Diamond Dust can be seen shimmering from the surface of Tara McPherson’s SOFA Con Exclusive giclée titled, The Fox’s Respite. The hardships these companions have faced dissolve in the magic of this glimmering and enchanted forest. The Fox’s Respite has been embellished with Diamond Dust, glittering transparent glass flakes applied by hand after the printing process, that creates a kaleidoscopic sparkle with a textured and luminous finish.
SOFA Con is an online art event that showcases brand-new, exclusive artwork for sale from 24 fan-favorite artists from around the world! Each artists' Sofa Con exclusive will be sold on their own respective web stores at scheduled times throughout the Sofa Con event this coming weekend.

With the creation of these murals, each area has seen a significant visual impact on the surrounding neighborhood as well as increased traffic, additional economic development, and increased safety.
The Eastern Market-based street art festival will return this fall on Sept. 13, expanding from nine days to 10 days of painting and programming – including two Saturdays for the first time. The festival also will add a block party to its roster of auxiliary events like discussion panels and cultural tours.
