Floral Pattern: Yes?

Music: Major Tom (Coming Home) by Shiny Toy Guns
TV Show: Community

I recently did a "technology update" which just means that I updated my website and revamp parts of it since the six months I have been inactive (it's so horrible; everything is so outdated). There wasn't any new art to add since many of them are still in the making but regroup some parts of the gallery and I did add a little photography section, which consist mostly of the photos I took for Teaa's Flowers and something for my mother. I wouldn't consider myself a photographer but I taken pictures every so often as a hobby.

This is the one taken from my mother's garden if you were wondering...
from her Delia plant.

Since we are on the topic of flowers, there was a period in time when floral prints were super popular and people, primarily females, used them for everything. In the 90's, most of the swimsuits in department stores were covered in them and they were really cool back then. Every sweater and blouse that we would now consider tacky were splatter with a hodge-podge of these floral patterns. These bright, color clashing shapes were everywhere and then people thought that they were lame and it became a thing in the past. Only grandmas sport them. Anyways, I think they are coming back. I keep seeing product labels floral patterns. It's like they are trying to over thrown the minimalist movement or something.

I would say more about it but I'm too busy rummaging through my aunt's old sweaters bin from the 90's. They better be coming back or else I'll be the only one looking awful for the next couple of months.

1st Gallery Show

Current obsession: Jason Isaacs
Music: Disney & musicals

I deeply apologize for not updating in so long. This blog is undergoing some major changes. First off, I reformatted the entire layout. The background image is taken by me for Teaa's Flowers. The colors were so lovely and vibrant that I ended up with a theme based around it.

I had my first gallery show on Saturday, October 22nd. It was curated by Elena Katz and feature works many young established artists in Chicago.  I had 3 paintings up on display. One of the pieces is brand new. It's not finished to the point in which I would have liked for the show but I ran out of time (after a full week of nonstop painting too). The piece is called Cinderella and it will be finished by the time for my good friend/fellow artist, Joy, and my next show. Here is sample chunk of art thus far:

The full image will be a surprise.

It was pretty awesome to see all the people that showed up in a mere 3 hrs. I almost sold one of my old editorial pieces, "Homeless House;" however, the buyer changed his mind last minute. The piece almost didn't make it to the show. I am happy either way because it shocks me to see that people actually enjoy and appreciate my artwork.
