"Inside Specially Marked Boxes"

As you've probably guess, this is my piece for "After These Messages. . .", which you can see February 10th, over at Gallery Nucleus.

After These Messages. . .

Okay ya'all here's the flyer and the information for the "After These Messages. . ." Show at Gallery Nucleus.

February 10, 2007 - March 6, 2007
Opening: Saturday, February 10 , 2007
7pm - 11pm

There will be refreshments in the form of drinks and CEREAL (soy milk will be provided for the lactose intolerant ;} )!! Come out and see all the fun work that all the artists have been working hard on.

Please check out Gallery Nucleus' Event Page for a full list of artists participating in the event.

I've noticed if you click on some of the links on the Event Page that some of the artists have started posting their pieces on line. With in the next week, keep checking blogs, websites and even MySpace for more work from the artists popping up for a preview of the show.

The Bunny-Bumble Pig

I had an hour or so to kill while I was waiting for approvals today so I thought I'd draw the Bunny-Bumble Pig. . .



. . . He's bringin' me some chocolate cause it's been a long day. Now I go home and sleep. :)

Technical Difficulties

Okay so in my attempt to grow up and become a big girl, I've started the process of making my website, Boogervampire.com , stand on it's own two feet. Recently, Fadedcamel, the collective I used to be a part of decided to go it's separate ways and I realized it was time for me to make the leap and take Boogervampire.com into my own hands.

Basically, what I'm trying to say is that I just transferred all the fancy info over into my own name, so if you encounter problems over the next couple of days, with my blog or my site, just gimmie a little while to get all my images back up and working again.

(*Image above is from a Google search. I have not now, or ever broken my leg, although I did twist it REALLY bad during a soccer game in high school. That wasn't pretty either.)

All Emotional

Okay. . .


So a few months ago I mentioned trying to organize a gallery show, and for the artists that are IN THE SHOW, and have actually discovered this blog, here's a heads up. . . GET TO WORK AND STOP PROCRASTINATING!! Yeah, YOU!! You know who I'm talking too. . . don't make me send out my flying monkies!

I quickly threw this together the other night 'cause I was worried that the flyer didn't get done in time. Fortunately for me I stayed up all night for nothing. But I am a devout student of the "better safe than sorry" school.

As it gets closer to the actual date of the opening I'll post all the information as well as the official flyer for the show. Quite honestly, I was kinda half impressed with the Carebear cousin and wanted to flaunt it. :)

Happy NEW YEAR!!

Hey All!!

Just wanted to take the opportunity to wish everyone the best in the New Year!



AND since it is a new year I thought it would be the perfect day to unveil the NEW and IMPROVED Boogervampire.com! As you may or may not have guessed, the last two little illustrations posted here on the blog were for the new site's layout.

Hope you enjoy it and find the site navigation easier and more appealing than the past versions. (Maybe now I can leave the site alone for a while and focus on other more important things.)

As I said in my Christmas post, I've been pretty productive lately, with revamping the site as well as finishing a painting for my parents and trying to finish a painting for my cousin that's been taking me almost half a year to complete (I am glad to say that my cousin's piece is VERY close to being completed). SO, I thought I'd post some of the work!



This was the painting I finally finished for my parents. It's a Windigo who's hypnotized a raccoon into stealing Valentine's day candy. Below is a close up of the Raccoon. I barely got this to Seattle. If I hadn't wrapped it in bubble wrap and paper twice it would have been destroyed for sure. It's 12" wide and 36" long, my largest painting to date!



Next is a little swimmer girl I've actually had in my head since last June, and was originally what I wanted to create for the Power in Numbers show at Gallery Nucleus. Unfortunately I couldn't get it out of my head until I was on the plane on my way up to Seattle. Fortunately my paints were already at my Parent's house, so I was able to bang this little baby out in some spare time. I was told, with extreme emotion, that I'm not allowed to give this piece away. . .Because Carlos likes it too much. I've given every other one away, so this time I figured I'd let him have his way. :)



Finally, if you'd like to see more of my vacation pics, in case you're sitting bored at work trying to decide if you want to pry your eye's out with your pencils or rot you're brain on meaningless internet surfing, you can click HERE for more Boogervampire fun!

Once again, Happy New YEAR everyone!!
