I am dreXeL. I thought you knew… Art, eating paint, life in Brooklyn. Fear it.

Thank you so much to everyone who showed up to show their support on Thursday night for the launch of my first tshirt. I definitely want to thank Toby Crabtree from Tasty Tees and Mike Yansen, my good friend and event promoter. It was definitely a successful party and a really good time. Sadly my photos came out horribly due to the low light conditions. I did set the ISO to 800, trying to remember what I learned back in junior high in photography class. And that helped a tiny bit. But not much. If I run across any better photos I’ll post them. Meanwhile, here’s what I got. In the photo are my friends, Drew Odom and Jason Pascall, the original “Smack is a Vampire” painting, and a Smack tee.

If you ordered tshirts, you’ll be getting them SOON. I know some people have already received theirs today. Aight, more soon…

XO, dreXeL

A LOT is going on. I have a new art show coming up in LA that I’ll give you the deets on as soon as I know them.

My new site is live. It’s more of an experiment than anything, but it seems to be going well. Lots of people are stopping by and checking it out.

I was just offered to take over my friend’s apt and job for two weeks while he goes to Japan and Korea. If I get the job, which isn’t a for sure thing, but IF i do it means I get to live in San Francisco for two weeks, get paid well, see all my SF friends and just live and work in a completely different environment for a bit. I want to do it bad.

I have plans to go to London in the next few weeks and then Vancouver after that, then back east for Xmas. So things are exciting and fun lately.

And on a more personal level…I just got my lip pierced!

I should have some more paintings and illustrations for you to look at soon. Meanwhile you can look at my ugly mug. PEACE! XO

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.
