Some more recent Neopets junk.

Devil's Food Cake

Okay so here's my final piece for Gallery Nucleus' Power in Numbers 2 Show. It was a semi-last-minute decision to do this one, only because when I sat down to do the icecream cone I was having an internal battle. I named all three of these pieces very Lame-ly, so to keep in theme, he got the oh so very original name of "Devil's Food Cake". Unfortunately it was so "last minute" that he didn't get finished until Potato Farm Girl came to do me the HUGE favor of picking up and dropping off my pieces at the Gallery (at which point she also named him, her idea was WAY better than mine). So I had to take a crappy picture of it. I know I'll get to scan the little bugger when the show comes down in a month, so I promise a better pic then (on my website).



Things are in the hands of time and fate right now in my normal, hectic everyday life, but here's a couple pics of life from some of the enjoyable, laid back moments. :)





Carlos and I were lucky enough to spend Easter with My Uncle Ed and Lori. We had tons of fun and we got to hang out with Bambi the baby donkey. I guess she's not really much of a baby anymore, but she LOVES Converse sneakers. :)

That would also be my nifty hair cut in all of it's wind blown glory. . . I kinda had an accident with a pair of scissors on Valentine's Day. . . 3 years of hair growth down the drain, but boy does my head feel lighter! (And YES Dad, that's my real hair color. . . but mark my words, it will be purple again soon! As soon as the bathroom recovers from the last time I died it, that is.)

Izzo has found a new spot to sleep. . . it's not very sanitary and it's really BAD, BUT when you're small enough to sleep in a frying pan. . .does the word CUTE come to mind to anyone else?

Rainbow Sprinkles

Well, I miraclously pulled this off. My second piece for the "Power in Numbers 2" show over at Gallery Nucleus next month.


I've been obsessed with the idea of sprinkles lately. I guess it's just an extension of my previous candy monsters. . . only I guess the evil sprinkles turn what ever they decorate into evil little tasty morsels.


Thought it might be fun to show these. . . I forced myself to choose between the icecream cone or the piece of layer cake. . . obviously the icecream one. I personally love the sketch more. I always seem to loose a little life when I try to recreate them. :(

Sprinkles with a Cherry on Top

Here is my piece for "Power in Numbers 2" at Gallery Nucleus next month.

Busy, Busy, Busy

Well, things have been pretty damn crazy here in Booger-land. Good news is that I FINALLY have my first day off in 3 weeks and the project at work is in Beta Testing right now and should be up for all of Neopia to enjoy on the 18th.

But since I don't like talkin' about work much on my bloggy blog, and lovely Viacom security rules prevent me from telling too many goodies to psycho Neopets fans, I'll move on to personal work.



Tonight, actually, I'll have a painting in ISM Magazine's April Gallery show "Friends of ISM" down in Costa Mesa, CA. I'm really excited to have the opportunity to be in another show, and even more excited to be in my first show out side of Gallery Nucleus.


With work being as crazy as it has been recently, and not recieving the invite into the ISM show until a week before the show deadline, I had to submit and older piece. But both the piece and I are very happy to have it be seen outside of my kitchen. :D

In case you're wondering, it's name is ultra super complex. . . "Gummies" and it's 12" x 12" streched canvas with acrylic. So if you can make it down to the OC, or ya live in the OC and you're very, very bored, you can come check out my painting.

Finally, I'm overjoyed to post this little ditty.


About two weeks ago we finally got "Two-Dee Fruity" put together and stringed. I don't think Carlos bothered to tune it, but just having it back together and having the first complete "Purplehearts" guitar made is very exciting. We've already got the next two planned and now that work's slowing down I can get back to having fun with the guitars.

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
