Yes, another Mermaid post!  Since the Mermaid collab with Locketship was selling so swimmingly (HUR HUR HUR!) Miss Maria decided to take part in an amazing event, the first ever Mercon!  Yes, that’s right~ a MERMAID themed convention! I could not attend the event, but I jumped at the chance to work on a new mermaid piece to launch at the event with Locketship.  A lot of people had requested another design with a mermaid girl + her tail in the piece~  so after a bit of sketching on how to work this out so she fit cute in the circle shape of the jewelry pieces + would still be easy to see at such a small size~ I came up with this little lady:

I am really happy with how the colors came out + the fact I got that tail worked in ok! You can buy her online now through the Locketship online shop HERE in the following designs

~ ON SALE NOW!~

So anyway, Back to Mercon…  It sounded like an amazing event!  It was held in Las Vegas at the Silverton Mermaid Hotel  ( which has a 117,000 gallon Mermaid Tank! WHAAAAT!?) with vendors, fashion shows, Mermaid celebrities and the end of the day they had a really awesome mermaid pool party!  The always lovely Maria (locketship), Stephanie (Zilla), Stephiee (Dolly Beast) and Miss Bebe flew over from LA to attend the event and be adorable at the booth!

Kudos to Locketship + Mercon for the event photos! Check out the blog post by Maria on the event over at Buzznet HERE for more details and fun pics!

I love locketship jewelry!  Its absolutely amazing and really grabs everyone’s attention with its fun details and layers (I own several pieces of the unicorn collection plus the kitten collection, always so much fun to wear to shows!) So naturally I was excited to help  designer/founder Maria when she said she needed some art for a “Sparkling Sea“ Mermaid Collection!  Mermaids? Um, YES PLEASE!

I set to work right away on some mermaid girls, cute little sea creatures, and a quick logo for the collection after we discussed some basic color concepts.  We decided on some Seahorses, princess octopus, a peaceful pink mermaid, and a green/blue mermaid in coral!   ** Update! I have now added a NEW purple mermaid to the set! Post featuring the new pieces will be posted soon ♥ ***

I’m so happy with how the art came out and the final pieces look so stunning!

These are just the launch pieces!  Locketship has been expanding the set to offer more choices and different price points~

Another amazing event at Japan LA~  the theme? Bunnies and Bows!!  This event on ♥ May 7th ♥ was curated by my lovely friend Michelle aka Chubby Bunny (aka the brain behind the hello kitty bows celebs and everyone are obsessed with from sanrio 50th and the sephora) who put together this show to celebrate the launch of her new line of adorable accessories, her birthday, guest DJ, contests, Lil’ Rae Cakes, some of the best LA food trucks, free Kirin beer, and just awesome cuteness under its home-base Japan LA haha.  Really, they know how to throw a party!  The art show featured 19 artists that Chubby Bunny enjoyed, so I was super excited to be a part of the event~  other artists included Bei Escobar, Martin Hsu, Luke Chueh, Akira Ebihara, plus many other amazing people.

Lately I have started to feel like bigger is better with my art, so I have hooked up with a new giclee printer and have started to offer my gallery work as much larger wall candies.  I think a lot of detail sometimes gets lost in my smaller pieces, so to see it nice and big is really amazing~ plus a girl swimming in a sea of candy bunnies kind of demands to be a large piece!

Please check out LA Weekly, they featured a photo of my piece and wrote a wonderful article on the show!! ♥

Since I am still in Seoul, Korea I had to miss out attending this event which really made me sulk all evening around the house. Not only is it always fun to attend events you paint something for, but all of my friends go to these and get to dress up all pretty and eat amazing goodies~ gah I miss them!!  If you are in the LA area or can make the drive you must come out for an event sometime, you will not regret it!
