April Inspiration

By Nichole Camarillo
(This post will be updated throughout month)
Isn't it nice to see an image and think, "Wow, that really made me feel something." Well, lately I've been liking it more when I come across an image and think, "Wow, that really made me feel what I'm already feeling." If that makes any sense. With my birthday coming up at the end of the month, I've been doing a lot of reflecting. There's a lot of reasons I would say an image "inspires" me; It's badass, it's skillful, it's interesting, it's fresh, it's full of light or love, and so on. But the general experience would be that its emotion is created at surface level. The experience the latter of the "Wows" brings is not creating anything. It's merely churning what's already inside. Is it making sense now? Anyway, maybe these [seemingly] random images can help you feel what you're already feeling...

Art Never Dies: A Mac Named DRE

By Nichole Camarillo
Yeah, yeah. I blew off finishing up work on Sunday to drink wine, eat chocolate, lounge on zee (that's French for "the") couch and watch Jurassic Park. Thus, resulting in a delayed release. For those of you that were looking forward to yesterday's new painting release, I apologize. For those of you that have no idea that I'm coming late with this- YAY! NEW RELEASE TODAY! YAY! I'm on time with EVERYTHING! YAY! Aren't you SO excited?! :D

Sneak Peek: Mac Dre

By Nichole Camarillo
Alright, this has got to be the most fun portrait yet. I am SO in love with how it came out. Not only that, but the process was just as entertaining for me. You guys are really going to like how it came out. The colors, the expression, the fact that it's MAC DRE[!]... come on now. If you're an awesome Facebook Fan, then you already got a little taste of the progress last night. But today I finished the painting, so I wanted to share with everyone. Ready?
