Hecho a Mano is back from the summer break! Of course I'll be set up alongside some of the most awesome handmade vendors in Laredo. Hope to have some new mini prints and sketchbooks made by then! Maybe even some spooky-themed stuff in preparation for Halloween time!

Sketchbomb's annual Play, toy-themed art show, is back again! I'll have another munny piece up. Sadly I won't be here since I'll be in San Antonio watching Tears for Fears live! But don't let that deter you. There are so many awesome pieces done by local Laredo artists and there will also be free screenprinted shirts provided by AR Graphics! Family-friendly so there's no excuse that you need to find a sitter. ;)

Catching me vending along with a whole bunch of other local Laredo vendors! <3

I'll be having 3 pieces in this show! I won't be able to make it to the show but there's a lot of great art work and I encourage y'all to go check it out. (I was able to swing by the gallery before show time and it looked great!)
