IAm8Bit: Sexy Beam

My boyfriend introduced me to Disgaea a few weeks ago. I haven't played yet but I watched for a bit when he made Etna cast "Sexy Beam" which is I guess a spell where she flies up into a black void and does a sexy pose, each time blasting pink atomic clouds down unto her enemies. It cracked me up and I had to do it for the video game themed art show.  It has passed but here's my piece.

Motown!

Muse-Box and Girls Drawing Girls are having another art and music event this weekend, this time with the theme of "Motown." Some of my favorite jams are from this era!  Two, in particular, are "My Girl" by the Temptations and "Please Mr. Postman" by the Marvelettes.  This was the perfect opportunity to sit and listen to each song multiple times and then draw something that summed the songs up for me.  Its one of my favorite exercises as an Artist- using rhythm and emotion as reference.  Kind of ethereal, I guess... but it's fun!

"I'm the Art Show, Deal with It" Legend of Korra!

When Avatar The Last Airbender was on the air, I was consumed with a hectic schedule being eaten up by 2-3 part time jobs, full time college courses, an internship at Second City beside earned classes and performances, and the little bits inbetween eaten up by a horrendous commute.  How I wish I had known it's beauty, and full on bending awesome-ness! Luckily, it caught up with me when one of my roommates upon coming to California was a bend head (do their fans have a term?), and it was quickly resolved!  Needless to say, I was ready when Korra was announced and even more ready to show my love when a tribute art show knocked at my door.

PixelDrip Gallery presents "I'm the Art Show, Deal with It" A Tribute to Legend of Korra art show will take place on March 23rd and 24th at Monk Space in Downtown LA. You can find details and directions here.

 

"Ticklebending!!!"

Press Paws at Gallery Nucleus!

You may not know this, but I'm very giving.  One time when I was younger, I left my shoes underneath the pew in church because I thought Jesus could use better footwear.  My mom turned me into an Indian giver, making me go back and get them!  Another time, I sneezed on someone and gave them a cold.  Yes, I'm very giving!

So when a show pops up where I can donate art for a good cause, I'm in!

Press Paws is a charity art event combining our loves for video games, art and animals.  It all happens February 9th at Gallery Nucleus in Alhambra.  I love this gallery, and I'm so excited to be a part of this show!  All proceeds raised will go to Whats Up Dog LA.  (Yay! Doggies!)

Here's a little peek- or rather a full, off kilter view of my contribution...

It's one month away.  Time to get excited, uh- now.

Chocolate and Art - This Friday!

I'm pretty excited to be participating in the "Chocolate and Art" show- my first opportunity to gallery in LA! Other lovely artists like this chickie here will be showing and selling their art.

There's a chocolate fountain, too. I know, I know. The first thing I wondered was if it was an installation, too. No! It's real and you can eat from it, apparently! You, too, can eat from this fountain wonder and see these three new oil paintings of mine...





It has been awhile since I've done oils, so it was definitely a nice break from pencil and computer!

"Chocolate and Art" show, Monk Space, Los Angeles, nude people (for art's sake, of course), music, 21+, free parking, $5 cover, and other information you can find here!
