Mimitabby meets Shootingstar; here we are posing in front of my smaller watercolors and someone else's mixed media painting.

one of the favorite pieces at the show was this green bike.
Yes, it's sporting a brooks b67

outside, there were many more bikes parked than cars!

I really liked this wallhanging, it was for sale, about 1000 dollars canadian.

These were eyecatching pieces as well.

The fashionshow started, it was "bikeable" clothing. All the models rode gorgeous new urban cruisers. Note well, street people were behind the glass walls and doors, also enjoying the spectacle. It was a strange contrast.

This bike folded up very nicely.

shootingstar's honey is a bike advocate, he came to the show too.

The next morning, we hustled over to T & T market and then Granville Island and bought fruit and other delicacies for our lunch and dinner.

Here's my mother with some of the fruit.

Wow, Mimi! This is so cool!
(I didn't see this thread until this morning, sorry!)
It looks like great fun, with great art and great bikes! And great food!

of course, you know I *want* that triangular folder now...

and I gotta subscribe to the magazine

**BleeckerSt_Girl** · 07-20-2008, 09:47 AM

Great, Mimi!! I love the pictures! Thanks for taking the time and trouble to post them here.

Strange martian lookin' fruit! Wonderful bike art show.

I subscribed to Momentum magazine thanks you to your pointing out their website. I even ordered a few back issues as well....looks like a great bicycling lifestyle magazine, as opposed to the usual ads-disquised-as-articles bike magazine fare I've mostly seen. Thanks for the tip!

That looked like a really great show with a big turn out. I think it's so cool to see so many commuters come and support bike art.

You look radiant in your photo and your work really captures the character and mood. Congratulations again, Mimi. Good job!

Congratulations on the show, Mimi! And thanks for the pictures of the show, and thanks to whoever posted your blog site. I always love seeing peoples' art from here -- you are quite a talented lady!

BTW: I've been meaning to ask about your new avatar... explanation?

It was great to have met you mimi! How old is your Mom? She has this terrific jawline that holds up to aging so well...
I asked mimi if there is a coterie of cycling artists in Seattle. She thinks not. Maaybe they'll come out of the woodwork there one day.

The cycling fashion show was fun also. Something like copenhagen cycling girls thing wearing typical comfortable street clothing. One of the models as part of her runway cycle-walk in her outfit, get off the bike, coquettishly ham it up and quickly fold up her folding bike that she was riding.

The pink large martian-looking fruit is..dragonfruit. It has a nice mild soft texture inside. Right now, only in 99 cents per lb.

Here and in Toronto, there are loosely formed groups of cycling artists where there have been cycling-themed artshows/auctions. It's a great thing to see and even better, to love/do a sport that can also generate/inspire sideline creativity involving themes of cycling.

I will post some links to performing cyclists later in Vancouver & Toronto area.

Oh! no, I missed this

I just came back to Vancouver...

I hope to catch you and your art next time, Mimi!

**firenze11** · 07-21-2008, 04:34 PM

Wow! That's awesome Mimi, your work is so beautiful! I, too, really envy people with artistic talents. Looking through your blog, I love how you capture faces.

And I have to say I've been digging (and kinda lusting over) your avatar, too. Thanks to Jes for asking about it so I could find the whole picture. It is a really gorgeous image.
