Wedding tray for my wonderful high school friend @

Wedding tray for my wonderful high school friend @meanashleygreen and her fiancé @rpconnors86. Lettering inspired by their wedding cake topper and floral corners based on their arrangements! So excited to be a part of their special day very soon.
.
Corners hand drawn with @posca_usa and @montana_colors water-based markers. Lettering masked with @frogtape and spray painted with @rustoleum specialty metallic and enamel clear coat.

Presenting my latest work Serenity Before Dawn, in

Presenting my latest work Serenity Before Dawn, in a super-compressed time lapse (see the full video on my YouTube). When I concept for a commission, I pitch a dream concept and a practical one. Rarely do I get the chance to do the dream option, but @drfreedkin enabled me to do just that in the @sunshinehouseblanco short-term rental!! It’ll be available to rent in late September, so give them a follow to get the updates on all the fantastic creative energy going into this space.
.
This time lapse is 75 hours of painting crammed into 1 minute. 1.5 lunar cycles in 60 seconds. For this 253 sqft mural project, I used
@montana_colors water-based aeresol on the base mural, @behrpaint latex across the ceiling, and @glomaniausa UVI acrylics to create an invisible blacklight overlay. Thanks as always to @vandals.container for keeping me stocked with caps and spray paints!
.
This has been my biggest mural project to date and I am beyond grateful for the opportunity to create this magical scene in the Sunshine House meditation room. Big thanks again to @drfreedkin for allowing me the opportunity and budget to work on a dream project like this. Inspired by the Blanco River, black flowers, verdant plants and local wildlife!

Virgo Season has arrived! ♍️ This one goes out

Virgo Season has arrived! ♍️ This one goes out those under the sign of self-sufficiency. Tag your favorite Virgs in the comments! 🌾
.
My mum @bsoper2015 is Virgo number one in my life. I legit am not thinking of any other Virgos in my life, but maybe y’all just aren’t loud about it. 😂 JK EDIT: @piraniprints is yet another bad af Virgo in my life. 💖
.
This is based on the Burney Relief, which may depict the ancient Mesopotamian goddess Ishtar, with whom some Virgo myths are associated. The sign is often associated, not with the virgin, but with Great Goddesses of the grain and harvest, self-reliant independence, and communion with animals.

Had so much fun at the 1v1 spray battle last Saturday with @openartatx at @nightowl.market! I channeled my inner battle spirit, put it on a board, and emerged victorious.
.
I couldn’t compete with @paolaasire’s clean and crispy line work on their clown in a car, but lil fae frog still stole the judges’ hearts. The dice roll had us both painting upside down for 20 minutes in the middle!! I was so happy to get the opportunity to jam with Paola, who’s a fellow member of @creativecutiesatx and an all-around hyper-talented human!
.
Won an amazing gift basket filled with goodies from NOM vendors. And even picked up some original works and prints from a few of my faves.
.
Big thanks to @lacedandfound and @vandals.container for sponsoring the paints! And to @atxconcertqueen, @txsakeco, and @theaustinwinery for judging the battle. And of course @openartatx for all of you effort and advocacy for the Austin art community!

Battling this cutie on Thursday night in my first

Battling this cutie on Thursday night in my first legit spray paint battle ever and first canvas battle since @afterhoursatx 2018. I’m gonna talk them up for a sec bc I am a bit nervous NGL. @paolaasire is super skilled, creative, cool, and fast as f*ck. Go look at their work. Do it now. I’m good, but speed is my biggest weakness. But I’m gonna try my best!
.
This one-hour head-to-head battle, hosted by @openartatx, will take place from 8-9pm at the @nightowl.market at @theaustinwinery and @txsakeco. OpenArt Studios has a couple of tricks up their sleeve that are guaranteed to make things interesting. 😷MASK UP, come out, and cheer me on so I can have fighting spirit to win. 😂

One of these lil diddies for a big, big project I’ve been working on for the past month out at @sunshinehouseblanco. Slow and steady. 🐢🌞
.
@drfreedkin is curating a uniquely artful escape out in the Texas hill country, featuring work by myself and several other talented local artists and artisans. I feel so lucky to be a part of making this a truly magical experience.
.
Covering a wall and the ceiling (~260sqft) with @montana_colors water based aerosols, except for the bit of dark blue @behrpaint I rolled in the solid areas. Thanks to @vandals.container for keeping the caps and tiny cans in stock! Patre0n supporters have seen pics of it, but I’ll be sharing more as the month progresses.

Uh. I have been running in burnout mode for the last month so I am drawing a complete blank on Leos I know other than @_penny.jane_ (HBD BABE). Please tell me where y’all are at so I can wish you a happy birthday.

I am so in love with this portrait @amandazindlera

I am so in love with this portrait @amandazindlerart // @crydyebyamanda did of me, based on a photo @is.ra___ captured of me with my frog mural! I am pretty sure this is the first time anyone has drawn a portrait of me, so it makes me feel super loved and she has SUCH A COOL ART STYLE. Follow all them cuties!
.
Since starting @creativecutiesatx this year, I’ve had the privilege of meeting and getting closer to so many skilled and determined people I may not have connected with otherwise. It’s so rad to have such a caring creative community backing me up. Seeing them support each other and grow their talents is everything I could have dreamed of and more. All of it stemming from leaning into where the energy felt right and trying to do the most good with what little we have.
