My art

My life has always been inflluenced by art and creativity. As a kid, my dad would take me along with him as his 'assistant' to go paint murals he would do on the side. I would clean his brushes, paint a large section that I couldn't possibly mess-up, and help clean up. He has always done tattoos, sketches, paintings on canvas, murals on walls, etc. I've been around to see it all.

Well, I didn't believe he had such an impact on me until a few years ago. He bought me a huge canvas, acrylic paints, a brush set, etc. I mean, I knew I was creative, pretty good at drawing, had a good handle on some watercolors, but never thought much of it. And I told him, 'I don't know how to paint.' He said, 'Yes, you do. You just don't know it yet.' So he told me to paint whatever I wanted and to send him a picture when I finished.

It took me a short time to figure out what I wanted to paint. I have been fascinated by the colors and the meaning behind the tradition of dia de los muertos (day of the dead). So, a sugar skull it would be. It didn't turn out perfect, but I loved it and I kept painting. Here are some of my paitings I have done. Some inpired by pictures I've seen, loteria cards, etc. but all in all, I love to play with color ☺

I will keep posting as I keep painting more ☺

Product review: Butter London

Pretty much love this nail polish.

Check out: http://www.butterlondon.com/

Sure it costs more than your average nail polish, but not by much and the quality is pretty phenomenal. You get what you pay for. You don't have to apply coat after coat to achieve the actual shade. 2 coats, that's it.

No more running on 'E'

It's Christmas time! What better gift for the 'please-stay-the-hell-away-from-me until-you've-had-your-coffee' friend?
