Must do Plushies!!!!

It's been a while since I've made a good hearty plush. My goodness, January at the Carnival art show, was the last time. It feels like forever to me. Is not so much that I don't have the inspiration, because I do. I have so many ideas in my head. I have 2 shows coming soon, so I'm hoping to me done with my current dissertation project and get started with my plush characters. I'm also crossing my fingers. I just applied for Plush You! LA which is something that I would love to be part off. Specially now that I have so much non related plush stuff going on.

Since I don't have a cute plush image. I will leave you with what I found on the other side of a Domino's pizza box. It actually made me laugh out loud.

Drawing Ceramics

For the pass few weeks all I've been working on is related to archeology (if you know me personally, you know exactly why). In the next week or so I have to finish at least 3 more of these and start and finish my submission to the Bear and Bird Florida show. Wish me luck!

More maps, maps, maps

Between going to the Green Market and watching a really good Super Bowl game I sat down and made 3 more maps. I should be all done with the maps and ready to draw some artifacts. Can you guess what I'm working on?

Meet Octoquish

Last night while looking for an adventure I spotted this little critter, eating everything in the fridge!!! Don't let his cute appearance fool you. He calls himself Octosquish and can eat like a dragon. I know what you are thinking... how? With what mouth? Somewhere in between that soft, cute, orange fur there's a huge bottomless pit. I'm serious! No joke! I need to keep a constant eye on him, so I moved him to the office where there is nothing he can eat and he can hang with Mr. Gorilla pain. Hopefully they'll get long.

If you want to venture and take any of these two monsters home... they are super friendly and actually like to cuddle. Well anyway, they available at my etsy store.

Maps, Maps, Maps

What I'm currently working on and will be working on for a while is maps, maps, maps and some ceramic drawings. These will be publish in my girlfriends dissertation and she is über excited about them. So far they are pretty fun, but really time consuming.

GUR Miami!!!

Not exactly art related but definitely super fun! This weekend Rhianna, two friends and I did the Great Urban Race Miami. What is GUR? Well think Amazing Race but local. We were team Foo Foo Cuddlie Poop (blame Rhianna for that one) and Joshua and Julio were team Chimi Changa.

We really had no idea what to expect when getting to the race, but soon after starting we where having a blast. We did so much in 3 hours, from a 2 minutes salsa lessons to waxing a surf board, jumping in the air for a picture, getting our nails painted and waiting for the bus... it was run, run, run all over Miami Beach. We'll definitely have to do this again!

Just got the official time. 2:38:03 that's 53rd place out of 107. Not that bad for a first time. First place did it in 1:36:02 THAT"S CRAZY!!!!!


Julio , Rhianna Joshua and I


Yeah! We had to take the bus!


Had to come back to this one. Needed to touch it.


Jump for chocolate!!!
