Fun @ the Fine Art Festival

My first art booth ever...

We have so much fun at my first art fair this past weekend.

Met lots of fun people and interesting people out there.

It's been tons of hard work leading up to that special day.

A special thank you to my oh so supportive hubby:

Can't do it with out you honey, thanks a bunch!!!

Here are some shots from that day...

Here's my space, number 88. Yay!

Hubby hard at work setting up the tent one day before show.

My space all dress up, finally.

Even got a ribbon, not bad for a first timer. ^_^


Can't wait to do another show.

Hopefully the next one we will have more sale.

See you then.

The season to give...Art Brushes Project

For the holiday season, the art boutique shop that was showcasing some of my works is having a fund raising event to benefits Big Brothers & Big Sisters. They had asked each artist to decorated a brush that is to be hung on the Christmas tree. And all the proceeds from the brushes will be donated.

Here is mine, pretty flowers.

And a very talented artist Josh @ JoshGas.com, aka my husband, created this one. Isn’t this super adorable?

Mark Ryden and “The Snow Yak”

Love Mark Ryden's Paintings!!!

He is another one of my favorite artists. One of the best of the lowbrow art movement. I prefer his work to Baseman and the others. Mark Ryden’s work invited us into his dark and surreal world. The paintings are so detail and skillful yet creepy. His works are at this point are highly collectable.

His new exhibition “The Snow Yak” had travel half way around the world to Japan and will be showing in New York soon. Seeing his works in real life is simply breath taking.

I really wish I could go. Hopefully it will make its way to the west coast too.

Yoshitomo Nara, my favorite artists of all time

Yoshitomo Nara - He is one of my favorite artists of all time.

I was lucky enough to have the opportunity to check out a lot of his artworks in real life.
A few years ago I went to this art galleries / warehouse of a private collector and they own a few piece of his works including the Pup King and The Little Pilgrims. 

The King Pup and I met again in Art Basel that year. I even walked under him and THAT was the highlight of the whole show for me.

Then years later, we discover there’s a maid café in LA, Royal/T which also double as an art galleries showcasing the owner’s private collection. BTW, a must stop if you are into the Japanese contemporary art, yummy food & tea.

And there he is again, right in the front display window, oh King Pup, how I miss you. If only I can take you home with me.

Notice how my t-shirt got the puppy on it too, told you I'm a fan ^_^
