A Deck of Birds: Sold!

Quick update: Last night, during the closing auction for the DECK show, I was informed that this skate deck I worked on with my friend Laura Nisbet was sold sometime during December. So... a big THANK YOU to whoever bought it! Hope you're enjoying it <3

Also, thanks to everyone who checked out the opening, the closing auction, or the show in general. You guys are amazing!

Exponencial: 30 Day Drawing Challenge

Hace un par de meses tuve el enorme placer de participar en un proyecto iniciado por - si no me equivoco - mi amiga Ale Marroquín. Fue súper divertido y aunque no cumplí del todo (de 30 dibujos que había que hacer hice como... 6), pude ver un montón de trabajos de personas súper talentosas que no conocía.
Ahora me informan que va a haber una exhibición y que van a incluirme. Qué amor, y qué gran honor poder exhibir con personas tan talentosas <3

Entonces, si están en El Salvador pasen a dar una vuelta a la Escuela de Comunicación Mónica Herrera a las 6 pm el Viernes 17 de Febrero para la inauguración. Disfrute del buen arte, de la buena compañía, y de paso: ¡mándeme unas fotos para que yo sienta todo ese amor acá en el polo norte!

Second Annual Deck Show

Last night, the ILL'N Club's 2nd annual Deck Show opened at The Fall Gallery & Tattoo. It was a great night, and I was very impressed by the quantity (125 boards, ladies and gentlemen!) and quality of the work. I took a lot of pictures and posted the prettiest because I'm a horrible photographer.

Perhaps the only thing that bothered me was that our piece (mine was a collab with my roommate Laura Nisbet) was hung upside down. It was a bit too late to fix this when we got there, but oh well. Hopefully, it'll be fixed in the next couple of days. 

Because most of these pictures were taken when the boards hadn't been labeled yet ( I got there pretty early), I don't know most of the artists/titles. If you see your work here, drop me a line in a comment so I can add your name, and title of your piece. 

Work by Jenna Brown (far left, blue background)

"Hooters Gonna Hoot" by Rachel Shneyer (bottom)

Work by Leira Zamfirescu (far left), Alice Vogelaar (bleeding bird on white background), and Devin Rosychuk (green and pink skull design)

Two boards (the pirate and the creatures in the city) by Durwin Talon and Guin Thompson

 The piece with the snake was made by Nomi Chi, who also works as a tattoo artist at The Fall.

WHY IS EVERYTHING SO NICE

"A Deck of Birds", by Laura Nisbet and myself (colorful one next to the doughnuts). From a completely different angle.
Let's just call it abstract art.

We got a really good amount of people :D
Must've been the great art + the bar!

Not sure who made this, but I found it lovely.

My board from the last show, I regret not
retouching the colours :/ They could've used
a revamp!

Close-up for vanity

"Gentlemen" by Sinan Demirer (middle, with the pigs)

"Marie Antoinette" by Rebecca Rochon (middle, pink background)

I want to buy this doughnuty board and eat it!

If you're interested in purchasing any of these pieces, they're on sale until the end of January at The Fall, in Downtown Van.
