Orange Friendly Silkscreen & Artistry

it’s always 10:15 in the garage

Posted By Kelly Orange on August 7, 2006

I keep this broken clock that says it’s 10:15. I guess it means something to me….it belonged to my friend Chris, we used it to time the flash drier when we first started Orange Friendly. That was 2 years ago, or 2 1/2. I can’t remember, but that reminds me I have to pay my sales tax. Ok back to the clock.
There’s lots of things a broken clock represents, time, ending of time etc etc, but really 10:15 is to me the perfect time. Well, the sum of the ..’s is 7 which is important, 7 luna ladies, 7 wonders, 7 means perfect/complete/fullness in many religions, 7 is my numerology .., 7 days of the week, 7 heavens, 7 deadly sins, and the seventh son of a seventh son….. 10:15 in the am is reasonable, If you go to bed at 2 you still get 8 hours sleep, and it’s not too close to noon, 10:15 at night is right past the time when everything goes quiet, but it’s not too late. Most people are sleeping so the night is yours.

Menos el oso.

Fruit of the Soul 2006 recap

Posted By Kelly Orange on August 1, 2006

Fruit of the Soul 2006 was awesome! Thanks to all the artists that donated their work, we made $850.00 from art sales to give to the San Diego Music Foundation & were still able to give the artists some money from that! How awesome is that? People were buying things left & right, I didn’t even have a second to sit down! It was a great party & I’ve already started thinking about next year, even though I’m still not fully recovered from this one. I think it is just the most amazing thing that so many people can come together, have a good time and support the arts. Thanks to all the people that came and helped us set up & take down (you rule!), and thanks to all my friends, new & old who came out, supported me & even bought some cool art! I was sweating the entire night, which kind of sucked, but I was so wrapped up that I didn’t even notice really. Niamh & Janelle I love you guys… passion will get you everywhere & you are two that I will never lose touch with. The Harrington brothers who own Specialty Produce, are so awesome & made us feel at home & thanks to all the vendors that came out and donated their food & services.

So now Janelle & I have curated 3 shows & this one, by far was the most awesome experience. Working for free is hard, but it’s all worth it in the end & having an awesome partner to work with makes it so much better! Live & Learn. I’m glad our crabbiness doesn’t get the best of us…..I heart you.

stay tuned for pictures….. ;)

ps myspace is starting to suck……but I’m listening to Tristan Prettyman so all will be ok
