2011 New Year's Rush Limbaugh Painting, In Progress. Acting as a roadie for my wife while she plays harp at a local gig, so I've started this at a nearby Caribou Coffee.

An Obama Unicorn Happy New Year painting from a few years ago, which originally appeared on a number of sites including Art Of Obama.

Vladimir Putin / Barack Obama / Penelope The Unicorn 'I Found My Thrill On Blueberry Hill' study for a larger painting for the Dirty Show 12 in Detroit Michigan. I'll make a number of changes and additions for the larger canvas.

Dirty Show Painting / Blueberry Hill, in progress, update #4. Should have this study competed later this afternoon.

Marc Jacobs Daisy & Marc Jacobs Lola - solid perfume rings!

The inside!

I'm in love with solid perfume rings! Marc Jacobs made both of these so beautiful - more like art pieces. I get so many compliments on them and they are so fun to wear. I have to confess though - I don't want to use the actual perfume because I don't want to mess them up! But I do smell them often.

Cute right? =) Hope everyone had a wonderful Christmas & holidays! xoxo

Dirty Show Painting / Blueberry Hill, in progress, 3. Coming along. I often paint upsidedown.

I've been invited by founder Jerry Vile to show a number of new Obama Unicorn Porn paintings at The Dirty Show 12 International Erotic Art Exhibition in Detroit, Michigan in February 2011. Depending upon how much time I can devote to the project I'll be displaying up to four larger paintings. I'm planning on painting 9 by 12 inch SFW studies of all of the individual pieces and placing them up for auction as I complete them on Ebay.

You can follow the progress of the paintings on a new thread on the Faithmouse forum at Portal Of Evil (NSFW)

Five large acrylic paintings of YouTube viral video memes pictured upon completion in my luxurious unfinished basement studio. These were mailed to a corporate client in Tokyo last week. I'll start additional paintings for the same client within a few days-

Dramatic Prairie Dog Is Watching You

I've posted pics of all the paintings on my neglected Flickr page, where you can also view a few pics from earlier this year at ROFLCon II.

A commission.

My new obsession! I received the TEMPTU temporary tattoos from someone as a Christmas gift, and they were put to very good use!

Our department went out for happy hour to celebrate the holidays, and these photos were the result! I had the stars on my wrist, and once the ladies saw my temp tat they wanted one too.

Such a fun thing to do - and the designs are very cute! The kit is "sexy or sinister" and comes with either cutesy tats (stars, hearts, etc as shown) or darker, edgier tats (skulls, spider webs, so on)

And for only $5, who could beat that?

You are a beautiful girl in desperate need of a NEW MAKEUP LOOK. The harsh eyes and chalky red lips is getting old FAST. You are so pretty and young, no need for the painted on makeup!

With Love,

Makeup Majesty

The smaller paintings I've been posting for auction on Ebay of viral video memes are studies for five paintings for a corporate client-destination: Mori Tower, Tokyo, Japan.

Here's a few links and posts of my paintings which I've discovered recently in my referrer stats. Thanks to all-

Four additional small paintings of YouTube viral videos. All of these are studies for much larger paintings, which I plan on having completed by next Saturday. A previous study of Rick Astley is currently on auction on Ebay, as were two recent paintings of the Dramatic Prarie Dog. I'll try to have a new Prairie Dog posted tomorrow-

I finally did it! For those of you that have been following me for a while (kiss!) you know that i've been dying to try red lips for a while, I just could never find the right shade.

I got this Estee Lauder Signature Lipstick in Spanish Red as a gift. To be honest, I was ready to "re-gift" it (I know, awful right?) But then I thought...maybe...it would look good on me?

Some Motley Crue music and a few glasses of Chianti later, this was the result. And I really liked it!! I don't know how comfortable I would be wearing it out somewhere, but I really loved the shade and texture of the lipstick.

I started going in the "red" direction, by purchasing an NYX lipgloss in red (see review in previous posts). I absolutely loved it, but since it was a gloss it wasn't bold enough. I felt like I needed to go the extra mile...branch out so to speak.

What do you guys think, cute??? xoxo

Rahm Emanuel With A Hot Dog On His Head Painting, for Ray's Chicago Show.

Another study of The Dramatic Prarie Dog, this time with a pancake tumbling overhead. This is a study for a much larger painting-

Soon to follow in the next few days are studies for four more YouTube meme themed paintings; Maru the cat, Rickrolling, The Sneezing Panda, and Keyboard Cat. Larger versions of these paintings are already in progress.

4 by 5 inch study for a painting of Rahm Emanuel with a hot dog on his head for Ray Noland's Pork & Politics art show which opens in Chicago later this week-

Rahm Emanuel Hot Dog Study - Ebay Art Auction

Ahhh!!!!!!!!!

OK I love this. A good friend gave it to me as a gift and I think it's amazing for a few reasons.

One: Obviously, the packaging is adorable/fun and I love the brand.

Two: Great color combos

Three (and probably most important): The palette comes in a huge tin. BUT - the 3 mini palettes are detachable (as shown above) and are super thin and compact for travel/touch-ups.

I usually have to resist purchasing any type of gift set, even though I really WANT IT REALLY BAD. But what I find happening, is I like maybe one or two things within the set, then i'm left with a ton of product that I don't like or use. Also, the gift sets/tins/etc are usually big and bulky and I have nowhere to store them (even though this one is reallyyyyy cute i'll have to find a place for it!)

The Arlecchino palette (the middle palette above) made me go out of my comfort zone of warm/golds/nudes. I've been using Ninja Dog (the fun purple shade) a lot, and have been getting compliments on it! I also like using the shades Bullets, LA Gun & Candy Cane for the inner corners.

Bottom line: Love the shadows. Love that the palettes are detachable. I've begun using purple shadow. The end.

What do you guys think? Any other palettes you are loving? xoxo

Here's a promotional piece from Endangered News regarding Ray Noland's Pork & Politics art show, which will be showing one of my paintings next week. This will be the third Chicago area show I've participated in, if you count the Run Blago Run show, which unfortunately misplaced and never displayed one of my Rod Blagojevich pancake paintings. I've decided to forgo my 'Obama Emanuel Sears Tower' painting which I had been developing and instead finish a single larger portrait of Emanuel, which I think will be effective.

Pork & Politics – Stuff It! Chicago Style is a group art show that brings to life the combinatrix of two of Chicago’s favorite institutions — Politics and the Hot Dog. Apparently, inspired by the quote, “Laws are like sausages. It’s better not to see them being made,” select artists envision politicians enjoying the widely consumed cylinder of random meat products, while incorporating Chicago’s rich vienna sausage history. The politicians include the full roster of upcoming Chicago Mayoral candidates: Emanuel, Chico, Meeks, Braun, Hendon and many more. Not to be forgotten are the Chi-town favorites: Blago, Barack Obama and Richard M. Daley.
