with all that has been happening lately, i completely forgot that i had taken these lovely pictures of the salisbury festival that took place almost a month from now.
shame on me, because it was a fun time that i really wanted to share! there was much to do - lots of local vendors, including artists, carnival-style rides and food, and live music. there was even a craft beer tasting somewhere at the festival, but my friends and i didn't manage to stumble on it.
i met erick sahler (pronounced "sailor"), a local eastern shore-based graphic designer and screen printer who owns Erick Sahler Serigraphs. a serigraph, as he says on his website, is a "fancy word for a silkscreen art print." his artwork is all original and limited-edition, and he was a lovely person to talk to as well!
i really gravitated towards his style of art - modern, colorful, and wonderful homages to places all around the eastern shore of maryland. he's even done serigraphs featuring my school (now alma mater, i just realized!), Salisbury University! if you get a chance to click over to his website, you won't be disappointed.
these pictures were taken in Cake Art, a local cupcake bakery. they weren't necessarily part of the festival, but it was hard for me to not stop in! the red velvet cupcakes were calling me in...
i didn't catch the name of this band, but i loved the drummer's look :)
and me enjoying a lemon stick - a peppermint stick stuck in a lemon. the idea is to suck the lemon juice through the peppermint stick like a straw. it took some time for the lemon juice to eat through the peppermint stick, but it was quite tasty when it did!
all in all, the salisbury festival was good fun.
{and btw - when i get a hold of my graduation pictures, i'm definitely going to post some!}
