleries, museums, artists, places and things to do while I'm there. I'm sure all of my plans will change the minute I arrive, but I'm looking forward to test-driving the new moleskin. For all who are moleskine devotees like me, I'm sure you know about the city notebooks. If you have any bits of advice, drop me a line. Otherwise, I'll let you know how the old leather and paper holds up when I return. Maybe I'll even share a page from the journal/sketchbook. ok. time to pack.

Rare

Hello world!

I have exciting news to share! This month (august), I am the featured artist for Rare magazine.
Rare is an Austin-based arts and culture magazine that's published each month chock full of glossy colorful happenings, cool people, good eats, and general aliveness in Austin, TX (a place I called home for a bit).
The feature is any artist's dream, including my art on the cover and on 10 full pages throughout, a playful pic of me (shot in New Orleans at Slim Goodies), and a sweet full-page write-up. Thank you to Rare for the awesome feature!
All artwork in the magazine (plus some) will be on display and for sale at the opening on Aug. 23 at Montage Clothings on North Loop in Austin.

If you're in the Austin area, come on out to Montage on Aug. 23 for sweet art and earth-friendly fashions, circus-tent dressing rooms, hula hoops, projected style show in the courtyard, refreshing tonics, and music to move you.

Anyone not in the Austin area who is interested in purchasing a piece from the magazine, just email me! rebecca@rebeccarebouche.com

rare-in,
Rebecca
