BUDWIESER MADE IN AMERICA | ART ON GUITARS

I may have shared with you some of the photos of me working on the NY Gutiar for Budwieser's Made In America Festival going on this weekend  in Philadelphia held at the Benjamin Franklin Parkway. The festival curated by Jay-Z happens Aug 31-Sept 1st. and can be streamed live on youtube. 

The guitar that I hand painted will be featured at the Budweiser Beer Garden along with other 31 state guitars. According to this article written by Billboard. 

I was so honored to be the artist chosen to represent New York for this opportunity and I dedicated my approach to the piece by referencing it to the hustle and bustle experiences I have had and taking chances as a New Yorker. I state in the footage that I am inspired by the attitude to survive in New York. I hope it is appreciated by everyone who gets a chance to see it for themselves at the Made In America festival! 

I have to thank Frank from Big Shoulders Video for selecting me as the artist for this event.

OLD GLAMOUR RUFFIAN TRIBUTE

Something so fresh and vintage about Ruffian's style and presentation on the runway at Fashion Week 2012. Fashion week is around the corner so I tried my hand at some looks from Ruffian's 2012 Runway looks at fashion week. 

So very cool.

A Day In Paradise

Last week, I was feeling really lost in time. With so much going on with me, getting prepared for my upcoming showcase and being reminded that I hadn't gone on any vacations-- I needed a break from reality!

I found myself stumbling upon the blog of Natalie Live, The Tiny Closet and I just was taken to another place. Page after page of inspiring fashion that she notes is often recycled from her tiny selection of clothes. I was happy I kept on browsing past posts because I ended up being inspired by this post!

She emulates fabulous style, confidence and took me to paradise-- if only for a moment.
