2015 news in 2016

i skipped a whole year of posting so here are all the things i did in 2015. or some of them, anyway. painted this mural in San Francisco thanks to Rocha Art Gallery. this mural is on an elementary school at Texas and 20th streets.

 

i painted this mural in Manila, Philippines! my biggest one ever.

 i got to decorate this stage with Magic Diamonds at Outside Lands in Golden Gate Park in SF!

 and here's the biggest Magic Hecksagon I ever painted, which is on the wall outside Rocha Gallery.

i also interview lots of artists every month for Juxtapoz where i'm now the deputy editor. this was my favorite from 2015, i interviewed Chris Ware for the cover.
also still working on making videos about artists for KQED Art School.

here's another mural commission in SF.

and i made tons of other paintings as usual!


in 2016 i will be painting some murals and will be in a couple of art shows that i will hopefully remember to post here.

Newz

so many things!

in november i painted a mural in Honolulu on Waikiki Beach at the new urban outfitters store thanks to my friends at Pow! Wow! Hawaii. you can see more cool pictures of the mural in progress on their blog.

and they did a pretty neat studio visit at my house before i headed to hawaii to paint the mural, more cool pictures!

in october i painted this huge heart for the SF General annual Hearts in SF fundraiser. it will be auctioned in february 2015.

then these utility boxes in Walnut creek got wrapped in vinyl prints of my paintings...

and then this huge 50 foot wall on Market Street in San Francisco was wrapped in a giant vinyl print of a painting i made, customized for this spot. it's between 6th and 7th street and should be there for about three years!

 
also made this little installation at Empire 7 Studios in san jose for a show called broad spectrum with all female artists in December. you can sit with the monster guy named leif and gaze at the super sonic sunset.

if you always wanted to wear super sonic sunsets, magic hecksagons and diamonds all over your legs and arms, you can now purchase stuff with my paintings on it at rare.skyou.com.

i have continued to interview a bunch of artists for Juxtapoz Magazine and make videos for my Art School video series. here are two of my Jux cover stories that i was pretty stoked about (jenny morgan and andy rementer).

i also got to do my first print release and sell some paintings with the good folks at 1xRUN. mohawk paper, y'all.

phew! i feel very lucky and happy about all of these nice things that happened. and you know what else? happy holidays!

3 Things!

My husband Jeff and I made an installation for the 2014 Bay Area Now Triennial at Yerba Buena Center for the Arts. We were chosen by the kind people at Adobe Books Backroom Gallery to be in this show. We built a huge 21 x 12' wall, which is a tribute to our friend Shawn.

I painted a mural at the Taipei City Zoo for Pow! Wow! Taiwan. I had the best time ever.

And earlier this year, I was in a really fun show called New Neon at the Bedford Gallery.

2013 is Golden

some exciting things have happened this year! my new APP came out! It's called FARR OUT Get it. you can use it to make magical pictures.

and i won an EMMY. seriously. i really did. it was for a video i made.

NO BIG DEAL

september's Jux was super special. i got to hang out with one of my all-time favorites, the great David Shrigley, while he made the clay letters in his portrait below. AND THEN i also did a cover story on the legendary Daniel Clowes, whose comics and movies i've loved for years. interviewing both of these dudes in one month was a dream. they were very gracious and cool as hell.

business plants

new items

made some magic diamond fabric which immediately began to haunt me.

got some vintage craft mags from porous walker so i made these fancy collages.

made some paintings as big as a house.
