November WIP

I've been thinking a lot about what my next move 

is going to be. There are two projects I really want to finish

before the end of December. One is top secret, 

and the other will be revealed in the next week or so.

Dulce de Leche has been rehearsing for a gig we have next wednesday.

I'll post details in a bit.

Sketches of November

I've finished both the paintings for November and December,

and I'll be posting the November Giveaway quite soon.

Here is the "dead layer".

oops...

The winner of my October giveaway was Kim.

I completely forgot to announce it :/

But to be fair, Kim already received her prize, and 

everyone else entered in the giveaway

knew she won because my mom told them.

In other news, my art show couldn't have gone better!

I'll go into more detail once I sort through the photos Esau and José captured.

I also promise to show you some last minute art I made for my show.

all in good time my friends. Fine. can't wait?

Here's a peek.

KILLSONIC's big adventure

As I told you weeks ago (before I was caught up in a tumult of chaos),

KILLSONIC was invited to play the closing reception

of Tim Burton's exhibit at LACMA. It was awesome.

 Number one, we were able to see the exhibit. for free. yay!

Number two, we got to play a pretty huge sold out event hosted by KROQ.

Number three, I think it was one of our best shows. energy wise.

Number four, They had gift bags filled with candy :) mmmmm.

Here are some of my favorite photographs taken by Esau Rosales.

(p.s. He would probably kill me for using some of his "un-edited"

pictures on my blog...so, sorry Esau).

 This is my favorite photo of the bunch.

Erica just looks so classic and ghostly.

 Me, applying the carpet skeleton cutout on to Luis' eye.

From the moment we got to LACMA I was cutting and 

gluing these onto everyones eye. It took FOREVER.

Thankfully, Taryn was there to do the make-up part.

 green room snacks.

 Second favorite photo. Bryan, me, and José

 walking.

 Is that a real security guard? or a costume? (far left)

 playing.

 Andy Ben looks sooooo intense! 

 Love the composition of this one. 

 We (the drum section) had so much room to play around in (a very rare situation)

 I think the make-up came out pretty great for all the drama that surrounded it. 

The  black tulle was a nice complement.

 PrincessFrank. Profiled.

 We all died in the end. well, at least for a full five minutes.

On the rooftop. From left to right,

AK, me, José, Bryan and Andy.

Save the date!

For the past few weeks, I have been quietly painting the nights away.

I have one painting left to finish and a few drawings I'd like to do

Before my art show (which is November 11th by the way!)

Is it realistic? maybe. I hope so. 

I finished making the flyer today, now all I have to do is print them.

October Giveway!!!

What is your favorite scary movie?

p.s. mine is Trick 'r Treat. José and I watched it last Halloween,

It's become a tradition:)

Secondhand Haunts

I collect frames. I think I've said that before?

I collect frames and paint pictures, and put my art work in them. 

Sometimes, while hunting for frames, I come across a mirror

I just can pass up. These are a few small ones i have creeping up 

my wall lately.

From top (counter clockwise)

1. Italian gold mirror $6.00 from Ron's? I feel so embarrassed...

I don't know the name of his shop! oops, I'll have to find that out.

I just have to say, that Ron (the shop owner) is the greatest.

He knows everything about every single one of his antiques.

2. Black iron mirror $1.50 from Council Thrift Shop

3. Brown beaded mirror $5? (I cant remember) from 

Council Thrift Shop.
