a few new artwork...

I know its not Halloween but going back and giving some of my artwork some backgrounds.

Watercolors

The past few years I have been practicing my watercolor technique. It's definitely getting better and feeling somewhat confident on what I am doing.

This year I will be bringing a few to my shows for purchase.

Last Artwork for 2016

Last year in 2015 - I ended my 2015 year with a Frida print. You can read it here.

This year I am ending 2016 with another Frida print.  She is just an inspiration to me as a woman and as a artist.

Thank you all so much for all your support. Looking forward to 2017.

Thank you 2016.

2016 year was an amazing year for shows/events. Usually I am only able to do one show/event a year but as the kids are getting older and are able to manage themselves, I find myself with more time to do my art. I am not sure how I was able to do the shows w/the family in tow. It was exhausting but my family is awesome where they were all very supportive.

I am thankful for everything and what the year has given me. Thank you all for your support this year. It was great to see familiar faces and meet new people. I feel really lucky and grateful. I know I say the same things every year but its how I feel. 

I am looking forward to 2017 and what it will bring. It maybe a much slower year or could be I end up doing more shows. Who knows! Either way I am looking forward to making more art and sharing with everyone next year. 

Here is a look back at all my shows in 2016. 

THANK YOU and hope to see everyone in 2017!!!

Pier 39 Tree Lighting Festival in San Francisco

 I will be at Pier 39 for the Tree Lighting Festival with my sponsor AT&T one last time to promote these prints below. 10 new custom prints I did for the event. It highlights San Francisco and it's beauty of the city. Again these will be a gift with any AT&T on site. The prints that are not sold will be at the Powell Station AT&T store.

Happy Halloween

It is Halloween tomorrow and now that my kids are in school - it is really busy around this time. We got costumes to figure out, parties to plan and help with. I have to go to one school for one party and rush over to help at the other school. This year I signed up to bake 3 doz cookies for my son's class. Luckily my sister in law gave me some good tips on how I can get even sizes.

Got time to fit in one last artwork for today. From one "mummy" to another "mummy"...hope all you "mummies" have good a Halloween with your family.

Something I tell my kids constantly.

Have A Nice Day!

The Witch. Can't forget her.

I always need to design a witch for Halloween. Can't forget her! 

The Devil. Happy Halloween.

I will also be making two appearances from August 6-7 from 2 -5 p.m and August 27-28 from 2-5 p.m. If you didn't get something at Comic Con San Diego - I will be at Downtown Disney!

Comic Con San Diego 2016

Comic Con San Diego 2016 was pretty amazing and tiring. I didn't go last year but was able to make it back it this year. I thought it wouldn't go so well with sales because location wise it wasn't in a great spot and it wasn't my usual spot. It turned out to be a great spot and people who have been going years - still looked for me which was pretty cool. 

This year we brought BOTH boys with us. Usually its just my husband helping me out but both my kids were there. It was tiring with the kids but they had a good time. 

Hoping to return next year for sure!

Some Love.

With all the crazy things going on with the shooting and killing - I haven't had the time to really think and reflect till now. It's really a shame that humans behave like this. It is the year 2016 and we still live in a world of hate and violence.

As a parent I have to stay positive for the sake of my children.

On the lighter and loving spirit I had the need to create some loving art. Enjoy and be nice everyone. The World needs it.

Returning to Wonderground Gallery in August!

I am honored and excited to say I will be returning to Wonderground Gallery in the Downtown Disney® District at the Disneyland® Resort for the month of August.

I will be showcasing a selection of my prints, graphic shirts and postcards all month long. I will also be making two appearances from August 6-7 from 2 -5 p.m and August 27-28 from 2-5 p.m.

In a crunch....

The past few weeks have been busy.  Along w/the kids schedule to maintain, I am trying to maintain my artwork schedule. I have a few shows coming up with Makers Faire in May, Comic Con San Diego in July and another appearance in August.

Boy oh boy am I tired. Its a good kind of tired. I feel really grateful to be home with my kids and at the same time work on my artwork.

The only way I get myself organized is w/one of these babies. Sure you can do everything on electronic calendars but call me old school - I still have the habit of writing everything down.

Here are a few more artworks I have been working on. These I would say are like my signature work/design but definitely my work has evolved and changed.
