Happy Halloween kiddies!

Thank you to all the peeps that came out to the gallery 50 show! - It was such a fun night... Rick and I almost drove into a bunch of bicyclists/day of the dead parade- that was making it's rounds around the neighborhood!-- sorry, I didn't get a picture....

and here's to Mr. Bill... always ready to go.

Below is an AMAZING gallery in Highland Park we went to after the show - The Mor York Gallery 4959 York Boulevard--

Take yourself out for a treat and see this space, if you collect old vintage stuff like I do-- you'll be amazed at what they do with it! - It's only open on Nela art nights. see this link for info!

This gallery had everything from vintage doll displays to carnival collections... My photos don't do it justice--- there is SO much to see and be inspired by!

.... and here's a detail of the painting I have at Ave. 50 gallery.

BabyTattooville

BabyTattooville 2009 was insanely fun..
Here's all us artist's with our 'Art Jam' painting Sat. night: James Gurney, Michael Hussar, Audrey Kawasaki, Travis Louie, Elizabeth McGrath, (moi) Miss Mindy, Johnny KMNDZ Rodriguez, KRK Ryden, Greg "Craola" Simkins, Yoskay Yamamoto, Buff Monster and The Lovely Miss Molly Crabapple.

--- It was so nice to meet all the artists...not to mention work along side each other. To hang out with the attendees was so very cool.. I've never met so many people so incredibly psyched about art - thank you for making me feel welcome.

Yes My Wooden Nickels actually got done before the guests arrived on Friday...
I was happy & exhausted! Watching them pick out their "Loot Bag" was my favorite part -- I got to see most of the folks open their bags and pull out their handmade sucker- and then Nickel. Their faces were like Christmas.

Below are two of the cards from our "Duets" evening... -- artists draw on these special cards 50/50 courtesy of arrested motion. These two were me, Buff Monster and Yoskay...

Sucker Madness.... This is how I made the Custom sucker gift for the attendees of Baby Tattooville -First the sculpt.... (I used super sculpey)

Then cook up the secret formula... ( sugar sugar sugar sugar diabetes sugar)

-don't forget to place your tripod on your stove with a large twist-tie attached to your candy thermometer to achieve the right temperature! ( Our pan was too shallow, so I had to get creative.. ha ha)

pour le gooooo... into le fairy face....(after you make the mold of course-- 'Sill-Putty' works awesome.)

and waaa--- la! The custom candy shop -- enough sugar to make you crazy! Thank you Rick for helping me with the assembly line. I owe you the biggest Guinness ever. 0r three.
