Space and Time Trifecta!

I did a new drawing for a really fun show over at ZaPow! gallery in Asheville: Space and Time Trifecta; ZaPow takes on Star Wars, Star Trek and Dr. Who, opening Friday April 5

Sounds awesome right? wish I could be there to check the show out, but I do have a piece in the show! I took on a popular Star Trek character. Check it out!

I knew I wanted to draw Uhura but I figure everybody else was going to draw her too--she's a groundbreaking character and the actress who played her in the original series, Nichelle Nichols is an inspirational, groundbreaking woman so it felt right (and she has an asteroid named after her!!!)  I was doing some research and found old Star Trek comic books and knew what I wanted to do :) Hope you like it and if you are in Asheville check out the show! I really wanted to do a Dr. Who piece and a Star Wars piece but like always time got away from me. Maybe I'll work on those as well anyway.

Dia De Los Muertos at ZaPow!

Haven't had much time to do new work and update the blog unfortunately, but check out the Dia de Los Muertos show at ZaPow gallery in Asheville, North Carolina on October 5. The show will run from October 5th to November 18th. In addition to my usual prints, framed art and pocket mirrors, I will have my framed Day of the Dead pin up girl on display for the show. Need a friendly reminder?

I wish I was in Asheville to check out the show, as there will be lots of awesome art on display, as well as an opening reception on October 5 with free beer, sugar skull painting, and palm reading! Being in NYC I can't go, so go check it out for me :p

Zombie valentine for ZaPow! Gallery

I recently completed an actual oil painting! Painting has always been the thing I have been the most passionate about as far as creating art goes. I took to it in art school and tried to continue but its very difficult to oil paint when you have no studio space. I live in a very small studio apartment and cannot set up any space to paint so when I do, its at my tiny kitchen table and that isn't conducive to oil painting at all. Anyway, I made do with what I have and I do like the way this turned out. The colors are a little off but its pretty accurate.
I created this painting for a gallery I have some artwork in called ZaPow! they are located in Asheville, NC and they focus on comic art, illustration, etc which is a perfect fit for me! They are having a show called Zombies and lusty ladies. If you find yourself in the Asheville area of NC, visit ZaPow! and maybe buy this lovely painting :)
I will definitely be doing more paintings in the future to sell in my etsy store.
