A play on Gustav Klimt

Here is a new piece that I did inspired by one of my favorite artists, Gustav Klimt. I love his use of patterns and textures...it always makes each piece so intricate and interesting. So, here's my attempt: Because of Him

Prints will be available in my shop as well! HERE

Yo Yo Yo-Landi Vi$$er!!!

Ok, if you haven't heard of Die Antwoord, the insanely INSANE zef rap-rave group from South Africa...then you should! I promise...whether you want to or not, you will likely become addicted to them. They're waaaaay out there and kind of like a train wreck...you can't look away!!! Give them a listen...I dare you! *DARE*

I heard of them back in January and I always wanted to do a painting of the lone female singer in the group, Yo-Landi Vi$$er. She has such a crazy cool look, I knew it would be fun painting her....and here she is:

Also, the band actually posted this image as their profile pic on their Facebook page which I thought was WICKED!!! I have 25 limited edition prints now available in my SHOP.

Art Dump!

Well, I think I will take this time to post a bunch of my latest pieces for anyone who hasn't seen my new website. 6 of the following images are from the "Art Affair and Cartoon Premiere" show that we had at La Petite Mort in the beginning of September. Check THIS blog post out for a wee write up. It was an amazing show...the place was PACKED...take a look:

The show was a ton of fun, we hope to do one again soon. Here are some of the new pieces that were in the show:

Rectopathic

Claimed

Retreat

He Loves Me Not

Caught

The Turning Away

I will have a piece in a show at Oz Kafe on October 21st as well....details to follow.

And this one I was up painting until the wee hours of the morning last night. My daughter recently got two toy stuffed rats...and this image just popped into my head. I imagine that she's heading out to a fancy dress party...and this is her favorite attire! ;)

Isis

Well, I just finished with a huge rush of work for a gallery show at La Petite Mort. I'm just waiting on some pictures of the show and then I will do a blog post about it. In the meantime, my website has been updated by my lovely husband, so please go and check it out HERE. There is a new store setup on the site with some new artwork from the show. I will be adding more items to the shop over the next week as well. LOTS to do!

Also, here's a quick painting that I did last night while having a few beer, her name is Isis.
