#stayingalive

Probably one of the best movies directed by Sylvester Stallone starring John Travolta! Dig this poster I designed for the @paid_n_sweat screening Feb 9 at @revuecinema in Toronto. Copies of the poster will be available at the screening. #dancemovies #johntravolta #stayingalive #stayingalivemovie #movieposter #movieart #posterart #illsutration #art #commission https://www.instagram.com/p/CoKpvxMOYtH/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=

Its funny how memories work. 🤔 . . Six blocks away from me is the flagship Glassybaby store and hotshop, where glass blowers are busy creating art and beauty for a cause.🕯️a few weeks ago I shared a photo of a glassblower at work there. . . Visiting the store this week reminded me of a number of years ago when my husband, his friend Laurie, and I wandered from breakfast to Donna Karen's Urban Zen in the West Village of NYC. 🗽 We had been invited by Laurie to meet Deepak Chopra and Ariana Huffington. . . On the way, we came upon a Glassybaby store! In NYC!? What was it doing here?! 😕 . . Apparently New Yorkers had the same question. I just read a case study about the store location which has been closed. . . The failure was attributed in part to customers' lack of understanding about the story behind the brand. To New Yorkers, the handblown votives and glasses were overpriced tchotchkes. . . The truth is, Glassybabys are an extravagance. But for $40 USD you get a unique work of art (no two are the same) and a portion of each is donated to cancer research and related causes. . . Tomorrow marks my 12th anniversary of beating breast cancer! 1️⃣2️⃣ I realise this has been a bit of a shaggy dog story, but the happy ending for me is, I'm still alive. . . I'm grateful for the care I received from Dr. Julie Gralow and the amazing team at the world-class Seattle Cancer Care Alliance (SCCA). . . And the fact that SCCA is one of the recipients of more than $2 million donated so far by Glassybaby, is fantastic. ☺️ . . Like I said, funny how memories work! 💫 . . #stayingalive #cancersucks #glassybaby #scca #altruism #research #savelives #cancer #urbanzen #westvillagenyc #madrona #seattle #handblownglass #glassart #glassartist . .
