Out to Sea

"Out to Sea"

My brand new board for the latest Artists on Board Show with Art Deck Company.  ArtDeckCo brought 400+ boards designed and painted by different artists from around the world to the Salt Lake City Tattoo Convention this past weekend.  I was very excited to be a part of this and hope attendees enjoyed my pretty lady.  

Below are some close ups and some photos from the convention.  Always excited to see photos of the shows i can't see in person :)

Birdcage

This is the first skate deck i've ever painted.  I always thought skate decks were a really neat platform to paint on so i was very excited to be invited to be a part of "Artists on Board" with ArtDeckCo  I'm amazed how many awesome artists are participating and i would love to see each and every one in person.

BAC Girls

One of my newest series!  Blend Bar & Bistro in Hamilton, NJ invited me to display my art for 2 months in their awesome space.  I started this series specifically for the occasion and just loved painting them.  Had fun with the ideas and look forward to creating new BAC girls to continue the series.  They will be on display until June 28th in the bar, hopefully with some new ones before my time's up.  The middle wine girl "Victoria Vineyard" is already sold, but the two other lovely ladies are still up for sale. 

The opening party at Blend was April 30, and tons of family and friends came out to support despite the monsoon (not exaggerating!) outside.  Literally puddles/lakes up to your ankles outside!  I'm so touched by all those who came by (and those who wanted to but couldn't).  You all mean the world to me and i can't express how grateful i am to be surrounded by so many supportive people in my life :)  There will be a closing party on June 28th, hope to see you there!

Mad Moxxi

Meet Mad Moxxi.  She is for the "Video Game Vixens" section at POPcade show with POPzilla Gallery at Rothick Art Haus.  Each artist was asked to create a pin up of a video game gal on 11"x14" canvas.  Here's mine!  Mad Moxxi.  I have to be honest, i'm not quite familiar with the game.  But i know many that are and i fell in love with the look of this character.  I actually want to give her another try in the future..

Mad Moxxi is now for sale here

Piranha Pipe Invasion

"Piranha Pipe Invasion"

8"x10"

Here is my new 3D piece, sculpted with Magic Sculpt, glass eyes, and painted with acrylics.  This is my second piece for the POPcade show at POPzilla Gallery opening TONIGHT at Rothick Art Haus in Anaheim, CA.  Wish more than anything i could be there!

Piranha Pipe Invasion is now for sale here.

One-Eyed Hellgirl

"One-Eyed Hellgirl"
8"x10"

My second piece for the Hellboy 20th Anniversary Art Show, curated by Chogrin at Hero Complex Gallery in Los Angeles.  I wasn't sure how this piece was going to turn out but i am really excited with the outcome.  I love how the colors work with each other and the two glass eyes just pop.  As mentioned in my previous post, the Hellboy Art Show went amazingly.  

The show opened this past Friday, May 2.  This little lady is still available for sale at Hero Complex Gallery, she can be purchased by following this link.

Geared Up

Just wanted to make something kind of mechanical with gears and all that nonsense.  This was tough to photograph, as the background is metallic copper. 

She Makes Bathtime Lots Of Fun

I think rubber duckies get too much credit

SHE makes bathtime lots of time!

Rooted

This was part of a design for a 1EG i sketched out months and months ago.  I cut out the body and this was the outcome.  I have a thing for twisty trees so this was an instant favorite

Soochi!

I was had the BIGGEST craving for sushi for weeks, but turned down every opportunity to fulfill my sushi needs due to art deadlines and/or laziness.  So the outcome of my tortured soul during those weeks was this delightful painting. I'm in love with her hair in this one.  Don't worry, I got my sushi fix a day or so after painting this.

And now i crave sushi again.

Orange and Cream

1EG painting on wood

Doesn't get better than creamsicles in the summertime.

Soft Serve

Another new 1EG painting on wood.

No better ice cream than soft serve.

She Wore An Itsy Bitsy Teeny Weeny...

New 1EG painting on wood!  I couldn't get the song out of my head... she wore an itsy bitsy teeny weeny yellow polka dot bikini ! 

His Doll

This is "His Doll", my first glow in the dark piece ever.  For Bottleneck Gallery's "When the Lights Go Out" blacklight show opening this Saturday, March 22!  

Wish i could be there (I'll be in MD for the Art Without Borders Show) but it's sure to be an amazing show!  Above is my piece in day light.

Below is my piece under the black light.

And below here is my piece in daylight with the black light also on.  I like the contrast between each one, even this one with only the slight glow of Jack in the background. 

Equesticorn

"Equesticorn"
8.5" x 5.5"

This magical piece was fully sculpted with magic sculpt, and topped off with glass eyes and acrylic paint.  This was my practice piece in preparation for my "Golden-Eyed Empress" to see if the glass eyes would enhance or take away from the piece.  I ended up loving the glass eyes and am very excited to continue with the idea in the future!  I'm happy to say Equesticorn already found a good home where I know they will be loved and appreciated!
