Art Lately : Shop Update
i FINALLY got to update my Etsy Shop, guys! You can find these brooches listed along with a new Ned The Pie Maker print! i will be adding more things during the week! x
stay tuned..
OUTATIME
added a new print to shop! BACK TO THE FUTURE! BTTF is my favorite movie, ever (first one being my very favorite)! i cant even tell you how many times ive seen the trilogy. i remember one summer, i slept over my cousins house and all we did was watch BTTF. no joke, after it was over, we started it over from the beginning. this went on, everyday.. morning to night. haha. crazy kids, huh!? ;) but anyways, i have been wanting to make BTTF art to add to my shop but havent had much time. usually nights before a day i have to work all day, ill go to bed super early. but my mind was just in creative mode and i really wanted to get this one done and added to my shop! so i went to bed at 1am =/ which i kind of regret because i only got 4 and half hours of sleep and im currently at work fighting to stay awake. on top of that i have work at the coffee shop until 9ish pm. im only complaining at the fact that i need sleep. and food. other than that.. i really like how my BTTF print came out. its super simple but i think its quite fun! hope you guys like it too! you can get it here!

Art Lately
i really wish i could say that i have new art lying around. but i dont. and that makes me really sad. in fact, im actually behind on custom orders so creating new art is going to take a while. i knew that time was going to be very limit once i started my second job but not only that, it has made me super exhausted. when i get home from a full day of work (7:30am-9:45pm) all i want to do is EAT, read a comic or watch a 30 minute tv show and go to bed. haha. this is where i really have to try to get stuff done when im not working at the coffee shop. energy is much needed!!! so, anyone waiting for their custom order, thank you for being so patient with me. also, to everyone and anyone! i have this coupon code for 10% off orders over $5+ that sends to your email when you purchase from my shop. in case you havent been getting it, its: ROSA10. ;)
happy shopping! x

12 Pubs of the Golden Mile
Yesterday i had this idea of adding all the 12 pubs from The Worlds End into one drawing. i started off with something else, threw it away, then came up with this. it was probably one of the most funnest drawings ive ever done. i loved trying to figure out where to put each pub! i think the hardest one to add was the Cross Hands but an idea sparked later on! im pretty satisfied with it! :) i have been wanting to create more Cornetto art and im real happy with this one. now if only i had the guts to ink it. im so afraid ill mess it up =/ haha.
12 Pubs of the Golden Mile:
1. The First Post
2. The Old Familiar
3. The Famous Cock
4. The Cross Hands
5. The Good Companions

DIY: Fan-girl brooches
Heres my little DIY tutorial on the Magneto brooches i made! I really hope you guys make some of your own because i would love to see them! Before i begin, please excuse the bad lighting and my disgustingly chipped nails. haha. This is an easy DIY with 10 steps! enjoy..
YOU WILL NEED:
e6000 glue
heart wooden piece(s) (or any size of your desire)
a pencil
mod podge (Michaels)
bar pins
picture(s)
paint brush
x-acto knife
cutting mat
1. choose your picture(s)! i found Fassy photos i liked, scaled them to smaller sizes and printed them out onto basic white paper.
2. grab a wooden piece and find that exact part of the photo you want. (tip: trace from the back. i used light to measure exactly where i want to cut).
3. after you have found it, trace it!
4. after you have traced it, brush on Mod Podge to the wooden piece.
5. carefully place on to the traced area of the photo (from the back).
6. smooth out the image onto the wooden piece.
7. use x-acto knife to cut around the wooden shape. if you dont have a cutting mat, you can use a piece of cardboard.
8. it should look like this!
9. once you've cut off the excess, brush on Mod Podge over the image to seal it. let dry for about 10 minutes.
10. after it has dried a little, turn it over and add a drop of E6000 glue then attach bar pin! let the glue dry for at least 24/hrs before using your brooch :)
TADA!! these were so much fun to make! :) im currently making more for my friends and i. if you end up making your own, please let me know in the comments so i can see! This particular project would be so much fun for a Girl's Night In party with any movie involving Fassy, Hiddles, Pegg or really any man you fancy! ;)

Sneak Peak - brooches
yesterday was kind of a rough day for me. i had a huge migraine and was in bed alllll day. even though i was in pain i felt like i had to do something. like, creative. so i started creating brooches. i have been wanting to start them up again for a while now, so why not! you can find my other handpainted brooches in my Storenvy shop: Pretty Clementine. im thinking of switching everything in there to my Etsy shop but im not so sure yet. i think these current brooches will be added there for now. the brooches above: pizza (because i love pizza), Louise and Tina from Bobs Burgers & the EW! from Jimmy Fallons Tonight Show sketch.
i wanted to create brooches that were things that i fangirl over. MOVIES! i decided to created brooches with quotes! one of my favorite things to do is quote movies. haha. ive been creating some from my favorite films. above: "im your density" from Back to the Future, "meet me in montauk" from Eternal Sunshine from the Spotless Mind. "scotchy, scotch, scotch" from Anchorman. "lets boo boo" from The Worlds End. "what the cuss!" from Fantastic Mr. Fox. i have a ton more from movies like Star Trek and Nacho Libre. haha.

Sketch Tuesdays
If you live in the Bay Area and love art.. I suggest you get your booty to the next Sketch Tuesdays! I found out about Sketch Tuesdays through one of the artist I met at the Benefit for Jamie Baker. Sketch Tuesday is held once a month at 111 Minna Gallery in San Francisco. A bunch of local artist are invited to create and post their work and sell them (similar to the benefit). While there last night I found out that anyone can pretty much sketch (just cant sit in the "invited" area) haha. so im hoping to get to draw next time I attend! :)
I had such a great time! everyone was just so chill, drinking a beer, meeting different artist, buying art and just having a good time. I got to purchase art from 3 different artist! Josh Thurman (Mummy with the Mustache), Ben Walker (a caricature of ME) and Donta Santistevan (R2D2 print and Coffee Cup print). I also snagged a *free* drawing and I wish I could remember who the artist was =/
You can find out more info and when the next Sketch Tuesday is -- here!
Hope to see you there! :)

Mary & Max
My inspiration for Animation comes from a handful of different things. One of them being, films. Heres a film that I want to talk about and also recommend to you all. Its a Clay-Animation film called Mary and Max.
Mary and Max - is about a young 8 year old named Mary Daisy Dinkle who lives in Australia and a 44 year old man named Max Horowitz who lives in New York City. Mary and Max become friends through letters and through two decades they share each others lives. Im not going to lie, I cry at the end, every time. =/ Im not giving anything away. haha. I actually found out about the film while stumbling through Netflix a year ago (the film came out in 2009). I was looking for something good to watch and the cover for Mary and Max intrigued me. I started reading the reviews and was a little hesitant when I read some saying "not recommended for children". I was like, "what? but its an animation film. I wonder why?". But I read on and the reviews seemed to be good so I gave it a watch.
While watching it I understood why it isnt recommended for children. the humor for one. second, the film has more of an "adult" like fashion. Meaning, it talks a lot about things that adults would mainly understand. Quoting Wiki - "The film deals with themes including childhood neglect, friendship, the obscurity of life, teasing, loneliness, autism (Asperger syndrome in particular), obesity, depression and anxiety."
When I first saw the opening of the film.. music playing while the camera takes shots of the Claymation hometown of Mary.. I think I shed a tear. Other than the story being incredibly good, the Animation itself is breathless. I have an obsession with Claymation. I think it just amazes me how much detail and craftsmanship is put into it. I could actually just watch the film with no sounds and still be satisfied. I like that NYC and Australia are both set in different tones. Max is set in a black and white tone while Mary is set in a more earthy tone. Max is more of this depressed person with anxiety which I think the tones match well and Mary is this sweet little girl with a more lighter tone.
I hope you all take the time to watch this film. Im not sure, but i think its still on Netflix. Or just buy the film, i promise, you wont be disappointed ;) haha If you have any Claymation film recommendations for me, please comment and let me know!
thanks for reading!!

hello all! has it been a week since my last post? woopsie. I have been pretty busy getting some illustrations done, I have not had the time to blog =/ I also missed Animation Talk Tuesday last Tuesday.. but I will have something up tomorrow :) anywho, I figured today would be a good day to bring up my new website (& domain). I have actually had a website for quite sometime but recently created a new one to showcase more of a portfolio. Its still in the works but im pretty thrilled about it.
my domain has changed from rosaclementine.com to rosadelosreyes.com. You can find pages full of my work (with more to come). I still have a lot of organizing to do. You will also see both my shops added. Im in the process of transferring all my prints and paintings to my new Etsy shop (rosadelosreyes.etsy.com) and keeping all the brooches and crafty work in my Storenvy shop (prettyclementine.storenvy.com). hoping people wont get confused but im doing things one step at a time. haha.
hope you guys take a look at the new website.

JP Vine
its Animation Talk Tuesday! i wanted to start this topic for quite some time now! Couple years ago i started a Tumblr called "Animation Talk" but didnt exactly take it seriously. haha. i think i did like two post and that was it. Well, im starting it now (again). Thursday nights Benefit for Jamie Baker pretty much inspired this to be. I was surrounded by incredibly talented professional artist, that it was kind of a slap in the face. like, a wake up call! My dream of all dreams is to become an Animator of some sort ;) so, this year im going to be cracking down and learning everything there is to know about it and finding inspirations from anything and everything! Here comes the nerdiness guys! haha. I hope you all find inspiration in this!
Today, lets talk about JP Vine.
JP Vine is an Animation Director and Designer who currently works as a Story Artist at Pixar Animation Studios. I first found out about him from Thursday nights benefit! His drawings caught my attention, I mean they were mermaids! ahh! Not only that but the fact that his drawings still looked amazing with his "bad hand" was pretty neat. I became a little stalkerish and was actually watching him draw a little >.< When I discover a new artist to add to my list of inspirations, I get a little bit nerdy and go animation stalker crazy. that being said, did you watch the short film above? I found it on his YouTube page! You can find more on there, as well as a 2D Animation tutorial!
What I find so inspiring about JP Vine is.. 1.) the fact that hes so helpful to aspiring animators and illustrators! I *liked* his FB Page and found his helpful tips for applying for Pixar. *thank you JP*. I jotted down notes for when I apply to any animation studio in the future. 2.) his work makes me want to cry a little. In a good way! haha. his work is absolutely fantastic! his designs and drawings.. *drool*. take a look for yourself... *HERE*
My favorite of his work has got to be his Life is Story series!
I hope you enjoyed reading a bit about JP Vine!
Hope you tune in for next Tuesday! :)
