YEAH

Can you buy me this?

STICK ME FOR MY PAPER

          What you didn't see: The "San Jo" woodburned repeatedly into the edges of this piece. It's key. :)  Dimensions 9" x 9",  the outfit and accessories (feathered hair & sharpied eyebrows, hat) are cut out of that super thin crafting wood.  Folks keep reminding me it's not all about me, so lucky for yoooouu,  I did some reconnaissance (Googlear) and came up with these links for you to take in the whole show.

DOLLFACE

I'm cutting it close, but I'm pretty sure I'll be a part of this- burned fingers and all.  I'll post pictures later later.

M.I.S.S., has teamed up with Upper Playground to curate its first ever art show at FIFTY24LA Gallery. In keeping with our love of fashion and art, we are very excited to present “Paper Dolls”- Using the iconic paper doll as inspiration, each artist offers his or her own artistic interpretation of the woman’s fashion figure. From photographs, illustrations and paintings, there are varied expressions of the paper doll – all with the signature touches of each artist.

Irregular and Overstock

        I printed up some calendars. And once again I was lazy and didn't get a design together BEFORE i left for Mexicali. I had to rely on a resentful design team's aesthetic working New Years eve. I don't get it, I had a better quality image to work with this time but you wouldn't know it. They didn't even have the rip away "santario" calendar or a hole punch. So to recap, the calendar is of questionable design and quality. But really it's the brand you're paying for. :)

     If you'd still like one despite my horrible sales pitch and transparency. They are $12 (cause I'll feel bad charging more) flat rate, free shipping and I'll sign, draw, circle my birthday on it whatever you like.

Death Cheater: First Blood part II

       The second annual BENNYfit art show for Diar will be happening in a couple of hours. Go check it out, I hear the walls are packed with affordable artwork that all goes towards covering his medical expenses.  Here's my contribution, 8 x 10 inch ink/gesso/collage/pencil/glitter sketch on paper.  Click away

(VIN)CIOUS CYCLE

(My favorite Vin Scully call EVER.)

The Dodgers announced today that Vin Scully will return to broadcast the 2010 season.  That's awesome, sadly his contract will probably be the ONLY newsworthy move this off-season.  : / Stupid broken homes and paperwork. Oh, so now that Chip is out, is Vin in?

 Okay. I'm gonna share a secret with you right now...I watch(ed) entirely too much baseball and now there's proof.  At the begining of this past season, I started documenting the games I caught with a picture or screen cap of Vin Scully during his opening words or his anecdote prior to the 6th inning. I finally put together a .gif from my flickr files.  Don't judge my life or lack of one.  Let it load it the first time through and then watch it in real speed.

CYBERMONDAY

It's that time of year, I'm trying to migrate tax brackets. I slashed prices on older pieces and low balled new ones. I'll also be taking a few orders for my embroidered pan dulce pieces, made to order, so specify which pan you'd like me to stitch for you. Take a closer lurk at the merch HERE but checkout down below.  Email me for other forms of payment. Thanks!

CHUPE Y PACHANGA

I have a small piece up for auction tomorrow @ galeria's pachanga.

DRESS UP

"Chiquis, Hueso, Chencho & Little" graphite, 18"x 24" (framed)

I was on deadline for the last couple of weeks so I missed a proper halloween, post.   Here's a recent drawing that would have been relevant and in the spirit of.  I'm the cabbage patch kid with the  homemade yarn wig and the rest are the monstros I grew up with.  My cousin Danny (hueso) costume: unknown,  my brother Mario (Chencho) costume: claims he's Skeletor, and my cousin Manuel (Little) costume: old simplicity pattern krumping clown costume no one escaped. You can make out the collage part a little better here.

The boys came over the day after and I forced them to not only recreate Halloween for me but to engage in reverse trick-or-treat. Victor said he was ninja Punisher.  Marco was an uprocking Mike Jones or Mike Singletary?

Bonus: Prince Markie Dee little Isis.
