he's gonna feed you gilded treats.

our dear (+very talented) buddy kyle simon is having his first solo show!!

so, come over to artjail on thursday night.

chris grassi of papabubble will be dj-ing and there really will be gold plated snacks.
see you there!!

in the heart of a gold spangled mistress, we got drunk.

monica canilao's epic opening night..too many people to photograph well (+also my camera was acting drunk+wouldn't focus most of the time:(...followed by some fun (+yum) times at roebling tea room.

my art crush is in town.

monica canilao's 'we are dust' opens tomorrow night !!!!!!

as you dear readers know, i've been crushing out on monica's magical creations and her mystical mama ways for over a year now... so obviously, i'm MORE than completely-totally-radically-jazzed to finally get to see and experience her work in person..i anticipate feeling incredibly inspired (and mired with guilt that i'm not painting enough) as soon as i walk into the space.
[full disclosure-i plan to profess my artcrushlove to her at the opening but in reality, i'll likely feel a bit shy about actually doing it when the moment comes..(currently considering that perhaps some feathers and bourbon will help)...]

anyhoo-see you there!

oh and...
here are a few pictures of monica prepping for the show at her studio in oakland, california..
for those of you who've been to my painting studio-you know i can relate to this overwhelming life collage.
