I love this new bag!

nobody@vox.com(Jen Lukas) — Mon, 21 Apr 2008 08:04:01 -0700

When I saw I had a package laying on the kitchen table, I knew exactly what it was. A sample of my newly designed bag. I have been working hard on creating new excited designs for these bags and trying to find the perfect size bag needed for all of us busy women. So take a look at the final product. You can order this bag from my website at http://www.jenlukas.com

Hey everyone, last week I was inspired to put some of my new bags up on my big cartel site. I have clutches or wrist bags that I LOVE and carry around with me all the time, it is perfect for throwing your keys, some money and your cell phone into for a night out. I have also added a satchel and a lunch box. You can choose between 7 different images and I will be adding more often, so check back regularly.

Also, if you like my work I would love you to pass this along to any family or friends who may be interested in my work.

Here is the link: http://jenlukas.bigcartel.com/ and also my site http://www.jenlukas.com/

New work. Come see, this Friday March 7th.

nobody@vox.com(Jen Lukas) — Tue, 04 Mar 2008 18:42:19 -0800

Any of you ever heard of a Gocco printer? I have wanted one for years and finally purchased on, it was shipped to me straight from Japan. So basically, I went crazy wild printing on it. Come down to my studio this Friday, March 7th from 7-9 and see what I have been up to. I have small handmade "love notes" on sale for $5, each different from the next and plenty to choose from. I haven't put any of this new work up on my website, so if you see something that interests you, just email me and I can put it in the mail for you.

My hubby is also still showing his Africa photos, so if you missed his opening last month here is your second chance. We will be in the basement of the Burkholder Project from 7 -9pm.

much love,
Jen

Girl with Kudu Horns

Girl with kudu horns

My husband and I went to Zambia for our honeymoon. It was the most amazing trip ever. We were in the air 24 hours just to get there. Omaha - Chicago - Heathrow - Nairobi - Harare - Lusaka! Each day we woke up at 5 am, had breakfast and then went for our morning safari drive. Each night we also had sundowners out in the bush with our favorite cocktails, then scouted to night game. The animals we saw were incredible and breath taking. I especially fell in love with the kudu. I hadn't heard of a kudu before this trip. This is my first drawing of my girl after being influenced by this African trip. Look for more, she had a blast traveling in the southern Luwanga region.

January's First Friday was a success!

nobody@vox.com(Jen Lukas) — Sat, 05 Jan 2008 07:44:49 -0800

I had such a blast last night at my art opening. Thanks to my SRA friends for coming out, it was so nice to see you. But the majority of the people coming through I met for the first time last night.

There was an amazing energy in the room, the champagne was flowing and I sold a bunch of prints too, which I love! Thanks again for coming out last night.

If you didn't get a chance to join me, I just marked down my prints on my website http://www.jenlukas.com and on my big cartel site: http://jenlukas.bigcartel.com

love,
Jen

Happy New Year!

nobody@vox.com(Jen Lukas) — Wed, 02 Jan 2008 10:15:33 -0800

This year is sure to be as exciting as last year. Except this year I need to create create create. Looking back on all I accomplished last year is only giving me more drive to work twice as hard this year.

My goals of 2008 are:
1. Sell my art in small boutiques all over the world.
2. Write and illustrate a book with my husband, Matt.
3. Inspire and create full time.

What are your new year's goals?
