interview, sketches & skulls

There's a super sweet little interview with me over at warholian.com. Thanks Mike Cuffe for the beautiful pictures of my studio! (it's usually not so tidy..)

 

You can kinda get an idea of the layout of the space here. It's so sunny. I love it. 

 and my arm.

here are a couple concept sketches from the flight home the other night..

A bit odd, of course.

and here's your daily dose of me being a weirdo

and now i have a headache from being around too much black paint. I think.

reworking this piece..

I didn't get to finish it exactly how I envisioned, so I'm giving it another ago. For a show in London in October. More info soon.

skull girls

Happy Monday!

Just a heads up, my Etsy store will be closed for a little while. I've got a lot of work to do preparing for two upcoming shows:

September 1st - group @ Spoke Art

January - solo @ Shooting Gallery
(And for you East Coasters, I'll also be having a solo show in New York at at Wooster Street Social Club in March, where they're filming NY Ink.)

So, as always, you can buy my prints through Society6 & Eyes on Walls. Both sell larger versions of what I was selling in my Etsy, as well as t-shirts, canvases, skins, etc etc etc. So really it's better this way! :p

I am also thinking of opening up a Big Cartel shop just for originals. 

Okay.

Here is another in progress picture..

I had originally wanted to leave the wood background exposed on this, but I just wasn't feeling it. Seemed empty. Sometimes I get stuck and start really hating a piece until I do something drastic. In this case, 'drastic' meant giving her a haircut, painting the background flat black & giving her a skull on her shoulder. Sorry girl.

she also looks kinda cool in black and white

Giving her horns next.

during her makeover.
Also the other skull girl is almost done. Astrological symbols are the next step. whee!

My favorite time of day. when the sunbeams come through the windows in my studio.


That's it for now.

skull shoulders

New piece I've been working on.  Skull shoulder girl.

I've been challenging myself lately with painting hands. I don't like painting them, so I'm painting them. Ha.  

I spent the majority of yesterday glazing and just building up the skin tones. layers layers layers layers layers layers layerlisdjfks jslsdkf

I was also down in Encinitas for a couple of days visiting my family / the beach.

I was a bad girl and got sunburnt. Sorry tattoos :/

and spent some time browsing through an old Sear's catalogue. 

i want all of these hats please.

and my dagger is almost all the way healed. except the sunburn incident didn't help. 

and another lake shot for the hell of it.

back to work!!
