Wishing you a Very Merry Alien Cutie-mas!! Lil Blo

Wishing you a Very Merry Alien Cutie-mas!! Lil Bloo and Lil Phathead have donned their gay apparel to help the winter cardinal deliver gifts to all the woodland critters!! This was a 12’x8’ aerosol mural for the @artintheheart.htx Merry Mural Fest in Houston this past weekend. Thanks to @stay_colorful_roni (and team) and @mr_rusto for the space to create and the custom mugs with treats! All the artists were so skilled, very inspiring to paint around, and so wonderful to hang out with.
.
As you can see from the reference sheet, I decided to freestyle on the background to weave @world_of_cease and @loscoloresdevanessa ‘s backgrounds into my scene. Thanks to @bombitimprints on having every shade of @montana_colors so I could eyeball that exact match on the fly! 🪽oh yeah and thanks to @muralsupplyco for my paint pick up needs before I left! The little pine sapling is based off our tree at home. 🥰
.
I also got to have a couple of chill days spending time with @paleopagan89 & her new babe and @iamrunning & his wee ones (plus bonus Weasel!) It was really nice.

Remembering Leslie was a piece I did a couple of weekends ago at the @bringbacktheweird homecoming event. So much fun and met a lot of cool people like @gothess.jasmine and @the6thstsnake . I was beyond honored to have been crowned Sovereign of Strange. 👑 I can’t wait for what this crew has planned for future initiatives to bring back the weird to Austin!!! Big thanks to @highervibesatx @goddess_xani @blackfruitart and @rayevnsnest for having me out!!
.
I feel like Austin lost a lot of its sparkle when Leslie left us back in 2012. Living in Austin since 2005, I was surprised at how many people hadn’t heard of Leslie Cochran or the work he did to support queer culture in the city. He was a massive advocate for the unhoused population and even ran for mayor. Everyone who met him knew what a kind and open person he was. Always willing to take a photo and share a joke or story with anyone who approached him on the street. As Austin becomes increasingly corporate, his quirky energy is something that is surely missed. What’s your favorite memory of Leslie?
.
I’ve been nursing a cold the past week but feel like I’m turning the corner today so that’s great! I’m going out to Houston next week to throw up a holiday piece for @artintheheart.htx and I’m excited for that!

Feeling grateful for some new equipment!! @wagnerspraytech hooked it up with the Titan ControlMax 1650 sprayer recently and it was such a big help for buffing out this huge wall at @therockboxsa for the @ftkatx crew!
.
If you’ve got a painter or home renovator in your life looking for a heavy-duty sprayer, this would make a perfect gift!! 🎁 Hope you’re all having a beautiful couple of days with chosen family, reflecting on feelings of gratitude for the little things that bring you joy in this crazy existence!

Today is @bjork ‘s birthday!! So there is no better time to share this time lapse from this lil @ftkatx music love production at @therockboxsa !! Thanks again to @the_great_dane_787 for having us out! It was so much fun spending a weekend out in San Antonio painting with all the gals.

Tag her and wish her a happy birthday! 🥹

Ran away to San Antonio for the weekend and painte

Ran away to San Antonio for the weekend and painted a giant portrait of @bjork , which was basically going back in time and giving my younger self a little kiss on the forehead. The little me who wondered why she was born so strange. Why she yearned for something so impractical as what I am doing today. Who saw Kristi Yamaguchi skate to It’s Oh So Quiet and immediately went and bought her first CD, Post, which started a life long love of Bjork’s music. Music that continued to be the soundtrack to so many moments in my life, speaking directly to my weird little heart and my weird little feelings.
.
Between using my printed reference and listening to the entire Bjork casette tape collection my sister @derpsicles gifted me on the tape deck that my partner gifted me, I focused on having a very analog experience. Unplugging from the very triggering news cycle (as a survivor of restrained assault, coercion, narcissistic manipulation, and men taking advantage of me while unconscious, this shit ain’t cute). We focused on the positive present. Spending time enjoying family style meals with the @ftkatx crew at our AirBnB. Making sure my homies were fed and watered. Laughing with and gassing up the other amazing local lady artists. Chatting and sharing stickers with the community who came out.
.
Thanks so much to @the_great_dane_787 and @therockboxsa for having us out. Big thanks to @l.rhae for all the work she does with @ftkatx and advocating for us to get wall space.
.
Anyways, you won’t find me on some “Artists, it’s our time to get to work” type shih. It’s not the artists’ job to fix this. Most of us already have multiple jobs and are scraping to afford to live. Struggling does not create better art, safety and security does. Over half the country chose for things to get way worse for most of us, unless of course you’re in the billionaire class. And even if you’re in the billionaire class, an uninhabitable planet is still uninhabitable.

Valkyrie Dawn, sibling to Wisteria Moon, was the cosmic creature I summoned for Astronox this year!! @astronoxevents is always such a magical experience. I get inspired creating around so many other insanely skilled artists in attendance, reconnect with festival goers who’ve been in past years, and connect with many friendly loving new people (and Phantoes the cat who I only got video of). Bruh, I got to see Juno Reactor… twice. Younger me was… I don’t even know how to describe what this was like for my younger self, but it was frikkin cool.
.
Big thanks to @nick_sumbles for hosting and curating such an amazing festival and to @thirdcoastbodhi @mermasaur @fy00g and the whole rest of the gallery team for everything you do on the arts front. Shout out to @sereda_rt5 @jagwiredart and @spartanesse_fearnot for being my festie squad throughout the weekend. Thanks to @astral_adventurer & @tomloranz and @mineralsandfossils for being great camping neighbors!! I feel like I have so much more to say, but I’ll leave that for the time lapse reel.

Whoopsie, playing a bit of catch up. Wanted to get this time lapse up of Wisteria Moon at @lustre_pearl_east before moving on to the two other pieces I have painted over the past couple of weeks. I feel like I been saying but: Busy season is busying. I’m doing my best to keep up! 😮‍💨
.
Grateful for people allowing me space to share my art with the world. Thanks again to @mouf_ltd for curating!!

Quick 2-day portal opening at @lustre_pearl_east last Friday and Saturday. I call this piece Wisteria Moon, inspired by our local springs and Texas native plants (wisteria, juniper, lantana, fanwort). The moon was done in the same tones I’d use to color a pearl because what is a moon if not an illustrious pearl in the sky. Honestly, this is the first time I had the chance to paint virgin cinderblock and I was stoked on the opportunity to do a breakthrough wall, so I wanted to do something that spoke to my prettier, more surreal art style. Bringing the peaceful, mystical vibes to the patio peeps.
.
Thanks to @lustre_pearl_east for the delicious food!! Big ups to @mouf_ltd allowing me some wall space in this amazing gallery of murals. And thanks to @thebutcherscrew for letting me tag alongside your Block Party and geek out at all y’all’s talent during your production. Truly inspiring techniques!!

@astronoxevents coming in HAWT. Oct 17-21 at @thevalkyrieranch !! This’ll be my third year co-creating this uplifting space with over 45 talented visionary artists. I’ll be summoning yet another cosmic being over the 5 days of the festival, flowing with the amazing electronic and bass music they’ll have pumping through the space! Get your tickets and come experience it with me!
.
Please enjoy this little look back into my pieces from the 2022 and 2023 Pastronoxes!! I love this festival so much. Just getting to be amongst the rows of visionary canvases being painted and the fire & lyra performers and the large scale installations and insane lighting & projection mapping VFX is so fkn inspiring. I look forward to it (and to reconnecting with all the homies) every year!

Are you thinking “how lucky are we to get two posts in a day!”? I’m thinking holy shite I already have new work to show and have a festival announcement I need to post and I haven’t even finished showing off my last piece. 🥵 Busy season is locked and loaded. Shiyyyyttt, y’all may get another post today… a free Sunday to make my updates is rare during festie szn. 😂

Lil Phathead and I made the trip out to @feteduvoi

Lil Phathead and I made the trip out to @feteduvoid in Oakdale, LA last weekend!! Here’s a time lapse of my 16’x8’ piece Gatai-Hulud that I painted over the three days of the festival and atmosphere clips of @theicemanspecial ‘s magical forest. Amazing arts in the video (in order of appearance) by @mrballoonhandsart (mural), @stephenlikeslearning (live canvas), @snackdoll (Jeep), and @vajoyjoyart (lagniappe pin)!
.
Do you like my little Froggy Hallek? He’s got his little baliset and is cruising to the fête.
.
Big thanks to @studioshelnola and @justschwandering for everything y’all do to keep this fun festival alive. The @feteduvoid hospitality team kept all the artists and volunteers fed three times a day! 🙏🏻 Really enjoyed the lantern making workshop and parade with @jane_tardo and @travelintate. Lighting was so so so good. @pattoncolby built the heck out of that wall and a bunch of other stuff around the grounds. Thanks again for adopting me into your fam, had lots of fun hanging with @emily_gracepatton & @bekah_verde !

I hope y’all are ready to be overwhelmed with some new work. I’m live painting this weekend at @feteduvoid , next weekend on the inside patio of @lustre_pearl_east while the @thebutcherscrew throws it down at their block party, the weekend after that at @astronoxevents… and then maybe some @ftkatx shenanigans after that!! October is busy busy!!

Great times at the @muralsupplyco grand opening!! So excited for y’all to have a space again at @2324atx and so proud of y’all for what you’ve done with it!! Go check out the shop, it looks so good!!
.
I felt super honored to paint alongside so many incredibly skilled artists in this 4-hour jam, including @ftkatx crew mates @taylordpaints & @itscandykuo and the amazing @dogslobber @ponopinto & @wadeindeed !! Also very honored and obviously overjoyed to be trusted to hold the one and only @chupiedoesntgiveameow in the little intermission in the middle.
.
THANK YOU to all my friends who tagged the dumpster on my painting. I’ve been wanting to do an interactive piece like that since I started live painting 4 years ago and I was so freaking happy to have the opportunity to finally do it!! I would tag all of you, but also don’t want to overwhelm anyone with notifications, so feel free to shout yourself out in the comments.

Endlessly grateful to have opportunities to get up

Endlessly grateful to have opportunities to get up on big walls with my @ftkatx ladies. Here’s the time lapse from our most recent prodo at @paintlouisofficial !! I’ll have the extended video + festival recap up on YouTube later this week.
.
This Greek mythology production was led by @taylordpaints ! Again on the wall we had @winkstyles001 @l.rhae @taylordpaints @k4rm_44 and meeee!!! It was a 60+ft long by 16ft high wall that we spent three days painting (plus an hour and a half getting our base coat down on Thursday).
.
Had some really fun memories again at @paintlouisofficial this year. Unfortunately, we were so busy that I didn’t have as much time this year to check out the other parts of the wall! Being up on that ladder for such an extended time really wrecked my legs/ankles/feet up and it took almost a full week for the swelling to return to normal, so walking around in between painting wasn’t really an option. I am so proud of all these hard working ladies and what we did together!!

What a whirlwind weekend with my @ftkatx homies ou

What a whirlwind weekend with my @ftkatx homies out at @paintlouisofficial !! We put up this amazing Ancient Greece themed production! It was a lot of hard work but I am so proud of us: @k4rm_44 @taylordpaints @l.rhae @winkstyles001 !! It’s so cool to have friends who are down to travel across state lines to absolutely bust our asses for three days in the heat to create something amazing together!! It was super fun getting to caravan and make smol mischiefs on our way up with @k4rm_44 and @eye_loves_you .
.
My centaur character was based off the centaurs in Fantasia, but done in my style. This was a movie that my sister and I loved growing up so it felt appropriate for this Ancient Greece themed production. I also designed the @ftkatx column with @taylordpaints help on color matching to tie it in.
.
You know I’ve got the whole thing on time lapse, too!! I am just super exhausted and need to catch up on my other work, but you’ll see that in a few days.

Come see it at The Climb: From Dues to News this Friday through Sunday, 5:30-9:30pm at The Radiator, 830 Airport Blvd.
.
Y’all like how the alien cuties were showing up throughout this video? Very demure. Very mindful. (Also no one is saying this, but @devinhalbal will forever be the only person I think of when I hear demure and I am surprised when I found that this viral moment was not from the doll princess herself.)
.
The fine spray line work was made possible by the @krewline stencil cap. Shout out to the homies who helped hype me up when I was spiraling about that part.

Feeling grateful for some new equipment!! @wagnerspraytech hooked it up with the Titan ControlMax 1650 sprayer recently and it was such a big help for buffing out this huge wall at @therockboxsa for the @ftkatx crew!
.
If you’ve got a painter or home renovator in your life looking for a heavy-duty sprayer, this would make a perfect gift!! 🎁 Hope you’re all having a beautiful couple of days with chosen family, reflecting on feelings of gratitude for the little things that bring you joy in this crazy existence!

Today is @bjork ‘s birthday!! So there is no better time to share this time lapse from this lil @ftkatx music love production at @therockboxsa !! Thanks again to @the_great_dane_787 for having us out! It was so much fun spending a weekend out in San Antonio painting with all the gals.
.
Tag her and wish her a happy birthday! 🥹

Ran away to San Antonio for the weekend and painte

Ran away to San Antonio for the weekend and painted a giant portrait of @bjork , which was basically going back in time and giving my younger self a little kiss on the forehead. The little me who wondered why she was born so strange. Why she yearned for something so impractical as what I am doing today. Who saw Kristi Yamaguchi skate to It’s Oh So Quiet and immediately went and bought her first CD, Post, which started a life long love of Bjork’s music. Music that continued to be the soundtrack to so many moments in my life, speaking directly to my weird little heart and my weird little feelings.
.
Between using my printed reference and listening to the entire Bjork casette tape collection my sister @derpsicles gifted me on the tape deck that my partner gifted me, I focused on having a very analog experience. Unplugging from the very triggering news cycle (as a survivor of restrained assault, coercion, narcissistic manipulation, and men taking advantage of me while unconscious, this shit ain’t cute). We focused on the positive present. Spending time enjoying family style meals with the @ftkatx crew at our AirBnB. Making sure my homies were fed and watered. Laughing with and gassing up the other amazing local lady artists. Chatting and sharing stickers with the community who came out.
.
Thanks so much to @the_great_dane_787 and @therockboxsa for having us out. Big thanks to @l.rhae for all the work she does with @ftkatx and advocating for us to get wall space.
.
Anyways, you won’t find me on some “Artists, it’s our time to get to work” type shih. It’s not the artists’ job to fix this. Most of us already have multiple jobs and are scraping to afford to live. Struggling does not create better art, safety and security does. Over half the country chose for things to get way worse for most of us, unless of course you’re in the billionaire class. And even if you’re in the billionaire class, an uninhabitable planet is still uninhabitable.

Valkyrie Dawn, sibling to Wisteria Moon, was the cosmic creature I summoned for Astronox this year!! @astronoxevents is always such a magical experience. I get inspired creating around so many other insanely skilled artists in attendance, reconnect with festival goers who’ve been in past years, and connect with many friendly loving new people (and Phantoes the cat who I only got video of). Bruh, I got to see Juno Reactor… twice. Younger me was… I don’t even know how to describe what this was like for my younger self, but it was frikkin cool.
.
Big thanks to @nick_sumbles for hosting and curating such an amazing festival and to @thirdcoastbodhi @mermasaur @fy00g and the whole rest of the gallery team for everything you do on the arts front. Shout out to @sereda_rt5 @jagwiredart and @spartanesse_fearnot for being my festie squad throughout the weekend. Thanks to @astral_adventurer & @tomloranz and @mineralsandfossils for being great camping neighbors!! I feel like I have so much more to say, but I’ll leave that for the time lapse reel.

Whoopsie, playing a bit of catch up. Wanted to get this time lapse up of Wisteria Moon at @lustre_pearl_east before moving on to the two other pieces I have painted over the past couple of weeks. I feel like I been saying but: Busy season is busying. I’m doing my best to keep up! 😮‍💨
.
Grateful for people allowing me space to share my art with the world. Thanks again to @mouf_ltd for curating!!

Quick 2-day portal opening at @lustre_pearl_east last Friday and Saturday. I call this piece Wisteria Moon, inspired by our local springs and Texas native plants (wisteria, juniper, lantana, fanwort). The moon was done in the same tones I’d use to color a pearl because what is a moon if not an illustrious pearl in the sky. Honestly, this is the first time I had the chance to paint virgin cinderblock and I was stoked on the opportunity to do a breakthrough wall, so I wanted to do something that spoke to my prettier, more surreal art style. Bringing the peaceful, mystical vibes to the patio peeps.
.
Thanks to @lustre_pearl_east for the delicious food!! Big ups to @mouf_ltd allowing me some wall space in this amazing gallery of murals. And thanks to @thebutcherscrew for letting me tag alongside your Block Party and geek out at all y’all’s talent during your production. Truly inspiring techniques!!

@astronoxevents coming in HAWT. Oct 17-21 at @thevalkyrieranch !! This’ll be my third year co-creating this uplifting space with over 45 talented visionary artists. I’ll be summoning yet another cosmic being over the 5 days of the festival, flowing with the amazing electronic and bass music they’ll have pumping through the space! Get your tickets and come experience it with me!
.
Please enjoy this little look back into my pieces from the 2022 and 2023 Pastronoxes!! I love this festival so much. Just getting to be amongst the rows of visionary canvases being painted and the fire & lyra performers and the large scale installations and insane lighting & projection mapping VFX is so fkn inspiring. I look forward to it (and to reconnecting with all the homies) every year!

Are you thinking “how lucky are we to get two posts in a day!”? I’m thinking holy shite I already have new work to show and have a festival announcement I need to post and I haven’t even finished showing off my last piece. 🥵 Busy season is locked and loaded. Shiyyyyttt, y’all may get another post today… a free Sunday to make my updates is rare during festie szn. 😂

Lil Phathead and I made the trip out to @feteduvoi

Lil Phathead and I made the trip out to @feteduvoid in Oakdale, LA last weekend!! Here’s a time lapse of my 16’x8’ piece Gatai-Hulud that I painted over the three days of the festival and atmosphere clips of @theicemanspecial ‘s magical forest. Amazing arts in the video (in order of appearance) by @mrballoonhandsart (mural), @stephenlikeslearning (live canvas), @snackdoll (Jeep), and @vajoyjoyart (lagniappe pin)!
.
Do you like my little Froggy Hallek? He’s got his little baliset and is cruising to the fête.
.
Big thanks to @studioshelnola and @justschwandering for everything y’all do to keep this fun festival alive. The @feteduvoid hospitality team kept all the artists and volunteers fed three times a day! 🙏🏻 Really enjoyed the lantern making workshop and parade with @jane_tardo and @travelintate. Lighting was so so so good. @pattoncolby built the heck out of that wall and a bunch of other stuff around the grounds. Thanks again for adopting me into your fam, had lots of fun hanging with @emily_gracepatton & @bekah_verde !

Fun little Fruity Cuties piece down at @rositasalpastor inspired by their delicious agua fresca!! Big thanks to @artxsire for inviting me out to paint on this wall again!!
.
I hope y’all are ready to be overwhelmed with some new work. I’m live painting this weekend at @feteduvoid , next weekend on the inside patio of @lustre_pearl_east while the @thebutcherscrew throws it down at their block party, the weekend after that at @astronoxevents… and then maybe some @ftkatx shenanigans after that!! October is busy busy!!

Great times at the @muralsupplyco grand opening!! So excited for y’all to have a space again at @2324atx and so proud of y’all for what you’ve done with it!! Go check out the shop, it looks so good!!
.
I felt super honored to paint alongside so many incredibly skilled artists in this 4-hour jam, including @ftkatx crew mates @taylordpaints & @itscandykuo and the amazing @dogslobber @ponopinto & @wadeindeed !! Also very honored and obviously overjoyed to be trusted to hold the one and only @chupiedoesntgiveameow in the little intermission in the middle.
.
THANK YOU to all my friends who tagged the dumpster on my painting. I’ve been wanting to do an interactive piece like that since I started live painting 4 years ago and I was so freaking happy to have the opportunity to finally do it!! I would tag all of you, but also don’t want to overwhelm anyone with notifications, so feel free to shout yourself out in the comments.

Endlessly grateful to have opportunities to get up

Endlessly grateful to have opportunities to get up on big walls with my @ftkatx ladies. Here’s the time lapse from our most recent prodo at @paintlouisofficial !! I’ll have the extended video + festival recap up on YouTube later this week.
.
This Greek mythology production was led by @taylordpaints ! Again on the wall we had @winkstyles001 @l.rhae @taylordpaints @k4rm_44 and meeee!!! It was a 60+ft long by 16ft high wall that we spent three days painting (plus an hour and a half getting our base coat down on Thursday).
.
Had some really fun memories again at @paintlouisofficial this year. Unfortunately, we were so busy that I didn’t have as much time this year to check out the other parts of the wall! Being up on that ladder for such an extended time really wrecked my legs/ankles/feet up and it took almost a full week for the swelling to return to normal, so walking around in between painting wasn’t really an option. I am so proud of all these hard working ladies and what we did together!!

What a whirlwind weekend with my @ftkatx homies ou

What a whirlwind weekend with my @ftkatx homies out at @paintlouisofficial !! We put up this amazing Ancient Greece themed production! It was a lot of hard work but I am so proud of us: @k4rm_44 @taylordpaints @l.rhae @winkstyles001 !! It’s so cool to have friends who are down to travel across state lines to absolutely bust our asses for three days in the heat to create something amazing together!! It was super fun getting to caravan and make smol mischiefs on our way up with @k4rm_44 and @eye_loves_you .
.
My centaur character was based off the centaurs in Fantasia, but done in my style. This was a movie that my sister and I loved growing up so it felt appropriate for this Ancient Greece themed production. I also designed the @ftkatx column with @taylordpaints help on color matching to tie it in.
.
You know I’ve got the whole thing on time lapse, too!! I am just super exhausted and need to catch up on my other work, but you’ll see that in a few days.

Come see it at The Climb: From Dues to News this Friday through Sunday, 5:30-9:30pm at The Radiator, 830 Airport Blvd.

Y’all like how the alien cuties were showing up throughout this video? Very demure. Very mindful. (Also no one is saying this, but @devinhalbal will forever be the only person I think of when I hear demure and I am surprised when I found that this viral moment was not from the doll princess herself.)
.
The fine spray line work was made possible by the @krewline stencil cap. Shout out to the homies who helped hype me up when I was spiraling about that part.
