TATTOO CONVENTION - 09

The 2009 Art & Ink tattoo convention was over a month ago and we lagged getting a few pics up... but here are a couple to browse through anyway!

Our kids dig tattoos, as you can tell.. Ali is stoked.








Cultura y Mas!






The convention was smaller than we expected but it was pretty cool and we all had a good time. Our favorite booth would have to be by Cultura y Mas, a husband and wife duo that sold shirts, artwork, accessories and all kinds of Mexican culture inspired goodies..... think along the lines of Che and Dia de Los Muertos. I wanted pretty much everything, but I managed to leave with a calavera screen printed tote, and Albert with some vinyl stickers. Check our their website!

Till next year!

NEXT MONTH--

Biggs is having yet another awesome group show! We both are currently working on a piece for it......



Stay tuned!

ILLAZILLA!

Usagi with our family pet rabbit, Carrotcakes!



We had the honor of being invited to paint an Illazilla ...a custom wooden toy handcrafted by the homie TNES. The Illazillas started their tour on friday 3.6.09, making their first stop in New York at the APW Gallery in Queens.. then traveling to other cities including Los Angeles, Las Vegas, and Oahu. So! if you're in the area, I suggest stopping by and checking out dozens of these amazing little Illazillas designed by tons of very talented artists around the globe.

Roxy's Inspiration, PT I

I love books, more specifically old.. antique children's books.. and even MORE specifically... Little Golden books. It's a hobby I have... where I frequent my favorite thrift shops and used book stores at least once a week to search for another awesome book.

I often use these books for inspiration while I paint, to read to the kids, or some are cool just to have. But sometimes I come across some amazing books that I swear could never be published today. For example, my latest finds--


Foreal??


here's poor Moe, smoking a cancer stick. =(.


And our new favorite that I like to read to my oldest..
(I edit out the violence though!)





Freaking amazing! Remember kids.. ALL BULLIES ARE COWARDS!

Alchemise 3.6.9

THANK YOU! To everyone who rolled through the Alchemise show on friday. It was awesome and we enjoyed hanging out with everyone as well as being downtown! We haven't showed at First Friday for a while, so.. seeing familiar faces and other great artwork all around was nice!















































BIG THANKS! To Mike & Dasha Biggs of the Biggs Gallery and to our fantastic magicians Dustin & Sarah (who seriously gave me a headache from trying to figure out how their amazing tricks were done, ha!)

Till next time everyone!
