Can we talk about how cool the Star Wars show was?

 ‘cause it was cool. Check out the pieces I made. I’m a diehard Trekkie so I had to infultrate the show somehow. Also the last photo was the only one we took thet night on my phone. I need to upload the gallery tour video later to youtube. I really like doing these shows cause it gives me a chance to do some not so serious work and just relax for a moment. Also I rarely do fan art so it was really fun creating these. That’s all for now!

So ProFRESHional

Last minute a few of us vendors were invited to talk on an art and craft vendors panel during a mobile small business meeting/workshop hosted by the SBDC here in Laredo. We didn't know what we were going to be asked prior to the event so we were basically winging it. Luckily the questions were easy and it all went really well. Even though the event was mostly about starting your own food truck, we talked about our local art community and there were also other panels about local markets, permits, and marketing.

Our panel literally took only 15 minutes. Since we're friends IRL, it went smoothly and we were able to bounce off of each others answers and we didn't have to repeat ourselves.

It was pretty fun to be honest. It was something totally different and out of my comfort zone, so I'm happy I did it. I recorded our panel but wasn't able to stand up my phone so I basically recorded the ceiling. I relistened to it later that day and we definitely sounded professional. It's weird to think that considering how I feel that sometimes I'm not as much of an adult as I should be. But this has totally given me a confidence boost and I know I'm going in the right direction.

¿Qué Pasa? Interview

image.jpg

So a couple of weeks ago, I was asked if I wanted to be interviewed for solo show. I was kind of hesitant because I was feeling all sorts of anxiety about the show in general. But in the end I told myself I had to do it and get over my anxiety. I went in super nervous and very shy but I got it done. Luckily all the folks over at Laredo Morning Times were super friendly and even saw a familiar face or two. I'm very happy with the way the article came out even though it makes me seem much more of a badass than I really am. With that said, I am really excited for the show tonight! Hope to see you all there. :)​
