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!
You can check out my profile and if you are in the Bay Area and would like to go; you can buy tickets that are located on my RAW profile!
Details: June 20th,2013 // 8pm-12 // 21+ // Cocktail Attire (no jeans/caps/etc) // $10 advance/$15 at the door

I have actually started to sketch the new pieces i want to showcase! Adding a whole bunch of film inspirations! Im so excited! :)

 

monday favorites

Most of the time Mondays are pretty busy for me. So doodling and such doesnt happen often but i will try to squeeze in a little Pinterest since im on the computer all day! SHHHHHH! haha. I thought of something cool i can do every Monday from now on, how about "Monday Favorites"? I could show you some of the things im eyeballing! If there are any food or DIY's i will try to even do my own! Here are some of my favorites from today!
 
Gingerbread Pecan Almond Butter: i mean, really? The only one i have ever tasted was the one from Trader Joes and it was SOOOO GOOD! I cant wait to make this! 
Invisible Cookie Dough Ice Pops: these are definitely getting made once i buy a ice pop mold! These ice pops are made with Almond milk! how delicious does that sound? Try it!
Mini Spiced Chicken Burger w/ Mint Greek Yogurt: This looks and sounds so healthy! I been trying to eat a lot healthier and Pinterest has so many good recipes, im definitely going to make this!

Tell me some of your favorites!!


currently listening to

 When i listen to a certain genre, band, album, singer, etc. I get obsessive and wont listen to anything else for MONTHS. Below are my five top listens, pretty much what i have been listening to NON-STOP.
 1. Seth Macfarlane: i am a huge fan of Seth and when i heard his album "Music is Better Than Words" i simple fell in love with him more than ever. I have not stopped listening to it and i recommend it. He is probably my favorite singer in this whole entire world. haha.
2. Frank Sinatra: i mean who doesnt love him. Frank has always been one of my absolute favorites and ever since i started listening to Seth Macfarlane i wanted to broaden my Big Band obsession, what better way than to listen to Frank.
 3. Benny Goodman: well, not sure if you can tell.. but Im pretty obsessed with Big Band music and theres no other way to get in touch with the genre than to listen to the king of Big Band.
 4. Randy Newman: huge fan of movie scores, especially Disney & Pixar ones. One of my favorite composers is Randy Newman and i felt that since Monsters University's coming out soon, listening to Randy has made me more excited! Not to mention, inspired!

5. Happy Body Slow Brain: ok, so HBSB may not be in the Big Band range, but ever since i saw them live in January i pretty much have been listening to them non-stop. Pretty insane, but trust me when i say.. YOU GOTTA LISTEN TO THEM.

What have you all been listening to? Any Big Band recommendations? or any bands/music in general?





 

may day, may day





























This month i vow to SKETCH more!

Disney Couples

So i am ALWAYS inspired by Disney and decided to use Disney couples as the base of my drawings lately. I recently whipped up a drawings of Roger and Jessica Rabbit, Carl and Ellie Fredricksen and Ariel and Eric.
All three prints are available in my store! Are there any Disney couples in particular that you want to see a drawing of? Please leave a comment and let me know :)
