A recap of last month’s artwalk:

Elizabeth Blankenstien and Katrina Palomara

Special thanks to the boyfriend for providing the “before” pictures

I love iphones, pictures always look good on those marvelous contraptions

Katrina Palomara, swept away across the nation to live in New York. You will be sorely missed <3

blue canvas, issue number five! $6.99 at barnes and noble or borders. you can also purchase from their website at bluecanvas.com ~

the cover - not me, but someone else who is uuber talented

first featured artist, baby!

funny story, really - i locked my keys in the car and was stranded at the mall (haha, poor me ..) so to kill time, i decided to roam around. after about an hour later, i stumbled into borders and decided to look for my spread in bluecanvas magazine. and true to form, i took pictures of my featured artist layout. super stoked!!!

its really exciting to tell not only my friends and family that im in print, but the people who have bought my work can see their purchases in this magazine. super fantastico neato, haha

first off, i want to thank ALIVENOTDEAD.com for having me as apart of the ‘Emerging Artists’ discussion panel at the japanese american national museum - it was a great experience! special thanks to lisa von and mark allen for the support and having me apart of the show, and thank you to my models, stephanie, neddy, diana, and her girl friend. very special thanks to rodo riot aka ZORRO YABUT! and nat s. for being my photographers for the night (they have been swamped with other work, therefore i dont have the official photos of the night) thanks to dinh for being my videographer and charles for shooting pictures. thanks to everybody who showed up, my parents that flew in to la to watch me paint, and my friends and students for coming - i was blessed to have the support

a very, very special thank you to my boyfriend, jason, who busted his hand and still helped me deliver the canvases and paintings to the museum. he’s my rock, not only did he help organize all of his friends to come, but on the way over to the museum he reminded me that i forgot my paints.. which, well, would have been a disaster to say the least. he keeps me grounded, without him, i would still be leaving the house without shoes on.

anywho ..

here are the other photos i have from the event:
