One year.

Friday night, we gathered, (we: Teresa, Annika, Brittanee and her posse (Jemie, Blaise, Chris, Brikaeli) ) we planned, we accomplished.

Mission: to tag this old blue abandoned building with some art and lovin'.

It was 10:30 when we met at the building, everyone had a task. All the girls posted up to keep watch for cop cars and/or suspicious looking vehicles. Bird calls/barks/throw up noises all practiced to a T, we were ready. The boys all stuck up the 6 foot sticker of a painting that Teresa did of her and her boy Jordan. We finished in no time flat just as 3 cop cars drove past.

Mission accomplished.

Jordan saw the next day.

Now there is just a ghost image.

Happy anniversary you two love bugs!

Show at Phillips Gallery

Last Friday was the opening to Teresa's solo show at Phillips Gallery in SLC. What a show! Besides the wine and halloween m&m's, it was packed with art enthusiasts getting their fair share of mind blowing art. Teresa, Jonny, Amber and I posted up in the basement where her 26 peices could be viewed. (Can be viewed...the show is up for 3 more weeks) The ceiling creaked with heels and dress shoes on the main floor, slowly waltzing around socializing and art gazing. The whole event was a good 3 and a half hours, and I would say it was good time spent during Salt Lakes October gallery stroll.

Thanks to all who came out to support Teresa and her beautiful work!

Snail girl and Polar bear girl went camping

One of the last warm weekends, with the leaves turning, Teresa and boyfriend Jordan went camping at the Spruces Campground up Big Cottonwood Canyon. It was wild.

Polar bear girl makes chopping wood look goooood.

It was a grand weekend. Still interested in what your Sleepicture girl is doing! Email us your stories or photos here, and if you are interested in becoming a writer for our blog and getting rad necklaces and things to write about...let us know!

Giraffe Girl goes to the Markt

It was market day in Münster, Germany and Giraffe Girl, sick of beer and brats, was craving some fresh produce. Striking out on her own she made a few friends, saw the sights, and worked up an appetite along the way. Not, of course, without turning many heads. This girl travels in style.

Everyone wanted to stop with her for a photo op.

The real thing is preferable to these marzipan knock-offs. But they still look divine, wouldn't you say?

The number of bicycles was simply dizzying!

A short reunion with some friends-of-friends at the market.

The perfect spot to take a moment to rest and write home.

She knows which colors suit her best.

And there's {more}!

What adventures has your Sleepicture girl had?

More new interns!

Jonny here again letting you know were adding two new interns to our ranks here we have the incredibly shy Rebecca. I've taken pictures of lightning before but apparently Rebecca is faster than that. Rebecca is still in high school and is going to be helping us out where she can.

We also have Amber she wants you all to know she is very rude and unruly, but it must be around other people that she act like that cause we don't notice. she is here to help with framing at the moment but will soon move on to bigger and better things.

such as being Teresa's hitman

(hitwoman doesn't have the same ring to it)

Check back with us regularly for more bios from Sleepictures.

and a sneak peek at the phillips gallery show

See you Real soon.

Fashion Stroll

Hi all Jonny here

If you're reading this than you probably already knew. On september 25th there was a Stroll in the name of "Fashion". Fashion stroll they called it, I was there and so were all these nice folk. They were all gathered round to see the latest and greatest creative wearables.

Sleepictures was right there in the thick of it. a wild party with renegade models on a makeshift runway. The kinda party you don't know is happening till your friend grabs you by the arm and tosses you in. Well were your friend now stick with us we won't lead you astray.

The next party is a gallery showing of Teresa's photography at phillips gallery on 444 E. & 200 S. here in the city of salt. Come between 6 and 9 to see the driving force of Sleepictures. We will have more details and a sampling of the show in the next blog post.

See you real soon.

9th & 9th Street Festival

The Sleepictures booth was the place to be at the 9Th & 9Th street festival on Saturday. People came in and out all day long and we did pretty well if you ask me. Booth setup and take down happened in record time thanks to the Interns and Teresa herself. Isn't our booth pretty? It was an exciting day filled with mystery, intrigue, and puppies. Teresa was pleased to find out she has a younger audience as a young girl browsing the booth saw her stickers and let Teresa know that having one on her notebook would make her the envy of all her friends at school to which Teresa replied with an abundance of stickers for her and her friends. Earlier a small child wandered into the booth from the back while Brittanee was away as her parents were calling her I took it upon my self to turn her around back to her family, but if you're just getting back to the booth it looks like the new intern is stealing a child we had a good laugh about that one. Many of Teresa's friends showed up throughout the day to show their support and say hi I'd list them all but there's just not enough time. It was a blast and we hope to see you all at the 3rd Annual SLC fall fashion Stroll this Friday on 3rd south downtown and at farmers market on Saturday.

New intern

We have just hired another intern to make an even bigger Sleepictures family! Welcome Jonathan Diaz to the team.  He is into photography as well as other art mediums and looking to learn from "one of the best!" We are very excited we have someone tech savvy. Right now he is working on photographing Sleepictures products for Etsy. So...updated and totally rad etsy page coming soon. 

ps. a group shot will be happening soon as well.

Loft for rent

Sleepictures is still looking for a space. After months of looking we found this beautiful urban loft in downtown Salt Lake. We are looking to share the space! The space has exposed brick, large windows, kitchen/bathroom and parking in the heart of downtown which makes this an ideal commercial work space for designers, architects, photographers, artists etc. We're looking for someone that has a similar vision and wants to create an artistic hub. Check out the craigslist add for more details and please contact Teresa if you or anyone you know is interested!

 

 

Hello, blog world.

Sleepictures is an artist based company that sells accessories and apparel created using Teresa Flower's  artwork. It is a very unique and fun product line and has been placed in small boutiques in the West including Doe on Haight Street in San Francisco. Some history for you...Sleepictures started in 2001. Teresa started becoming well known for her photography and started putting her images in belt buckles. She is the founder of The Womens Art center, in Salt Lake City. Then Teresa's products took off. Health issues came into the picture but she continued to focus on her products and Sleepictures has been growing ever since. If you would like to know more about Teresa, Gavin from City Weekly wrote a wonderful article about her that you can read here.

Check out the Sleepictures website...

My name is Brittanee Taylor, and I am doing an internship for Sleepictures. I am an artist as well, and got this opportunity to see what it's like on the business side of being an artist. I can't believe how much work it is! I do everything from calling high-end boutiques in California to send their buyers linesheets, to setting up booths at events or art fairs, to emailing, emailing, emailing, to making necklaces. I'm also meeting more people than I ever thought I would in the art community. We are based out of Salt Lake City and have quite a few events coming up, and I will be posting them soon. 

ps you can add Sleepictures on Facebook!
