My domain is live, with a decent little site if I do say so myself :) I used a site called weebly which is a lot like iWeb, but for me it's easier...not sure everyone would agree with that. It's still a work in progress, but check it out if you like: filthEdesign fine art & design by emily eakes

Teller's 3rd Floor Gallery Presents: 100 Originally uploaded by filthEdesign A group show of works priced at $100 or less (Poster for the opening tonight at Teller's in Lawrence, KS 6-9pm)

esquire magazine Originally uploaded by filthEdesign I submitted 3 designs and they didn't specify in the communication which submittal they chose as a runner-up, but I'm guessing this one.

Jason worked on the booth display also - it turned out really well...I spent the last 15 minutes of the show looking at my display and layout. Jackass move of the day: I didn't photograph it. Hopefully there will be another opportunity to participate in a lola event. Sunday we got up at 8. Jason drilled the last holes in the display and I drank coffee and gathered everything :) Then off to Van Go at 10 to set up. It was a great show. The level of work was great - had one person say that the stuff they were seeing looked like it could be in stores :) Lots of talented women in Lawrence. Overheard one of the ladies say that there were a lot of applications for the show - so I feel very privileged t...
