first hello & last goodbye... [Jan. 9th, 2009|12:02 am]
painting into the night...
working on my solo at seattle's Roq La Rue, opening February 13th, 2009.


HAPPY NEW YEAR!!

for some fresh housecleaning & air-changing for 2009,
i've decided to move the journal!!

please update your links to :

{ STELLAIMHULTBERG.BLOGSPOT.COM }

+ lj feed (courtesy of [info]sapience) : [info]stellaimhultber
(please don't comment on the LJ feed, i won't be receiving them!)



sorry for the hassle & thank you for reading my measly posts & rants all these years.
hopefully over on the new blog, i'll be able to let a little looser and freely update
with more frequency and details (like painting processes & sketch snippets).

(my food blog will remain the same, but my old scrap blog is now here).

thank you,
xo stella

Raveled opening & LA trip photos [Aug. 20th, 2008|12:39 pm]
opening
Raveled : solo show. August 8th, 2008.


my solo show Raveled at thinkspace gallery went smoothly and well,
alongside super talents dennis hayes IV and allison sommers in the back project room.
the trip was pleasant and mellow, despite having to drive most of the time.

i don't have proper pictures of the pieces,
but i've taken some from the gallery before the crowd, which are below...
i've uploaded them onto my website as well.

sorry for such a photo-heavy post below...

interview


hello!
andrew over at thinkspace gallery interviewed me a few days ago,
right after i returned from my solo show there, Raveled, from august 8th.

normally i am not fond of interviews, but since i email back and forth with
andrew often, i answered them with a bit of comfort and ease...
maybe too much? i didn't know it was going to be posted so fast,
and on other sites (i saw it on juxtapoz too),
so i apologize if it sounds too casual and scattered. oops.

the original version here on their blog if you're interested..
or under the cut below.
(thank you, andrew! <3)


the interview )

+ above photo is of the mural i did in the front entrance of the gallery for the show.
i didn't take many photos, but will post some from the show soon...

+ and huge thanks to everyone that came out to the show!! i really can't thank you all enough!! <3<3

messy progress [Jun. 17th, 2008|03:23 pm]
rough
{ some pieces in progress for my next show }


throwing paint, pushing it around...
feels good to be rough and loose.

summer days and bike riding make for a slooow progress,
but one bad spill last week is now forcing me to paint a little more.
(luckily fell on the left side so my painting arm is fine...)

ughh... maybe it feels even slower because i work on many pieces at a time.
i just don't know how not to.

the long overdue site update! [Jun. 6th, 2008|02:00 am]
site update!
new front page!


finally!!!
i have gotten off my lazy ass and updated my website!

i know it's not brand new, but i'm still so excited!!
all the paintings you've seen on this journal are updated now,
and kind of re-arranged the layout.

i think the art page had been shamefully neglected since 2006 or so. O_O
thanks to pictobrower, i don't need to do much more
than just simply updating my flickr - no more formatting new pages!

though it should work pretty well, please let me know
if you see any glitches, typos, or any other problems.

photos from tokyo [May. 13th, 2008|10:55 pm]

beautiful rural japan. on our way to tokyo from narita airport.

tokyo was great.
i surprisingly had a hard time liking it the first day or two,
which was because we were mostly in shinjuku and shibuya.
the next few days were the best, hanging out in some great, slightly
tucked-away neighborhoods, eating yummy food.

food, food, food )

outdoor storage above a hardware store's roof, Hongdae neighborhood. Seoul.

finally got around to going through my 4000 photos from asia...
the sheer amount of photos i took made me procrastinate and sit on them for so long.
but here they are, as a shrunken version!

solo show recap [Apr. 25th, 2008|04:10 pm]

opening night at gallery 1988 in san francisco... march 28th.


hello!!
i'm finally back home from a 3.5-week-long SF-seoul-tokyo trip. :)
i've been back for several days yet just been sitting on all the photos,
feeling too lazy to look at them and instead distracted with so called 'experiments'...
(which i may or may not share later depending on their disastrous-ness level. haha.)

when i get out of my travel coma and have enough courage to face
the 3000 photos from korea & japan, the scary photo dump will come again.

but for now... i know it's old news, so with apologies for tardiness,
here's what i have to share from san francisco :


massive dump of painting images + photos from SF )

studio shots [Feb. 15th, 2008|04:16 pm]


my humble studio


i recently got a new camera and thought
i'd take some photos of my painting studio,
which is actually just an odd nook in our apartment.
i've been a little shy about sharing these things,
this year i'm hoping to be able to share a few pics
with my works in progress, etc...

so please peek if you're interested!


messy corners and shenanigans )

+ hope you all had a happy valentine's day! <3
