Gallery Show and Beauty

I have a show coming up this Friday! I'm showing four original paintings, with two other artists I believe. My theme is a kind of skewed Beauty and the Beast. My show is in Bingen, Washington. More Information on the Events Page.
My show was cancelled.  
Here is a little bit of the process I've been going through. 
Of course, I couldn't help but make a little nod at the Fourth of July. My boyfriend and I went down to the waterfront and watched them set off fireworks from the barge in the middle of the Willamette. I couldn't help but be a little entertained by the amount of people holding their phones, cameras, and iPads above their heads trying to get a good picture of the fireworks. 
This is my little Fourth of July doodle, and below you can see a sped of screen capture of me drawing this picture :)

I've also been getting a bit of traffic on my Fiverr! If your interested in getting your hands on a tiny portrait like these get yours HERE


I got a couple fashion designers that wanted me to draw their clothes on  a couple models for them. Initially I was excited and happy to work with them. However, after I drew the first model (the one on the right),  they complained that the model was too "FAT", and demanded that I redraw it. Now, it is of my opinion that naturally thin people, and naturally curvy people are all beautiful. But, when curvy people have to starve themselves in order to fit the industry standards, there's something wrong with that.
