shangri-la's + upcoming holiday events

I spent most of today painting these guys. I can't believe it's so late! I was so wrapped up in painting that I didn't even notice the time passing and I almost forgot to eat dinner!



You should watch this video! Then you will understand what is so fascinating about these ladies and their shiny pants!



I know there are four in this clip and I only did three. I'm really, really bad at math guys. Not really...the 4th Shangri-la just wasn't always around. Sometimes she's there and sometimes she's not. Ultimately, I just thought a triptych looked so much nicer than a whatever a group of four paintings is called. I also took liberties with their long poofy sleeves because c'mon, those sleeves are just silly.

I'm gonna be really busy the next couple weeks, because I've got all this stuff coming up:

Handmade Brigade, Dec. 6th

GOOD Local World's Fair, Dec. 7th

Unique LA, Dec. 13th and 14th

Yes, very busy indeed. Wish me luck!

Beautfil ladies! Hooray for real paint, too! It's easy to see why you're so busy/popular. Your version of their sleeves could have been their summer look, perhaps. :)

Real paint kicked my butt! It took me two paintings and like five episodes of This American Life just to remember how to hold a brush and mix the colors. There's more real paint stuff coming soon!
