Well...not exactly, but my STUDIO & Ranger the cat are!!!
This is the secret that couldn't be told...BUT...today I got the word that I could finally share this exciting news.
Take a look!!! Click on the photo for a really big look!
I was thrilled when I got word that some photos of my studio would be included inside this special issue of Cloth Paper Scissors. It's called...STUDIOS. Hmmm...that makes sense...
Then...the story got better when it was considered for the cover. And the worse part??? KEEPING MY LIPS SEALED...geez...it about killed me!
So...we had a conference call...then a professional photographer came...and above is the result.
The process was very cool. He took photos, we emailed them to Larissa @ CPS.
..she made suggestions.
..we bribed the cat.
..and ended up with this shot. The photos were tricky because the room has 5 windows & 4 skylights. The lighting for me, as an artist, is perfect, but from a photography point of view...not fun to deal with. The shadows changed by the minute. But he did a great job & I'm beyond thrilled with the photo.
***
The photographer is Jake Krancic. He's an amazing photographer & all around GREAT GUY!!
THANK YOU JAKE!
***
The first issue of STUDIOS was such a huge success that they were bombarded with requests for a second issue. It is loaded with great photos and TONS of tips for organizing. If you haven't seen it...it's a must have.
***
I have to tell you that dealing with these folks was THE BEST experience. I've had many emails from Cate Prato...threatening to come steal my drawers...
she was kidding...I THINK??
She wanted a photo of me...I declined...she threatened to "photoshop" the cat's head on a body & say it was me...
she was kidding...I THINK???
I guess we'll see when this gets released on October 7th.
So...preordering info is here. It will be on newsstands on October 7th...
I'm anxious to see what's on the inside. I sent several room photos & some closeups.
I'm expecting LOTS of great photos from other studios & more organizing tips too. Floorplans, inspiration & MORE!!!
That's my story & I'm sticking to it!
The end!

AH-HA! I thought so! I left a comment a week ago-Tue. Aug. 12th, because I got a newsletter from Cloth Paper Scissors about the Studios special issue...I've been reading your blog since (almost) the beginning, and I remembered your studio (who wouldn't) and was so excited! But then you still didn't talk about it, so I thought I must have been mistaken. You would think if they are showing the cover on the internet that you could talk about it! Anyway, CONGRATULATIONS! And just in case anyone else was thinking about it: I AM NEXT IN LINE FOR ALL YOUR GREAT VINTAGE STORAGE, right, Wendy? (heehee) Erin : )
Oh how exciting Wendy!! I love your studio and how wonderful are all those card catalog drawers??!!!
Wonderful, beautiful...TFS and Ranger is quite the cover cat! TFS!!

Wendy...how totally FAAAAABULUS !!! Fantastic looking room...even better cat! And how did you come up with "Ranger"for a name...LOL.
Thrilled for you !
congrats, can't wait to pick up this issue. Your studio looks amazing.
Cannot wait, I loved the last 'Studios' issue. Congrats to your kitty on making the cover, and to you for staying out of it (I share your camera-shyness) - but, hmm, maybe that's too early, your head may be photoshopped onto the cat :)
Congrats!! I will definately buy this magazine. I can't wait to see more pics!!
Congrats on a beautful studio and for getting the cover of one of the most sensational art magazines to exist!
I will have to see if I can preorder a copy of it here in Australia!
Ranger is gorgeous .. he looks much like my man Max :)
