Update!!!!

The art show went great.  A woman wants one of my paintings, and wants emails when I do something new so she can have advance notice and buy them before anyone else does!!!

A really SWELL result of all this is when I went to pick up two of the pieces from the framer she was telling me that she’s the person who organizes/arranges all the art shows that they have at Borders in South Coast Plaza.  She said if I can get together about 19 more similar in style to “Almost Nude” she will give me a show.  So there it is…my very first show all MINE.  I’ll keep you posted of the date.  Will probably be in about 3 months.  I’d love to see all of you there.

Geek Makeovers

3 girls doing makeup

Well, I was dragging my feet but now I’m not. Here’s what’s happening:

Stylegoddess.com will be a video blog VERY soon. I will be doing videoed makeovers and they will appear on these pages. I’m also going to be working with an amazing celebrity in the open-source, bay area, technologically-advanced scene. But I’m going to leave his name and his website’s name out of this until I find out if he’s ok with me plugging his site. Suffice it to say for now that he is a STAR.

So…that said, if you or someone you know falls under the category of “geek” and wants to be featured for one of my makeovers, LET ME KNOW right away. These makeovers will be videoed and professionally edited, then put on Stylegoddess.com and the other soon-to-be-divulged awesome website.

Cheers,

Erica aka The Stylegoddess.

Spring

This post has zero to do with geek OR with fashion. I just happen to have become recently addicted to THIS awesome site. I call it the Iron Chef of Illustration. They come up with the theme and you do an illustration based on the theme. So minus the 1 hour time limit and crazy factions rooting for the other guy and critical judges, it’s just like Iron Chef.

So this week’s theme was Spring and here’s my contribution.
