<br />
Well, I will be moving in about a month which means less time to create, but a good time to sell! I've updated the <a href="http://www.etsy.com/shop/PopGunPlay">Etsy shop</a> with a few more paintings so please take a look and help a girl out. Every painting sold means one less thing to move!<br />
<br />
In the meantime, enjoy a few photos I took around the city a while back.<br />

Today I have updated my store on Etsy with some of my newer paintings. It also has a new name and link <a href="http://www.etsy.com/shop/PopGunPlay">PopGunPlay</a>! Check it out and maybe you'll find something for someone on your Xmas list. As always, contact me with any custom paintings or items you may want and we'll work together to make it happen.

September 9th-10th I will have 2 paintings hanging in a show in Elgin, Illinois as part of The Next Wave Art Salon. Check out the details <a href="http://www.facebook.com/pages/The-Next-Wave-Art-Salon/118423988203935?sk=info">here</a> & <a href="http://www.thenextwave.me/2011/2011/jodi-hoover/">here.</a> One of my pieces will be <a href="http://catsinthewall.blogspot.com/2010/10/floor-is-lava.html"><i>The Floor is Lava</i></a> and the other has yet to be created.Anonymoushttp://www.blogger.com/profile/04109841710997741790noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-260428819523678136.post-44503242714413302322011-06-30T20:23:00.000-05:002011-06-30T20:23:29.753-05:00Bits of Drawing and Other UpdatesIt has been a while since the last update due to hard work days and having recently moved to Chicago (yay!). However, I have started a new blog where some artist friends, Marcelo and myself post smaller works based on a weekly theme with a deadline. It is <a href="http://drawbit.blogspot.com/">DrawBit</a>.<br />
<br />
On another blog-related note, I will be moving my portfolio site to a blog to make it more clean and streamlined, cut the clutter, etc. Cats in the Wall, however, will still be here for process, sketches, photos, and the random crafty or construction-like things I tend do.<br />
<br />
In more news, I may have some work in an exhibition in September, and Marcelo and I may be at Wizard World Chicago again this year. More info on these events later.

</tbody></table>This is my interpretation of what a "Super Girl" would be if we didn't really know much about her and she wasn't into costumes so much. Basically, she is a mysterious alien girl, now in her early twenties, who has been hiding in plain sight. Being on Earth gives her powers of some sort. So, by day she's a college student, but by night she decides to use her powers to be "Super Girl".<br />
<br />
I visualize this as a girl that, as you pass her by on the street, you notice a few things off about her looks, like radiant yellow-green eyes and a glow about her, but you carry on and think nothing of it. At night she dons a simple, classic domino mask and does whatever she wants to, good or bad, just to mess around with humans and play with her new-found powers. She has grown up in a world that is not her own, and bending the rules may be fun, but will eventually disrupt balance, and somebody will notice.Anonymoushttp://www.blogger.com/profile/04109841710997741790noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-260428819523678136.post-1780562756166016322011-02-27T15:48:00.000-06:002011-02-27T15:48:10.060-06:00Gotta Go Back in TimeWow. Four months with no updates. Where have I been? I have no good excuse, like I took the opportunity to visit the past and/or future with some crazy guy I kinda know. Nope. It was just holidays and work and... I really don't know.<br />
<br />
You may be happy to know that I finally have done some artwork, and have a couple of commissions I am working on right now. Working as a pre-press-print-production-designer-of-sorts has also been going well lately and hopefully I will be able to post some of the more creative work I have done for my employer soon.<br />
<br />
In the meantime enjoy some recent and not-so-recent work I've done. Some were just for fun, and others are part of the "Tongue in Cheek" series.<br />

Friday, October 29th at 8pm Northpilot will be playing at the Elbo Room in Chicago. Come in costume for a super-fun time! Another silk-screening collaboration between <a href="http://marjbot.blogspot.com/">Marcelo</a> and myself. Silk-screening inks on paper, 17"x11". So come see the show! It's going to be one Thriller of a Dead Man's Party at the Pet Semetary where The Living Dead are going to do the Time Warp again and again. :D Happy Halloween!Anonymoushttp://www.blogger.com/profile/04109841710997741790noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-260428819523678136.post-77438525365502696862010-09-12T12:51:00.000-05:002010-09-12T12:51:37.953-05:00Tongue in CheekWorking on my first body of work I think. Yes, I would say it's the first group of drawings and paintings that I've consciously decided would have an overarching theme and will all "go" well together in idea, color, medium, style, etc. Most of the pieces are new and will be coming along in the days and weeks to follow. The idea for the theme came about when reflecting on my works since I graduated from art school over 2 years ago. It seems I've relaxed a bit, letting my own personality come out in my work. And that personality is one of silly jokes that I always make in my head but don't dare speak out loud for fear of strange looks and embarrassment.<br />
<br />
The name of this body of work is <i>Tongue in Cheek</i>. There are many times in life when the only thing you can do is laugh or puke.<br />
I prefer the former.<br />
<br />
These works contain my sense of humor, poking fun here and there in the hopes of getting someone else to chuckle along side me.<br />
<br />
I will post sketches and photos as things go along. Here are a few to get started.<br />

I'm still working on my watercolor technique, trying to work more quickly, using layers in some areas and just letting the paint go in others, thinking about hard and soft edges, aaaaand working in line work which I do love so much.

The combination of design and illustration, working with text, and having to think about three dimensions & functionality is satisfyingly challenging and very different, engaging in a different way, than drawing or painting. Unfortunately I don't work on my own ideas for packaging that often...<br /><br />Fortunately, I am working on my own idea for chewing gum packaging! Below is the process so far for "Infinite Gum". The concept is to have a more artistic, illustrative approach to gum packaging to separate it from the rest of the market on the shelf. Clean colors, unique flavor names, illustrated with a dose of humor.
