The Razzies

by | Feb 25, 2007 | Random (A dreXeL's Life)

Got invited by my friend, Fred, to go to the Razzie Awards last night. So that’s what I did. That was definitely entertaining, despite the fact that they just diss EVERYTHING IN THE WORLD. But I suppose that’s a nice balance from the way everything at the awards tonight will be spoken of with total love and admiration, as though it/he/she/ is the most fantastic creation in the history of ever.

The Razzies intro looked something like this…

And before that was a great and quite large Magritte exhibition, full of his paintings as well as those of other artists who, overtly or covertly, admire or emulate Magritte.

Then an amazing dinner at Figaro Cafe on Vermont. It truly feels like France. And since I was with actually eating there WITH someone French it was like I fit into a french scenario…for once. Noone sneered at me about my lack of French speaking skills or my awful pronunciation. And oh the food was great. And of course, creme brulee at the end. And Orlando Bloom was there for a minute, too. Just a good day overall, wouldn’t you say?

What My Show Actually Looks Like

by | Feb 23, 2007 | Paintings

I finally made it down to the Whittier Law Library to take photos of the actual display.  It looks really different with the display tiles than just the original paintings, so I thought you might like to see it.  Or not.  Either way, I’m SHOWING you!  XO Erica

This is “Where the History Comes From” with the display tile I made to go behind it.  Whoever can guess correctly why I named it that will win something COOL!!!  *Disclaimer:  You can’t be someone who I already told.

This one is called “Pretense” and it was sold opening night.

For some stupid reason, this window isn’t letting me type above this painting only below it.  So ok…this one is called “Walking Away” it has acrylics, nail polish, ink, and spray paint all over it.  Fun!!!  Ok more to come… XO Erica

Art Show Update

by | Feb 2, 2007 | Paintings

Thank you all sooo much for coming to my art show last night and showing your support. I had a wonderful time and hopefully you all did too. I got very positive feedback from a lot of people and I found the whole experience very encouraging and satisfying.

This is only my second solo show, and the first one that I sold a painting opening night. So that makes me happy. Here’s a pic of the one that sold:

Thanks again! XO Erica
