RAW San Jose Showcase

If you keep up with my post, you already know that i had a showcase couple weeks ago. Well, i finally put a little collage of pictures together from that night. It was seriously so much fun and i was so happy i sold some prints! That paid for my share for the water bill, yay bills! not! haha.
The lighting isnt that great since it was pretty dark in there with a bunch of neon red and blue lights, haha. But still happy my friends decided to snap some shots!

If you would like to be apart of the RAW experiance, click here, and see if they one in your town or near your town! I did one in San Francisco two years ago and hopefully (if) i ever move down to L.A. i hope to do one there!



 



Theres always money in the Banana stand

Is anyone else an Arrested Development fan? That show gives me so much feels. haha. Im a huge fan so that pretty much inspired this sketch. Since my art show is coming up in about a week, im thinking of creating new pieces based on my favorite tv shows and movies. Im pretty excited and i will try to post some photos and more sketches throughout the process.
Here are some ideas i have so far:

• Arrested Development
• Vampire Diaries
• Mindy Project
• Gilmore Girls
• Hot Fuzz
• Back to the Future
• Hearts in Atlantis

So thats what i got so far and will try to whip something up tonight. Im also thinking of adding a bunch of old Hollywood film inspirations. I will have to go through and see which films i want to do! yay! :)

 

Paintings

 

 

 

I recently began painting new pieces for a showcase ill be participating on the 20th of June. Right now i have about 5 8x10 paintings, 1 oval wood painting and about 5 prints. seems like a lot, but it isnt! haha. Im excited to just dedicate a day to getting some pieces done! Ive been inspired by some of my favorite people on IG, movies, 1950's and Disney (of course). The second photo above was inspired by Christie Dupree. She is one of my favorite people to follow on IG and shes just super adorable. I just instantly got inspired by her gorgeous red hair and love for mint green!

Im excited to share (new) paintings and prints with you all!

 

 



I AM RAW!

Im thrilled to announce that i am having my second showcase with RAWartists. I did a showcase with them about 2 or so years ago in San Francsico but this time it will be in San Jose. Im even more exited that its in San Jose, because its 10x closer! I mean, SF isnt that far BUT at least i wont have to rush after work :) Whats so exciting about this opportunity is that i get to show the world my new pieces! My work has changed a lot from 2 years ago. I have really found who i am as an artist and have found the styles that really make me, me!

RAWartists is pretty dang cool! They search for incredibly talented (wait, am in that category? haha) folks; wether its Music, Art, Fashion, Hair, etc! They all come under one roof and share their talents! How exciting, right? Too be honest, im pretty nervous, BUT it'll be fun once the day comes!
