This is my piece for the "Bee-Rotica" show at the Hive this Saturday.

The theme is...you guessed it. Sexy bees.

"Plaid" is such a ridiculous word.

Sketchbook monsters.

Boo!

2008-08-29T21:59:00.000-07:00

Little monster girls on paper.

I originally did 4 for the Hyaena Gallery show last March, and I coulda sworn I got scans of them all before they sold. Oh well.

I thought some of you might enjoy some fashion photography of gorgeous 60's bird Jean Shrimpton...

and if you don't, I will. She was lovely!

Here's an old one:

2008-07-10T10:05:00.001-07:00

This is a painting I had to whip out really fast because I forgot about a group show I was supposed to be in.
It took one day and two sequential viewings of Caligula. I didn't have time to scan it, because I had to rush it downtown before the paint was even dry, thinking I'd get a good scan after the show came down. But it sold HEY! Good news, but now all I have is this shitty photo.

Oh well.

2008-07-01T18:28:00.001-07:00

I got a new sketchbook! Time to start drawing!

2008-05-19T09:16:00.001-07:00

Finally, a new painting!

acrylic and pen, titleless

it's not Untitled, it title less. I'm searching for a good one. Let me know if you have one.

Too late to be wearing that rubber now, Betsy.

Ah, tradition!

Daddy asks the nurse what she's doing after her shift.

Thanks to:
Pet and her mom for the material
Mom for giving birth to me
Myself for not being a mother

Tell mom you love her today. Look what she went through!

Red carpet.

it hides the stains.

2008-02-05T19:59:00.000-08:00

This little mod girl was inspired by the movie Danger: Diabolik, which is a great movie for corny late 60's spy styles, although I made her a little more Twiggy-ish.

2008-01-07T18:12:00.000-08:00

Oh! A post not about me for once.

This is kind of old news, but my pal from art school Shant made a zombie film in one of the classes we had together and it was accepted to the Cannes Film Festival!

Here's the trailer for the movie, called The Slowww Zombie. It features other art school students. Pay special attention to the performance of the guy getting chased by the car...his name is Arree and we went to London together!

So a super late congratulations to Shant on all your achievements...they are way better than mine.
Check out his blog too! http://shanthamassian.blogspot.com/

Is it wrong to put up the Christmas presents I made for people?

For Stephen!

For JJ

For Lourdes

I did it.

2007-12-11T22:51:00.000-08:00

The Holidays fastly approach us!

Happy birthday to Josh!

My gift to him: imaginary bee sex.

I actually can't stand the foot on this. I'd really like a chance to re-do it.

This painting reminds me it's time for a haircut.

Reminder - This Saturday!

The “Black Market at Black Maria” exhibition will carry a bazaar theme, complete with some of the accoutrements of the shopping experience: paintings suspended on clothing hangers, displayed in shoe boxes and on display stands holding a variety of artworks.
The idea is to both poke gentle fun at the cosmopolitan shopping experience and, on a serious note, remind ourselves of the spiritual rewards of appreciating and owning great art. In keeping with the shopping mall theme, patrons will also be able to take with them whatever they purchase, just as they would in a store.

A painting can be as satisfying as wearing a sexy dress or owning a feature-laden barbecue, except there is an actual, sometimes life-changing meaning waiting to be derived from a work of art. Hence the subtitle of the exhibition: Skip the Mall.

“Black Market” is quintessential Black Maria, showing the work of emerging artists and established artists side by side. It is a great opportunity to see work by artists with international collectors as well as by artists who will be showing their work outside of an academic environment for the first time.

In conjunction with the exhibition, Kathie Olivas and Brandt Peters will at the gallery’s store, Under the Table, from 5:00 pm to 6:30 pm for a signing. The opening is also the official release of Kathie Olivas’ Vintage Colorway of her Benny and Red Bird vinyl figures. Both Kathie and Brandt will be signing their vinyl figures as well as prints made exclusively for Black Maria Gallery. A raffle of one of Kathie Olivas’ custom vinyl figures will be one of the highlights of the evening.

Buy my crappy art instead of crap for the people you love this Xmas!

Some girls like shoes, some like poops. I like prostitutes.

Going on now

Hallowe'en is coming soon!

It's my favorite holiday of the year!

Despite the obvious, I get to put up lots of spooky decorations and bats without being called a goth.

It's also our first halloween in our new house and we're going to decorate the living daylights out of this place! We got these awesome light up haunted mansion tombstones:

Well, there's another one but I can't find a picture of it to nab from google.

Excitement!

What should I dress as this year? I have so many ideas.

How about one of these?

I've wanted to be Bea Arthur for years, but I can never find a wig that I like...

I begged boyfriend to go as Dr. Zoidburg this year, but I failed at that, too.

I'd like to go as the girl from Les Yeux Sans Visage, because I think that's the creepiest mask ever.

Of course, I could always settle for an old favorite.
