Fun with Silk Screen Printing :)

We made the awesome decision to start making our own Shirts, specialty for our Tattoo Shop and it has been quite the adventure , learning as we go and getting better at it, One thing is for sure i will never buy a 30$ Shirt from any retail store ever again when i can make my own of whatever i want. Yay Love it!

In a few months i will start creating shirts with my Art and Matt's art to sell.


Creating more unique Stuff

Here lately i been full of ideas, i even got myself a little Journal to write everything down so i won't forget about it, I hope i never lose that little book of precious links and words.
I do a lot of research on crafts and videos on a daily basis, while making Dinner , painting or doing 5 other things at the same time and i have to say i have a full list of New Products i want to introduce in my store, It will be a few months for everything to be done and ready for sale since is all Handmade by one person "ME" but i can't wait to show everyone all the funky new Art.

I also started designing my very own line of greeting cards and throw pillows :) But it doesn't stop there i have 10+ other cool Stuff.

All the new products need more space to create them in so i been working on expanding my Studio Room and separate everything by stations which will make things easier and more organized. I wish i could have all this done already.

I am still painting of course , i never stop i am very good at multitasking hehe. A lot of unfinished projects with all this moving stations and expanding my room but it will all change as soon as everything is in its place.

Thank you Everyone for all your awesome and inspiring emails , Facebook Messages,  since i been getting a lot of Questions on different subjects but mostly Art Related  i think is a good idea to end my Blog post with the Answer. Keep them coming :) I will answer as soon as i can.

First Question is From Veronica Ronald

How do you have any time to create so many paintings while you have a toddler to take care off and a house to keep clean?

Answer:
I paint pretty fast and probably 70% of the time i paint 2 to 6 paintings at once , with a little 3 year old running around all over the living room and my studio i think the more productive i am in less time the better. Lucy my Daughter usually plays beside me on the floor or i make space for her on my desk to put a few of her toys , she is with me 24/7 i guess you can say we have a routine.
Now about keeping the house clean that is my biggest challenge, the house stays as clean as it can possibly be with a 3 year old and 3 full toy boxes. But she helps me clean up every now and then :P

Thanks Veronica hope you got all your answers

New Skeleton Paintings muahahahaha

Here lately i been working on soo many projects i can't keep track off, one of them is another website for all my Day of the Dead creations , I decided to separate my Day of the Dead Art from the Rest of my work a couple of months ago,  i feel that having a site for all those Skeletons and Dia de los Muertos inspired paintings is the Best thing to do, But Putting Together another website is not done in a week and i can't focus on it completely since i have other Work i need to do as well. So other then a million projects half done now i have a new website to work on.

Here are some of the Paintings i have available in my store, Take a moment to check them out :) And if you like one why not add it to your collection.
