Rock the Boat Don't Tip the Boat OVER!

Hey everyone..
sorry about the lack of blog that there has been recently. I hope you are enjoying your summer. But I wanted to post some pics of my newest project i just finished illustrating a Pyranha Molan kayak and i am pretty excited about the results. Since it was my first attempt at doing this i stuck with one of my favorite themes naked ladies and random house hold objects. Keep your fingers crossed that i will be getting a few more boats to do my designs on because this was a really fun interesting way to display my art to the
world. If i do any more i will keep posting pics until than here is the boat i have done...



Oh and by the way here is your happy song to make you day a little brighter.

Mustache rides 5 cents

Hey!
Just a quick up date! I have gotten a tshirt design selected for the More Collective project that will be sold at Artscape! Very exicting might I say. Its based on Baltimore mustaches! You can purchase a tshrit either at Artscape or at http://stemgraphicsprintshop.com/morecollective/ very soon! make sure to send me pics of you wearing my wear! To the Left is what the shirt will roughly look like.

So i Met the Fonz...

Hey
Just wanted to let my minimal fan base know that I have now met another one of my pop culutre inspirations Henry Winkler aka The Fonz. He was an amazingly sweet man I told him he was my graduation present which he seemed very enthused that not only did I graduate college but I traveled just to seem him for a present. HA! He signed a photo and took what he called a "prom" photo with me than he asked me to go to the prom! Awesome!

Any who while I was in Ocean City I didnt just Chum it up with Henry I also canvased the area with bumper stickers ( So HELLO! if you saw one of them and looked me up glad you are here.) And also took some great refreance of The Ocean city Gallery for an idea I have.
Oh and I am working on some SWEET cards featuring my dog Radar! They will be in block print. But Check out the sketch and see what you think!

knowledge is the key...

Hey Hon!
So I have been taking some time out to study up on Baltimore pop culture and ask some friends and family for any cool retro pics they may have from around the city for this project i am working on. FACT: The BOB-A-LOOP was a toy that was apparently produced right here in Baltimore! bet you didnt know... now you do! and in case you didnt know what this is look to the left... a Bob-a-loop. is the WAY more dangerous version of Ball in a cup. Because you see that barrel on the top solid wood... and when your flinging that thing around trying to catch it on the stick ... well lets just say i found one of these as a kid in my grandmothers house and smacked my self in the face a time or two. Any way back to the point at hand here i have been doing mucho research and have finally started some collages/ sketches here is the first of many see what you think! Oh and by the way Sorry about the giant logo on the pic but i dont want my image walking off with out me somewhere.

Just to let everyone know i am now a college graduate as of last Saturday! and thanks to my BFF Nikki for the shout out on her blog so i will do the same for her. Check out her AWESOME work at her blog...

Already on to the next project!

So I know I just did a post yesterday but I do believe I am already on to my next piece. With a project to get the word out about Maryland artists. I do believe that I may be focusing on The Enchanted Forest for those who do not know it is a fairy tale based theme park that opened in 1955 right after Disney Land YAY Maryland giving Walt Disney a run for his money. This Theme park was also featured in one of my favorite directors films "Cry Baby" (John Waters in case you didn't know.) So keep checking back for up dates on this new art I am Very excited. And in the mean time watch this Enchanted forest clip from "Cry Baby" its cool all of the things they used from the original park!

Hello.
I hope you are enjoying the warmer weather just as much as myself. Just wanted to let everyone know that PCAD's Senior show was a Hit!
Everything went off flawlessly all though i do believe my vintage dress grabbed more attention than my art at points. I actually had one nice man say " Darling the dress is gorgeous but the earrings make it!" that is the statement of the century. But mainly this post is to say Thank you to everyone and Congratulations to my fellow classmates! just one more short walk and we are done! YAY! Thanks Again! I am sure i will be posting new work ASAP!
