Not What I'm SUPPOSED to be Doing

Ya ever notice how when you're supposed to be working on something every FREAKIN' idea you have does not have anything to do with what you're supposed to be doing?



Right now I'm supposed to be working on my "Power in Numbers 2" piece but I keep finding myself completely and utterly distracted by bunnies. . .

Yes Bunny Rabbits. . . I blame Easter and the card companies turning the "celebration of Jesus dying for our sins" into a day where the cutest God Damn bunnies on the planet hop around everywhere. . .too cute in fact. . . hence the reason I've been distracted by making them EVIL.



Okay, maybe not evil. . . but definately in not very friendly surroundings.

Both of these are obvously unfinished, and hopefully will remain that way until AFTER I finish what I'm supposed to be doing. . . like a good little girl.

Two-dee Fruity (part 1, sorta)

Well, as you can see from the last two previous posts, I've been workin' on this for a while.

My boyfriend and I started talking about something we could do together. Call it bonding time, call it a melding of the minds, call it whatever you like, but we decided it would be fun to make custom guitars.







My boyfriend is a really talented guitar player and is constantly obsessing about getting new ones and customizing his old ones. So, partially to appease him and partially because it sounded like a really fun idea, the two of us decided that he'd do all the hardware work and "prepping of the surfaces" and I'd just "do my thing".

Obviously, this is our first one, and due to our total lack of originality, we decided we should call this one "Two-dee Fruity" (partially because she's a "fruits" girl and partially because my boyfriend said that it should be in honor of the fact that she's a "2-D" design, we're nerds).

Stay tuned for "Two-dee Fruity (part 2)" where I actually post the guitar all put back together again. :D

Fruits Girls

Well, recently I've been super busy and time got away from me. The last thing I wanted to post was this actually. It's part of a larger project that's VERY interesting and cool, well at least to me it is, but since I realized it's been over a month I thought maybe I should post this "color study".

I'm really very excited as I've been asked to take part in the 2nd "Power in Numbers" show over at Gallery Nucleus. Believe it or not, this is actually my first "official" invite from the gallery it's self. I got a few questions a month or so about how I go about getting gallery show's and I told people, for me, it's either sheer luck, or making things happen for myself. My first two shows were group shows where I was lucky enough to know the co-curators, my third show I literally BEGGED and showed them my portfolio, and if anyone remembers my previous "Power in Numbers" post, well, I kind of crashed that show. So it's a big deal for me to have recieved this invite all on my own. :D

So yeah, "Fruits Girls". . . been workin' on a big project just about everywhere I go: at home, at work, in the car. . . It's crazy. I was promised it'll slow down next month.

LOL, yeah right!

Back to Reality

Just a quick little ditty I've been working on for a project. I couldn't sleep tonight, so I thought I'd share.

In closeing, "After These Messages. . ." turned out far better than I could have ever imagined in my entire life. It was by far the most enjoyable night of my life, to date, and I'm truly endebted to everyone involved. I'm still in shock that there were nearly 800 people that passed over Nucleus's threshold at one point during the evening and checked out all the artwork on the walls. That's definately one of many great memories from the night I'll keep with me always. :D

Be There, or Be SQUARE!!

Okay first out, a HUGE shout out to my Homie Jeaux for all of his AWESOME promotion skills for the "After These Messages. . ." show happening over at Gallery Nucleus this weekend! Not to mention all the AWESOME Promotion being done by Cristina Paulos, Brianne Drouhard, Miss Mindy, and all the other artists involved in the show (and their significant other's like Specks)!!

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.)
