ARTICHOKAT – ENTRE BASTIDORES CON LA DIBUJANTE <ESP>

Hazlo tú mismo y si no sabes como, busca alguna amiga o alguien de quien aprenderlo. Y cuando sepas, compártelo. De donde más he aprendido sobre dibujo es de mi amigos, son lo que me inspira y son mi motor para seguir haciendo cosas, hacerlo sola no tiene sentido.

GUILLERMO MILLAN – SINKING INTO MADNESS. <<THE DARK>>

I’ve been friends with everyone in The Dark before we started working together, especially the guitarist, Robert. We’ve been friends since the 2000’s. In our earlier years, we played in bands together, silkscreen printed, and ran punk distros way before social media. Our friendship has always been tight and fun with a heavy focus on… Continue reading GUILLERMO MILLAN – SINKING INTO MADNESS. <<THE DARK>>

LAURIE STEELINK – GATHERING POWER III.

This booth was originally constructed for me to go to the Sante Fe Indian Market in 2019. It’s only a 2-day event, Saturday & Sunday.

Even though I hate being drunk – wild, I know. But if I drink half a beer, I’m buying coke. Then heroin, then this or that. It took me ten years to figure out that pattern after doing it over and over and over again. But fuck dude, I’ve been trying to get sober pretty much since I started. I knew off the rip I was an addict, hands down, immediately.

SWEET DREAMS, DEAD MEMORIES – MI VIDA LOCA by Jessica Edith Cerda.

Initially, this piece was brainstormed the last week of July 2023 and the pencil didn’t hit the paper till July 28 all the way till August 24, a little under a month of very well-used hours to get this pieced and framed, ready in time. I loved creating this piece and the emotions and memories that came with illustrating sweet dreams, dead memories.
