I haven’t updated this blog since I moved to Las Vegas. So I imagine it’s time!
As an artist, my main mediums have been acrylics, spray paints, inks, varnishes, various ornamental papers and things I find around the house like nail polish or spices. All 3-dimensional items. [...]

In my gypsy-ness of moving from Brooklyn to Las Vegas and stopping in LA…for like 3 months…I’ve missed a lot. A lot of emails, a lot of things happening with friends or on the internets, and I’m just now trying to take a minute to catch up a little bit.
Apparently in August [...]

This is a piece I just found out I sold from the Younity “Fresher” group show this month. I’m so sorry I wasn’t able [...]

As you probably already know, I’m in the process of moving to Las Vegas. But that doesn’t stop me from being part of the best collective of woman artists EVER-Younity. One of the best experiences I had living in NYC was having the honor of being part of this collective with Toofly and [...]

Thursday night was just awesome X 1000.  Everyone was there, lots of amazing artists and art, djs, friends, a secret bottle of limited edition Henny, and lots of Colt 45.  I’m still waiting on some pictures from my friend Tom…of the show and also the aftermath.  Meanwhile I’ve yanked some from friends for your viewing [...]

Finished the flyer. It’s basically 1000% different than the first version but I like it. And more importantly the person who commissioned it likes it.
Also the event I’m pretty sure is going to be awesome. So if you’re in the Brooklyn/NYC area and this looks interesting to you, come check it out. [...]

This 112 Greene show next week seems to pretty much be the talk of the town.  Lots of photos and blogging and articles about it going on. I found out today that my work (and others’) is on Martha Cooper’s blog.  So I thought I’d share the link with you, and one of the pictures [...]

I’m really looking forward to my upcoming show.  Here’s the flyer:
I’d love to see you there if you can make it!  It’s gonna be a really good show and a good time.  Lots of talented artists there.  And Afrika Bambaataa with Soul Sonic Force too!  So COME!
XOXO, dreXeL

Ok so I entered a competition on Brooklyn Art Project’s website late last night.  It’s called “Best of 2008″.  So I submitted my favorite painting from this past year.  Or at least one that I liked a lot.  Wasn’t sure which to pick, so I just picked the one I felt challenged me the most [...]
