This time it’s really a Prime episode! So, not common, but not so unusual either, Utah had a small blizzard on the 11th. The wind was so strong, it threw one of Jeremy’s compost boxes across his yard! Additionally, the bees arrived on the 11th and luckily the bees are protecting their queen. Regular bee updates will be part of the next several episodes. We discuss the problems that a snowstorm this late in the season can cause, including damage to Chris’ garden since he’s already planted the entire thing.
Julia announced that her brick and mortar for The Pleiadian Altar will be opening June 11th and 12th. She’ll begin to have regular hours, so plan on patronizing her budding business.
This week we are interviewing Allie Gore from Lunasea. This lovely person was born here in Salt Lake City. They have always loved art and it was encouraged first by a great elementary school teacher. Like Julia, Allie went to Weber State University for a degree in art education, but soon realized that world wasn’t for them. They definitely still had a love of art but not to teach it, do produce it.
After a bad breakup in January of 2021, they found the Ogden art community through involvement in the Odgen Farmers Market. Allie does a lot of Pride themed work to help others in their queer community. Allie’s family has been very accepting of them.
Their art is digital and influenced by animation and anime. Allie isn’t your normal anime fan, they are looking at the artwork and the style because that is their passion! They tell us their inspiration comes from media consumed and from that comes art prints, stickers and buttons!
Allie thinks one of the best things she’s discovered about Utah is the art and vendor community and how much she loves being a part of it. Please follow Allie in Instagram at lunasea.art.
In closing, because it’s near and dear to my heart, if you can, please adopt a dog. The doggos adopted at the beginning of the pandemic when everyone was stuck at home, are finding themselves in shelters now that they are in their teenage years and their families are back at work and school. We’re a huge fan of CAWS because we found Phoebe Rose there but Rescue Rovers, www.utah.bestfriends.org, and your local Humane Society are good places, too. There are many, many others. Make sure they are reputable and then take your new baby to Kudos 2 Kanines so you and your pet are the best family ever!
