The finished result

Taken by my new camera no less!

SHOW OFF!

EDIT! PLEASE READ!

Um...just curious, should we try to meet at Fraggle's Beer Revolution this Sat (the 6th) at about 3:30 pm? I want to get there at a time when he's not busy with a lot of customers.

If this doesn't work then maybe it would be a good time to catch him at around 12:30 on Sun (the 7th) afternoon (he opens everyday at 12pm, except mondays), when I know he wont be busy.

Ok this weekend didn't work, but I'm free Wed afternoon and Thurs all day. Victor is down, does anyone else want to tag along?

Needlepoint Luna Moths

Hi Tamales,

I just wanted to update you on what I'm currently working on. I still need to post my newest koi painting, but in the meantime, I thought I'd show you my needlepoint luna moths. I wanted to see if I could make something 3-dimensional out of needlpoint other than the flowers I've been making for my needlpoint fish pond. I sketched the layout on old graph paper first, composing the wings and body. The top two wings are one piece and the ones underneath are two separate pieces. I then bought some fuzzy pipe cleaners from Michael's and stitched them onto the body.

I made these moths for my Creative Process class. I'm supposed to display them somewhere on campus, so I'm hanging them off of tree trunks.

Enjoy! :)

SHOW OFF!

Alrighty folks, my friend Fraggle (yes thats his name....or at least he wont tell anyone his real name so...) has just opened up a store/bar in downtown Oakland called BEER REVOLUTION. He is currently looking for any kind of free advertising so I mentioned having an art show for us TAMALES! This is a win win situation if we can pull it off, we get exposure and he can draw in people. This place does get busy in the evening time, so that means people will see the work.

I would like to get some feed back on this from you guys and when things get serious we can (all?) take a trip down there to check out the space and talk with Fraggle in person. Let me know what your guys think!

Painting update

These are some shots of the new painting I"m working on. I'm trying to portray childhood as you all know but this time tension lies in the composition.

Mannequins

I went on a field trip for digital photograpy to 49 Geary to see some galleries and take a bunch of shots around Union Square. My professor wanted us to capture the reflections of buildings. We came across these mannequins in a display window and I thought they were interesting, so I took some shots incorporating some of the reflections. Later, I fixed them up with photoshop. Enjoy! ;)
