Sugarpill (AKA that rainbow awesome makeup brand I did some box art for) Contacted me to do a new illustration for use in the IMATS expo booth~ a new girl alongside the sugarpill mascot kitty that decorates a lot of the products they sell ♥  Naturally I had a blast on this project and the result is so freaking beautiful… just look at that cool 3d font on top and everything.  Even the ladies match!

I really need more pretty photos from the event!  Please send them my way if you snapped any!! ♥Maybe Amy will upload some next year HUR HUR HUR ♥

Go buy some makeup!  It’s amazing~ Just google around or hit youtube for tutorials!

Kudos to Bubblepunch for the photos

Bit of a late post, but I was waiting till all the photos started to appear online before I shared this event with everyone! For JapanLA’s 5th Year Anniversary Party on June 4th(first party at the new giant location on Melrose Ave. in LA!) they had the most amazing event and gallery show with over 500+ people showing up~ “Kittens and Ice cream”! The party was filled with all sorts of contests (like “Craziest Cat Lady”) with prizes donated from San X, Food trucks, goodies, games, and of course~ the art show.  Participating artists included Bei Badgirl, Twinkie Chan, Gary Baseman, Camilla d’Errico, Eimi, Buffmonster, and many more!  A % of art sales even went to charity to help less fortunate kitties ♥

My contribution to this show was “Pretty Persian Parfait“ which I had printed as a yummy giant giclee canvas (one of a kind)

Title: Pretty Persian Parfait
Medium:  Giclee varnished & stretched canvas print
Size: 16″x20″

Last month I was printed in the May issue of Digital Artist Magazine, Taiwan edition #44!!  They published a really interesting and PICTURE PACKED article about my work and some personal questions,  I think I have the original English interview for this~ so if enough people ask I will see if I can dig it up and post a translation for everyone.  I love this magazine, so it was so amazing to get a spotlight in it and maybe reach some new people over in Taiwan.  This issue also features my darling friend Mary (Acrylicana ) so if you can grab a copy you will get treated to a double does of eye candy.

Did you pick up this issue in your country? Sometimes they run articles in other places, so if it was printed in Brazil, UK, etc I would love to know!  For now, please enjoy the scans and check www.digitalartist.com/tw for more info or to order the issue ♥

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!

♥ The goddess behind the show + new bow goodies ♥
