When Breakthru Radio calls…

December 10, 2015 | Viciously Sweet

I am really excited to post this.

Although I should have posted this last week… late is still okay!

A few weeks ago I was very luckily found by a really cool internet radio station called Breakthru Radio, with the very sweet and really great interviewer Jess Goulart the host of “Biology of the Blog”!

She talks about blogs, and plays cool music! And I make a blog and I love cool music…. so we were meant to be together.

I feel really lucky to share my drawings and my odd little stories, and I’m really glad that all these doodles led me to Jess and this great station!

You should totally listen to Jess and if you have sometime you should even listen to my interview… where I mention a few people I draw about on this very radio station!

The link to hear me talk about drawings and internetting here.

And I almost feel like apologizing for my voice… it sounds like I’m a 14 year old girl, who only watches “Clueless” on loop. I’m sorry, I’m from LA County and I do watch only “Clueless” on loop . This may be the reason why I draw my stories instead of being a news anchor!

Thanks again Jess!!!

ps. now you can listen to it Jimmy! And I totally mentioned you!!!

Happy Birthday to Lauren!

Every year for my birthday I like to do a simple thing. I like to make a list of things I learned and I also like to make a list of goals for me.. that I hope I can really do.

So as always I start with what I learned:

-Planning and orchestrating extreme costumes is amazing. And I suggest to everyone who wants to be dressed like something they in-vision to do it at least once

-I learned to defend myself and my beliefs, and I didn’t apologize for what I like, or who I like!

-I learned that NBC is useless without Thursday night comedies. And that ended me watching as much TV as I used to… and since I watched all NBC comedies like an addiction since I fell in love with repeats of Night Court at 3. This could actually be a good thing.

-I learned how to pronounce “quinoa”

-And I learned that my sense of optimism is still a bit too high! But I like it that way!

-I got more serious about my artwork, and I’m actually working on making it into a side business. And I love working on it.

BTW I was just interviewed by Jess Goulart by breakthruradio for a podcast about this very website and these very drawings!!! I will make a much better and cooler post about this later!

Things I want to do this year:

-This may sound really strange… but I want to go to Circus School. I want to learn to use those ribbon things and i want to do it really well… then I will enter the olympics of ribbon thing. (Which I really wish was real)

-I want to be so serious about having fun that it’s contagious and everyone around me will have fun.

-I will find out who make the graphic t-shirts I don’t understand at F21. Literally last year they released a shirt with an address and the address was to an “H&M”

-I will always try to check out facts (hence I discovered that F21 address gaff)

-And I will see the Cure, they are in America… and they are my favorite thing besides good hair, and good times.

Thanks to everyone who reads this blog, passes by it, or wonders what the heck they have stumbled upon.

Here’s to another AMAZING year!!!

And here is to my dream costume of the year:

Hedy Lamarr’s Zeigfield Girl.

I want to wear it all the day, all the time.

Just imagine me in the line at “Chicken Now” in this number… ordering some chicken strips and texas toast.

Heads Up with Elisa

November 9, 2015 | Viciously Sweet

My friend Elisa just had her birthday on Friday…

And one of my favorite things to do is draw her.

She has a great imagination for costumes, and I have a great way of taking all her dream threads and turning them into a construction set for her to make her costumes.

And for some reason, all of her costumes have huge hair and leotards.

Her next 356 days will involve her taking her exuberant, day-planning, auto-cad drawing self to become a glamorous Barbaraella Medusa.

And she will pull it off seamlessly.

This year she traveled to Downtown LA several times a week, and spent weeks handbeading a dress to create her dream of becoming a glamorous Beyonce Queen.

And next year I’m hoping for animatronic snakes and the most glittery leotard in the land… because I would expect nothing less.

Happy Birthday Girl!

Where are you???

November 5, 2015 | Viciously Sweet

I have been busy for the last month.

I am trying to make a business and I actually, which is kind of odd and brave.

And everyday I evaluate whether I am doing well at this or not… and so far, it’s been okay.

I’m making retro art available to decorate homes.

And I have my first art show this very month in Covina, CA.

This is a candy dot mermaid. She is for candy and mermaid enthusiasts.

I have a few drawings to post. But in the last month I have just made 13 variations of these mermaids and about 16 necklaces.

If you want to know anything about them, email me at viciouslysweet08@gmail.com

water

August 18, 2015August 18, 2015 | Viciously Sweet

I am obsessed with water.

Maybe it’s because we’re in the middle of a drought that has lasted most of my life…

or maybe just because I like water.

Today’s doodle is an illustration for a water themed furniture exhibit:

I think it has a nice message about juicy strength.

Happy Birthday America

Wait…

I had enough time to draw 2 things this week

#ALLMYDREAMSARECOMINGTRUE

This one was inspired by the fact that anytime we hang a flag Elliott thinks it’s his duty to attack it.

He has been staring at the American Flag all afternoon.

And he really looks confident this year.

America!

July 3, 2015 | Viciously Sweet

I would personally like to say the following 2 things

1. I love patriotic Holidays.

2. I like days when I’m not so preoccupied with work, and tired from all the chaos that is contained in one office building that I get to draw.

This doesn’t happen very often nowadays.

So let’s get into this drawing. I won’t say anything sarcastic about the US, because it’s pretty cool and if it wasn’t for like 15,000 different cultures coming here to exist…. I know I certainly wouldn’t.

So Happy Birthday America, and for the next 48 hours everything will be fireworks, red white & blue, powdered wigs, and Alexander Hamilton look-a-like contests.
