Yay! :D I've put the finishing touches on my book and mailed it off to the Brooklyn Art Library, where the tour will begin. This is a 9-City tour that will cover the U.S. between February and July of this year. It's a pretty awesome (and pretty massive) project. Basically, it's a touring library of sketchbooks from all over the world. Just like a library, there will be different categories of sketchbooks to browse through and "check out". My sketchbook will be placed within the category, "I'm Sorry I Forgot You".&nbsp;</div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br /></div><img src="http://s3.amazonaws.com/data.arthousecoop.com/submission_image/18360/big/022b6df5.jpg?1305840936" width="520" /><br /><br /><div style="text-align: justify;">Within the pages of my sketchbook, I explore the emotion surrounding the love and loss of my Father. At the start of this project, there were still a lot of negative feelings lingering from his death. I felt like working on this sketchbook would be a positive, and greatly needed, release for that. For anything I still needed to say or acknowledge. And it definitely was.</div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br /></div><img src="http://s3.amazonaws.com/data.arthousecoop.com/submission_image/18354/big/1c8052b4.jpg?1305840909" width="520" /><br /><br /><div style="text-align: justify;">I was able to purely and effortlessly unleash those thoughts and emotions as quickly as they came. It was amazing. It was such a wonderful and liberating experience to work on this project. I'm so happy I did. And I'm even more excited about sharing it with you guys. Unlike any other exhibits I've been a part of, this one will be able to reach so many more of you. Now complete, the book will first tour the United States, then take a permanent home in the Brooklyn Art Library.&nbsp;</div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br /></div><img src="http://s3.amazonaws.com/data.arthousecoop.com/submission_image/18362/big/f3e4fc2c.jpg?1305840945" width="520" /><br /><br /><div style="text-align: justify;">I'm currently working on getting prints made for those of you that are expressing interest. As for the real deal, I hope you check it out on tour in the city nearest you.

It's been SO long since I've been able to share a new painting with you. Probably a good six months. :/ But I've finally settled in and set up in my new place/studio and have been painting, painting, painting! It's time to show you guys what I've been up to. Are you excited? ...Because I'm REALLY excited. I'm currently working on wrapping up a time-lapse video to go along with this new painting release. Once that's good to go, I'll reveal this beauty in it's entirety.

It's been a long and exciting road in this painting series. But this new painting marks the end of the "Art Never Dies" portraits. Which means I now bring to you... That's right... Michael. Jackson. :D It was such a beautiful experience working on this painting and video. And although choosing which songs would make the cut was the most difficult part by FAR, everything took a lot of hard work. I'm so proud of this series, and have had so much fun with it. I really want to thank you guys for being a part of it. Now, I introduce to you... The King of Pop. </div><br /><center>"ART NEVER DIES: THE KING OF POP" by Nichole Camarillo<br /><img src="http://i1012.photobucket.com/albums/af249/nixbucket/mjblogpost_01.jpg" /><br /><img src="http://i1012.photobucket.com/albums/af249/nixbucket/mjblogpost_06.jpg" /><br /><img src="http://i1012.photobucket.com/albums/af249/nixbucket/mjblogpost_07.jpg" /><br />[Above: close up of shoulder detail]<br /><img src="http://i1012.photobucket.com/albums/af249/nixbucket/mjblogpost_05.jpg" /><br />[Above: close up of hair detail]<br /></center><div style="text-align: justify;">I definitely wanted to give you some zoomed in shots first. As you're about to see in the final image, almost all of the metallic gold and silver detail is lost when shrunken down so small. Basically, when looking at the end image, anything you see that is yellow, is actually a super awesome twinkling gold. Lol. And anything gray is actually silver. Here we go...</div><center><img src="http://behance.vo.llnwd.net/profiles/72883/projects/542761/6939317e1fd0088cee16984081f86dc7.jpg" width="520" /></center><br /><div style="text-align: justify;">YAY! Michael! <br />I appreciated different things about each artist in this series before beginning. And through the process of painting their portrait and making these videos, I've been able to appreciate them in a whole new light. Especially Michael. <br /><br />I was a very big fan of his music before his passing and was <a href="http://nicholecamarillo.blogspot.com/2009/06/michael-jackson-is-dead.html">horribly saddened by the news</a>. But I don't think I really understood how deep and powerful his music actually was. Or how sad and fragile he himself actually was. Or how, despite all of the negativity surrounding him, he was able to affect so many MILLIONS of people in such a positive way. He was an incredible force. And I really <i>felt</i> that while working on this project. So on that note, let's take a look at the time-lapse... &nbsp;</div><br /><object height="300" width="520"><param name="movie" value="http://www.youtube.com/v/Wa0takweWwI&hl=en_US&fs=1&rel=0"></param><param name="allowFullScreen" value="true"></param><param name="allowscriptaccess" value="always"></param><embed src="http://www.youtube.com/v/Wa0takweWwI&hl=en_US&fs=1&rel=0" type="application/x-shockwave-flash" allowscriptaccess="always" allowfullscreen="true" width="520" height="300"></embed></object><br /><br /><div style="text-align: justify;">You guys usually only see the end result. Or, with this series, you've also been able to see a quick 3-5 minute video of the painting process. But there are sometimes <b>weeks</b> of research, of learning, of really getting to KNOW as much as I can about each of these people. Regardless of how much I thought I had already known. Going through so many photos, watching and reading so many interviews, watching and reading how other people perceived them, finding out what they did with life, what they gave, who they knew, who they loved, who THEY were fans of... all of it. There were even songs of Michael's&nbsp; that I absolutely hated before this project. But I really sat down and listened to each and every one of those songs. REALLY listened. Now... I think they may even be some of my favorites. Lol.</div><br /><div style="text-align: justify;">I do all of that with one goal in mind. So that even in such a simple, minimal, not even close to photo-realistic portrait, the viewer can still say- Wow... that really is him. That really is Michael Jackson. And that really is <a href="http://nicholecamarillo.blogspot.com/2010/04/art-never-dies-mac-named-dre.html">Mac Dre</a>. And <a href="http://nicholecamarillo.blogspot.com/2010/03/art-never-dies-master-of-self.html">Bruce Lee</a>, and <a href="http://nicholecamarillo.blogspot.com/2010/03/art-never-dies-marilyn-monroe.html">Marilyn Monroe</a>, and <a href="http://nicholecamarillo.blogspot.com/2010/02/art-never-dies-la-friducha-fuerte.html">Frida Kahlo</a>. I just wanted to feel like I really connected to each artist. And then through <b>my</b> art, show you what I've seen.</div><br /><center><img src="http://i1012.photobucket.com/albums/af249/nixbucket/mjblogpost_08.jpg"></center><br /><div style="text-align: justify;">Thank you guys SO much for sticking with me through this project.

I'm sorry I haven't had much time to share what it is I've been working on. There is a LOT to come. May and June are going to be crazy for me. I will try my best to keep you guys up to date with all the cool things happening and all the crazy art I'm creating. Speaking of which... I have a new painting I am SO over the top thrilled with. It was such a fun one to do. This painting will be on display in an upcoming show that's right around the corner. More details on that soon. Right now, let me introduce the newest insanity in my collection.</div><br /><div style="text-align: center;">"The Way We Get By" by Nichole Camarillo</div><div style="text-align: center;"><img src="http://i1012.photobucket.com/albums/af249/nixbucket/n_camarillo_wolfblog004.jpg" width="520" /></div><div style="text-align: center;"><img src="http://i1012.photobucket.com/albums/af249/nixbucket/n_camarillo_wolfblog001.jpg" /></div><div style="text-align: center;"><img src="http://i1012.photobucket.com/albums/af249/nixbucket/n_camarillo_wolfblog002.jpg" /></div><br /><div style="text-align: justify;">I told you it's insanity. ;) Oh oh oh!

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...</div><br /><br /><center><img src="http://i41.tinypic.com/rhj12w.jpg" /><br /><img src="http://i43.tinypic.com/65xwms.jpg" /><br /><img src="http://i40.tinypic.com/2807906.jpg" /><br /><img src="http://i40.tinypic.com/4sfy2c.jpg" /><br /><a href="http://www.wordboner.com/" target="_blank">via</a><br /><img src="http://i39.tinypic.com/wio9iv.jpg" /><br /><a href="http://www.burdu976.com/?p=317" target="_blank">via</a><br /><img src="http://i39.tinypic.com/1s09si.jpg" /><br /><img src="http://i40.tinypic.com/2q2ejqh.jpg" /><br /><img src="http://i43.tinypic.com/2mfciu0.jpg" /><br /><img src="http://i42.tinypic.com/2cmq1vm.jpg" /><br /><img src="http://i39.tinypic.com/zu14p0.jpg" /><br /><img src="http://i44.tinypic.com/m7ygpc.jpg" /><br /><img src="http://i44.tinypic.com/28ssbjr.jpg" /><br /><a href="http://www.behance.net/LisaBlack/frame/viewall" target="_blank">via</a><br /><img src="http://i43.tinypic.com/315zy48.jpg" /><br /><a href="http://www.wordsarepictures.co.uk/" target="_blank">via</a><br /></center><br /><div style="text-align: justify;">As I can't always locate them myself, please let me know if you're aware of original sources.

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.

So, switch up some of the black to whatever colors you prefer.

FRIDA! XD For those of you that don't know, this woman's paintings are the reason I started painting. Her life, her struggle, her every tiny speck of being have heavily influenced my perspective on art, as well as my personal expression <i>through</i> my art. I was introduced to her paintings... ohhhh... about 10 years ago? Before that I had no interest in painting or in any paintings I had ever seen. And then... along came Frida. This beautiful, strong, demanding, powerful force of nature. This incredible woman has poured her heart out for the world to see. Her love, her pain, her misfortune, her mistakes. At that point in my life, I could not believe that someone (a woman at that) could be so horribly, brutally, honest. And proud of it. So proud of everything she was and stood for. She had absolutely no shame in who she was, how she lived, what she wanted, or how she'd get it. SAVAGE. Really though. Frida Kahlo was a savage. ass. woman. And I love her for teaching me that. </div><br /><div style="text-align: justify;">This entire series of paintings is definitely a fun one for me. And I was definitely careful in choosing which artists to allow you to see through my eyes. But Frida... maaaan oh man... hands down, most personal of the series. It was a pleasure. It was an honor. I'm only sorry I didn't do this sooner. And as promised... my trip along the way...

If you were able to get past my ghastly winter (lack of) color, then you now know about my NEW project. The first new painting is releasing this Tuesday. Lots of great things to come with this project. <br /><br /><br />As you know, the title of this new project is "Art Never Dies". It's a really cool portrait series focusing on dead celebrity artists. Initially there will be 5 new paintings in this project. Frida Kahlo, Marilyn Monroe, Bruce Lee, Mac Dre,&nbsp; and Michael Jackson. So 'artist', of course, has a wide range of meaning. In the initial five portraits, we have a painter, an actress, a martial artist, a rapper, and a singer. Each of these artists were hand picked for different personal reasons. Aside from the personal, the main reasons (and things they all have in common) are as follows: They are all deceased, they are all artists, and their art still lives on. Art is forever. Art inspires and teaches and entertains far beyond the life span of the artist. With "Art Never Dies" I wanted to give nod to that fact. I also want to pay a little tribute to some of the artists that are still inspiring, teaching, and entertaining me with/through their art.<br /><br />I'm trying a few new things with this project. The style these portraits are being created in is far more minimal than what you would usually see from me. The technique is also very new for me. In order to achieve the look and feel I envision for these portraits, I have been haphazardly layering paint over masked sections made with stencil cut outs I have created for each individual artist. Sort of a 'controlled chaos'. The subject matter is also new to me. This is the first time I am attacking portraits, much less well-known people. It's been <b>really </b>fun and <b>really </b>exciting. And there's still so much more to go.<br /><br />Another cool thing about this project is that you will get to watch some of these portraits go down. I am inviting you into my space to watch me and my brushes go nuts. I will be recording my painting process and releasing time-lapse videos with the corresponding portraits. Less than a handful of people have ever caught a glimpse of me painting. And I've never allowed even the closest family member to watch a <i>whole</i> painting go down. So this should be interesting. <br /><br />You can keep updated on this project and each new release by following this blog, becoming a <a href="http://www.facebook.com/pages/Nichole-Camarillo/143156929644" target="_blank">Facebook</a> fan, or following me on <a href="http://twitter.com/dirtyprettynix" target="_blank">Twitter</a>. Thanks! :)</div><br /><span style="background-color: white;">Side note:</span><br /><div style="text-align: justify;">Now that we know who <i>my</i> picks are, I want to know who <i>you</i> think would be a great addition to this series.

Sweet Snow is taking the Disney bad girl lead and unleashing her inner gangster for all the land to see. No need to choose between naughty and nice this season... Let your two halves join hands and celebrate the incredibly delightful glow of the miggedy miggedy MAC apple. (That was a Kid Frost reference, for you youngins that didn't get it.) This super sweet vinyl decal can be used to spruce up any laptop, but is obviously meant to accentuate the best.

If you happen to light up, then you know the feeling... Fuuuu** it's so cold outside, but I reeeeally need a cigarette, but fuuuuuu**$#%#! Yeah. I've been there. Where, no matter how much you bundle up, you're ultimately gonna end up with frozen hands. Or completely disgusting need-to-throw-them-away-NOW gloves and a thrice fallen camel. NOT fun. And if nothing else, destroying your heart, lungs, skin, and all-around cleanliness should at LEAST be fun. Yeah? YEAH! Bitchin! Pick up a pair for yourself at <a href="http://www.suck.uk.com/product.php?rangeID=69&amp;catID=9" target="_blank">SUCK UK</a> for £20.00 (or about $30 bucks).

Oh, and by "God", I of course mean "Everybody knows you're hiding porn and nobody cares but if a false sense of security helps you look her in the eye...". ;D Sure, in theory, a fingerprint security flash drive is a wonderful innovation. Thus, making it a fun find. But... really? Really? -Trust, if what you're up to is actually legit and worth the ridiculousness of a fingerprint security <i>anything</i> then it would also be worth it for the intruder to cop your fingerprint (surprisingly doable) for unlocking purposes.

Definitely worth it to head over and check out. <br /></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: justify;">Choose any painting to be printed (28 different paintings available), choose any size (sizes run from 11"x 15" to 52"x 69"), and choose any media (from basic poster to gloss canvas).

Not many, however, actually have the balls to stand up and say it. Very few are willing to step out and shake things up, in hopes of sharing and conveying what it is they have to say. I think that's what's so intriguing about street art. A street artist is not only willing to step out and speak up, but they risk numerous penalties to leave their message out in the open for everyone to see and ponder. Peter Gibson, better known as Roadsworth, is one of those artists. <br /></div><center><img src="http://i36.tinypic.com/1h6xqc.jpg" /><br /><img src="http://i36.tinypic.com/9fp75v.jpg" /><br /><img src="http://i37.tinypic.com/2a4wrvp.jpg" /><br /><img src="http://i37.tinypic.com/2vlptmo.jpg" /></center><br /><div style="text-align: justify;">Peter's style is so subtle that it would be very easy to pass it off as something less than what it is. Especially since there are no words to accompany his visuals. But rather than push his own words, his art is more of an invitation to come about your own. His intention is not to impose his opinions, but to push back at the ones imposing on him. He states, "An open-ended quality of expression would lend itself better to interpretation and dialogue than the "FUCK BUSH" or "OIL=WAR" kind of language that is typical of a protester‘s placard and that I felt people had become desensitized to."<br /></div><center><img src="http://i33.tinypic.com/fvbpyf.jpg" /><br /><img src="http://i33.tinypic.com/5tuhhz.jpg" /><br /><img src="http://i38.tinypic.com/24dhrap.jpg" /><br /><span style="font-size: x-small;">[My personal favorite, "Affordable Housing"]</span></center><center><span style="font-size: x-small;">&nbsp;</span></center><br /><div style="text-align: justify;">If you're interested in the full breakdown of what he does and why he does it, definitely check out his website, <a href="http://www.roadsworth.com/" target="_blank">Roadsworth.com</a>. You'll find much more of his work there, as well as a little insight to what each piece is about.

What's the coolest thing you've seen paint do? Too late- K, Look at this...<br /></div><div style="text-align: center;"><img src="http://i30.tinypic.com/2lj0sb6.jpg" width="500" /><br /></div><div style="text-align: center;"><img src="http://i32.tinypic.com/3005gzd.jpg" width="500" /><br /></div><span style="text-align: justify;"><br /><span style="font-weight: bold;">Tell</span> me that's not awesome. You can't. Well, you could, but then you'd be a liar. These photos were taken by photographer, Mark Mawson. Unimpressed with the mundane and repetitive slew of photos he had been seeing of ink in water, he thought to kick it up a notch. By experimenting with different paints and densities, Mark was able to bring a bit more body (and a lot more life) into the mix. It's incredible how <span style="font-weight: bold;">much</span> life and you can see in these photos. They're so full of energy and evoke so many thoughts and images. Which is actually one of things Mark loves about these photos.<br /></span><br /><br /><div style="text-align: center;"><img src="http://i25.tinypic.com/lxzjn.jpg" width="500" /><br /></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br /><blockquote>"...People see different things in them and they can make their own mind up about what they look like. Comments I've had range from looking like jelly fish, sea creatures, alien worlds, old men even Jimmy Hendrix setting fire to his guitar."<br /></blockquote></div><br /><div style="text-align: center;"><img src="http://i28.tinypic.com/55fm8l.jpg" width="500" /><br /></div><br /><div style="text-align: center;"><img src="http://behance.vo.llnwd.net/profiles/53691/projects/46946/536911194240956.jpg" width="500" /><br /></div><br /><div style="text-align: justify;">Now, as much as I'd love to both embarrass myself <span style="font-style: italic;">and</span> scare you guys, I think I'll leave my thoughts of what I see off the Freudian chopping block for today. I would love to know what you guys think, though. Your thoughts are always so much more sane. It's comforting. And for those of you who are as curious as I was to find out what it is the artist sees, I went ahead and got the juice for ya. Mark's favorite is the white drop (up toward the top of the photos) because it seems so pure and calming. What he sees in it is a strange jellyfish hovering above some strange cloud.<br /></div><br /><div style="text-align: justify;">Big thanks to Mr. Mawson for taking a moment and answering some questions of mine. You can check out more photos from this set, titled 'Aqueous', and more styles from this artist on his website, <a href="http://www.markmawson.com/" target="_blank">MarkMawson.com</a>.

YAAY!! This is such exciting news, you guys. So, of course, I wanted to share it with you. For those of you that are awesome and frequent my store, you may already know that my store is powered by Zazzle. Artsprojekt is also powered by Zazzle, but its big shit. For those of you who are curious about the differences, I'll help you out with that in a minute. First, I wanted to give you a general idea of what Artsprojekt is. Andy Howell, the founder of Artsprojekt, describes it as 'a playground in which the world's most creative individuals and brands can turn unique ideas into dynamic product experiences that best represent each individual artist and brand.' And I think that most clearly and briefly sums it up.<br /><br />So basically they pick the creme of the crop from across the globe and invite them to participate. Artprojekt currently works with brands such as OBEY by Shepard Fairey, NorCal Skateboards, and Crooks &amp; Castles. They also currently work with an elite group of dope artists, representing themselves individually. And yours truly is now one of those artists. Woot.<br /><br /></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="text-align: justify;"><img align="right" hspace="10" src="http://i205.photobucket.com/albums/bb253/nic_e8484/artsinvite.jpg" vspace="10" width="300" /> Now, I want to give you a heads up. When you go to my shop, the storefront will look much different. In accepting the invitation, I also gave up customization of my shop [boo]. I was told I should have better control over that kind of stuff come mid-winter. But currently every Artsprojekt storefront has the same general look and feel, so mine will take that on as well. Please don't mind the very awkward right column that is built in but, as far as I can tell, serves no purpose. Everything else works about the same. You can still browse around my shop the same. All of my products are still available to you. And everything still is 100% backed by Zazzle. It's just that now I get to sit with the cool kids. Seriously though. This means more opportunities to be involved in cool projects, exhibits, and other art related awesomeness. Cheers to that!</span><br /><br /></div><div style="text-align: justify;">I can't help but be so inspired right now. I just want to create really badass designs and products. I have so many ideas racing around my head right now competing for my full attention... It's great. This is probably going to snowball into something huge. You guys watch out for that. Well... it is time to bid adieu friends.

Generally about how much people love it and how cool they think it is. Emails I receive from designers and developers are much more technical and nerdy but still add up to the same. ;) Now, I'm never one to claim on someone else's hard work and glory. Although all of the photos and paintings you see are from yours truly, I couldn't put a website together if you were holding a gun to my head. Any design, flash, blah blah meh you see on my website is WAY over my head. It's like quantum physics to me. Yeah sure, I get the general idea... but going toe to toe for all twelve rounds? ...Not happening.<br /></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br />Anyway, as much as I rave about the design and designer behind the curtains of the Nichole Camarillo project, he has been extremely unavailable to take on any new projects for about the past year. So, not a lot of you have been as lucky as I have been to work with him. Until now, that is. :D I received an email this morning sharing that not only is he open to taking on new clients, but he is running some pretty sweet specials. Some of the projects <a href="http://www.romestudios.com/" target="_blank">Rome Studios</a> has attacked for me include: Flyers, E-Flyers, Business Cards, Web Graphics, Flash Banners, Web Design &amp; Development. It doesn't matter if you're a well established business or are just starting one, you <b>need</b> these services. Like, <span style="font-style: italic;">really</span> need. So for those of you that have been asking and wondering, I strongly suggest hitting him up as soon as you can. Herrre goes (most of) the email...<br /></div><center>________________________________________________</center><br /><div style="text-align: justify;">For the past year I was working on assignments with an awesome Interactive Agency in SF, Agency.com.

Even the little things don't receive much enthusiasm from me. I don't like baseball. Apple pie creeps me out. I haven't seen a fireworks display in who knows how many Fourth of July's. I mean, even terrorists can get behind a colorful explosion, right? Right. My point is, even if you're coming to me with something I <span style="font-style: italic;">am </span>interested in like, let's say... some paintings? But these paintings are of... hmm... United States Presidents, maybe? You have a time frame even Speedy Gonzalez couldn't break through, before my attention span has ran for the hills <span style="font-weight: bold;">never </span>to return. Yeah.<br /><br />Having recently came across such presidential pieces and NOT running, I figured the least I could do is showcase them for you guys. Why did I not run, you ask? What is it about these paintings of our country's leaders that didn't bore me to death? Well, if your attention span is longer than mine, and you can think back to the title of this blog post, you may just have your answer. Ready? You're not ready. ...Okay, ready? On three. One... Tw-<br /></div><div style="text-align: center;"><img src="http://i26.tinypic.com/2zribr5.png" /><br /></div><div style="text-align: justify;">I know, I know. I didn't count to three. Oh, and yes, you <span style="font-weight: bold;">did</span> just see Abraham Lincoln receiving fellatio. <span style="font-style: italic;">Creeeepy</span>. The woman in the painting is the artist who painted it. Creepi<span style="font-style: italic;">errrr.</span> Nevertheless, if there is anything that can sustain my flighty focus, twisted art and sex would definitely top the list. *shrug<br /></div><br /><img src="http://i29.tinypic.com/icr4w6.png" align="right" hspace="10" vspace="5" width="250" /><div style="text-align: justify;">Justine Lai's series of paintings entitled 'Join Or Die', are a collection of portraits of the artist in various sexual positions with United States Presidents (in chronological order). In these portraits, Justine hopes to "locate something intimate and mortal". So, if you haven't been keeping up, humanizing elite historical figures means you must have sex with them in your head and then show everyone what went down.<br />Aaand <span style="font-style: italic;">how</span>! ;D<br /><br />Sure to ruffle some feathers and raise some eyebrows, including herself in this vulnerable mess is Justine's way of playing a fair game.<br /><br />Although the artist explains herself and her art very clearly, that doesn't make me want to call <span style="font-weight: bold;">kinky power-trip</span> any less. Don't get me wrong, I have absolutely no problem with a kinky power-trip. I'm just saying... Call something what it is.<br /><br />So, what do you think... Is the artist truly touching on her so-called 'playful', 'tender' and 'humanizing act' with these portraits? Or is she exploiting these men and their roles at all costs to resolve some of her own personal issues?<br /></div><br />...Mmhmm. Well, either way... I enjoyed them. :)<br />For more in this series, or for more about the artist, please visit <a href="http://justinelai.com/" target="_blank">her website</a>.<br /><!-- AddThis Button BEGIN --><br /><div class="addthis_toolbox addthis_default_style" title="data:post.title" url="data:post.url"><a href="http://www.addthis.com/bookmark.php?v=250&amp;pub=nicholecamarillo" class="addthis_button_compact">Share</a><span class="addthis_separator">|</span><a class="addthis_button_facebook"></a><a class="addthis_button_myspace"></a><a class="addthis_button_google"></a><a class="addthis_button_twitter"></a><br /></div><br /><script type="text/javascript" src="http://s7.addthis.com/js/250/addthis_widget.js?pub=nicholecamarillo"></script><br /><!-- AddThis Button END --><script type="text/javascript"><br />var gaJsHost = (("https:" == document.location.protocol) ?

[Impatient people; <a href="http://nicholecamarillo.com/gallery/addictfordramatics/" target="_blank">VIEW NOW</a>] As with every new painting in this project, the product line is now available in the form of t-shirts, sweaters, mousepads, stickers, hats, bags, keychains, mugs and more. Skateboard and shoes coming soon. Also, you may now cop this painting in print sizes up to 52" X 69". That's <span style="font-weight: bold; font-style: italic;">massive</span>. There are only a select few of my paintings that are available in this size. I strongly suggest picking one up for yourself. <span style="font-style: italic;">especially </span>with the current 50% off print sale. You can view all of the products in this line at my shop.

The fourth and final sneak peek in July's 'One A Week' project. In the Round Four video I told you the painting was going to be 'out of control insane'. Well, this sneak peek will only confirm that. In this new painting, you will get a glimpse of both my dreams and nightmares at their finest. Whether that's a good or a bad thing, we'll just have to wait and see. Now, I know with each round's new release, I've given you a small taste before letting you sink your teeth in, but <span style="font-style: italic;">this </span>Betty might actually bite back. ;)<br /><br />The full painting, details, and product line will launch tomorrow. But before I allow her to devour you completely, why don't you give her a taste...<br /></div><center><br /><span style="font-weight: bold;">Release Four of Four</span> - By Nichole Camarillo<br /><img src="http://i205.photobucket.com/albums/bb253/nic_e8484/AddictSnippetsTall.jpg" /></center><br />OOOOoooohhh... Lol. I am <span style="font-weight: bold;">so </span>excited to share this one with you. :D<br /><div style="text-align: justify;">Whether you'll be disturbed by it or not, is irrelevant. You're going to love it. This is the first time I have ever painted something of this nature. Although I was a bit uncomfortable painting this one, I was definitely <span style="font-style: italic;">more </span>uncomfortable <span style="font-weight: bold;">not</span> painting it. I had to share this. I had to paint this. I wish I could have somehow shared the actual dream with you. <span style="font-style: italic;">T</span><span style="font-style: italic;">hat</span> was <span style="font-weight: bold;">Queen </span>of 'out of control'. Lol. I hope everyone that wants this one gets the biggest print possible.

And yes, I said that in my <span style="font-weight: bold;">best </span><a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tekken_%28series%29" target="_blank">Tekken</a> voice <span style="font-style: italic;">ever</span>. Alright now, you know the deal... everyone with hyperactivity disorders can skip to the video, all else can move forward after reading. In Round Four we will have one Grand Prize Winner. That winner will receive a four foot poster of one of my paintings. You will have four painting options to choose from. To vote on which painting you want on your giant print, please direct your attention to the right-hand sidebar of this blog. And because of the overwhelming response from you guys about the prints that have been given away, I have decided to throw in a little bonus for Round Four. Well, not that little actually. For a limited time only, all prints in my online shop will be <span style="font-weight: bold;">heavily</span> discounted at 50% off of their original prices. Before I come to my senses, and take that back, you might want to check it out. But first...<br /><center><object width="500" height="405"><param name="movie" value="http://www.youtube.com/v/Bhl01sZx7qQ&hl=en&fs=1&rel=0&color1=0xcc2550&color2=0xe87a9f&border=1"></param><param name="allowFullScreen" value="true"></param><param name="allowscriptaccess" value="always"></param><embed src="http://www.youtube.com/v/Bhl01sZx7qQ&hl=en&fs=1&rel=0&color1=0xcc2550&color2=0xe87a9f&border=1" type="application/x-shockwave-flash" allowscriptaccess="always" allowfullscreen="true" width="500" height="405"></embed></object></center><br />NOTE:<br />Only followers of this blog are eligible for the give-away. As I mentioned in the video, you guys will have a little bit more time to enter this round. The give-way will take place on August 1st. Kindly click on the 'FOLLOW' button somewhere to the left of this page to join in on the fun. After that, there is nothing else for you to do. Unless you're an awesome friend. In which case, you can tell all of your friends about this really cool art give-away that's going on and how they should check it out. ;D<br /><br />You can also tell them how <span style="font-style: italic;">everyone</span> is a winner in this round, with the 50% OFF PRINT SALE going on right now. That means <span style="font-weight: bold;">any </span>painting,<span style="font-weight: bold;"> </span>in <span style="font-weight: bold;">any </span>size,<span style="font-weight: bold;"> </span>on <span style="font-weight: bold;">any </span>media. So, for example... a HUGE 36"x48" Print (like the one featured in the Round 4 Video) regularly goes for $89.90, and is worth <span style="font-style: italic;">every </span>penny. But for a VERY limited time, that same print is being let go at $44.95. Crazy, right? And depending on the size that you choose, prices will drop all the way down to just about $12 bucks! That is a <span style="font-weight: bold;">huge </span>price drop and is not something that is going to last, so don't miss out. SALE ends soon.

The skateboard is gonna be <span style="font-style: italic;">ill</span>. I can't wait for that. As usual, I have been working into the early hours of the morning, trying to get things going for you guys. SO worth it though. The longer I look at this painting, the more I love it. The design, the sexiness, the colors, the itty bitty skull spider that you guys probably won't be able to see. Lol. Well, not until you get your badass wall-covering poster for yourself. ;D You can view all of the products in this line at my shop.

The newest addition... "Love Ridden" By Nichole Camarillo. If you would like to view this image larger [please do], then you may visit her gallery page by <a href="http://nicholecamarillo.com/gallery/loveridden/" target="_blank">clicking here</a>.

Well my friends, there was an overwhelming response of greed. ;) Only a handful of you chose to spread the wealth and have three winners. The rest of you chose to keep it <span style="font-style: italic;">all </span>to yourself. Majority ruled, and one lucky winner will receive a mystery prize from yours truly. No hints as to what it will be, but the winner will have their choice of painting to go on the prize.<br /><br />Who is this lucky winner, you ask? .....I don't know. Lol. The winner will be chosen at 1pm today. Only followers of this blog are eligible to win. Please feel free to join in on the fun before then to participate in this round's give-away. After that time, you are definitely still encouraged to follow, but will be eligible for give-aways <span style="font-weight: bold;">after</span> this one. Only one left after this one, guys. And it's a <span style="font-weight: bold;">BIG </span>one! :D I hope you're ready for it.<br /><br />Alright now, who can guess where I'm headed? That's right, people... BACK TO WORK!

Do you guys even <span style="font-style: italic;">realize </span>where we're at right now? This is the Sneak Peek of Round <span style="font-weight: bold;">THREE's </span>release. Round. Three. Seriously, this is really flying by now. Sigh. Alright, well, let's not let my separation anxiety come between you and the sneak peek you're here for.<br /><br />Release three of four in July's 'One A Week' project has less than a day left before she's unleashed onto the world. The full painting, details, and product line will launch tomorrow. But before we go swimming in that ocean, why don't we get a little wet...<br /></div><center><br /><span style="font-weight: bold;">Release Three of Four</span> - By Nichole Camarillo<br /><img src="http://i205.photobucket.com/albums/bb253/nic_e8484/LOVESNIPPETS-1.jpg" /></center><br />She's hot. Like, <span style="font-style: italic;">crazy </span>hot. I think you'll love her as much as I do. :)<br /><div style="text-align: justify;">When you guys see this painting in its entirety, you might not be able to appreciate how much is actually going on. There are a lot of textures and a <span style="font-weight: bold;">lot </span>of small details that may slide past what your eyes can grasp. So with this sneak peek I wanted to try and focus on those details. And just in case you were wondering, all of those lines you see were not done with a stencil or comb or crazy brush. Each and every single line, dot, swirl, circle, <span style="font-style: italic;">whatever</span>, were done freehand and one at a time. ALL of them. Lol. I really am amazed that my fingers didn't cramp up and break off.<br />Alright people, you know how this goes down...<br /></div><br /><span style="font-weight: bold;">Give-Away!</span><br /><div style="text-align: justify;"><div style="text-align: justify;"> Round three may have one winner. It may have three. That depends solely upon your voting vivacity. Heh. According to the current poll results, it looks as though there will be ONE winner. If you're not happy with this being the outcome, get on over to right side of this page and vote. Today is the last day for any changes to the polls. They will close at midnight tonight.<br /><br />And of course, all are welcome to start following this blog by clicking the 'FOLLOW' button to the left of this page. Depending on how you are viewing this page, it may say 'Join This Site'. Only followers of this blog are eligible to win. Join in by no later than 1pm tomorrow and you too can play in this round's give-away. :)<br /><br />Recap; Polls close @ midnight. Winner (or winners) picked tomorrow @1pm. Hot painting coming your way. ;) Good luck to everyone!<br /></div><br /><br /><!-- AddThis Button BEGIN --><br /><div class='addthis_toolbox addthis_default_style' expr:addthis:title='data:post.title' expr:addthis:url='data:post.url'><a href='http://www.addthis.com/bookmark.php?v=250&pub=nicholecamarillo' class='addthis_button_compact'>Share</a><span class='addthis_separator'>|</span><a class='addthis_button_facebook'></a><a class='addthis_button_myspace'></a><a class='addthis_button_google'></a><a class='addthis_button_twitter'></a><br /></div><br /><script type="text/javascript" src="http://s7.addthis.com/js/250/addthis_widget.js?pub=nicholecamarillo"></script><br /><!-- AddThis Button END --><script type="text/javascript"><br />var gaJsHost = (("https:" == document.location.protocol) ?

Round Three is here. As always, please feel free to skip to the video. I'll be here when you realize you need more details. :) In Round Three, you guys get to decide on a couple of things. First, How many winners is Round Three going to have? Are we going to have one winner? Or three winners? Before responding with, 'Duh, Nichole..THREE', I want to run some things by you...<br /><br />If you guys decide that you want THREE winners and a <span style="font-weight: bold;">bigger</span> chance of winning, you will each get a <span style="font-style: italic;">smaller</span> prize. A cool prize, nonetheless, but still small. This also means though, that you guys get to vote on what that smaller prize will be.<br /><br />If you guys decide that you want ONE winner and a <span style="font-weight: bold;">bigger </span><span style="font-style: italic;">PRIZE, </span>then the catch is I get to choose that prize. The prize will remain a secret until it is shipped to you, and on your doorstep. I will however, be kind enough to let you choose which painting you would like on your mystery prize. &amp;If you haven't already noticed them, the polls are toward the top right of the page, under the header. They will remain open until midnight, July 22nd. Don't forget that's less than a week away, so be sure to get your votes in.<br /><center><br /><object width="500" height="405"><param name="movie" value="http://www.youtube.com/v/GsftPGYdNC0&hl=en&fs=1&rel=0&color1=0x402061&color2=0x9461ca&border=1"></param><param name="allowFullScreen" value="true"></param><param name="allowscriptaccess" value="always"></param><embed src="http://www.youtube.com/v/GsftPGYdNC0&hl=en&fs=1&rel=0&color1=0x402061&color2=0x9461ca&border=1" type="application/x-shockwave-flash" allowscriptaccess="always" allowfullscreen="true" width="500" height="405"></embed></object></center><br /><br />NOTE:<br />Remember, only followers of this blog are eligible to win.

Skateboard and shoes for this product line will be available later this week. I'll be sure to keep you posted on those. You can view all of the products in this line at my shop.

"Pale September" By Nichole Camarillo. If you would like to view this image larger [please do], then you may visit her gallery page by <a href="http://nicholecamarillo.com/gallery/paleseptember/" target="_blank">clicking here</a>. You can also view the <a href="http://nicholecamarillo.com/gallery/" target="_blank">gallery homepage</a> to keep up with the next release dates in this project.<br /></div><br /><div style="text-align: justify;">For those of you that can spare a moment, please leave me your thoughts about this new painting. It would mean so much to me. I would love to hear from you.<br /></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-weight: bold;">Update...</span> As you may have noticed, the Round 2 polls are now down. The polls closed at midnight this morning, and I have counted and verified each and every single vote by hand.<br /><br />Yeah, okay, maybe not that last part. But either way, the votes are in! What did you guys choose? What painting is your number one? Here are the results...<br /></div><br /><center><img src="http://i205.photobucket.com/albums/bb253/nic_e8484/WIN.jpg" /><img src="http://i205.photobucket.com/albums/bb253/nic_e8484/PAINT.jpg" /></center><br /><br /><div style="text-align: justify;">The obvious winner for the <span style="font-weight: bold;">choice of prize</span> is the artist print. KILLED that vote. Wow. Winner for <span style="font-weight: bold;">choice of painting</span> was a close one though. "<a href="http://www.nicholecamarillo.com/gallery/whatsagirltodo" target="_blank">What's A Girl To Do</a>" won by only one single vote. I must admit, watching the votes was pretty intense for me. If it hadn't had been such a close race, I probably would have thought nothing of it, but I was glued. And every time I encouraged more votes, they would sway a bit. Back and forth, back and forth.

This week flew by WAY too fast. There was so much going on. There were so many things to do and new faces to greet, I almost feel dizzy. I hope I make the deadline for you guys. Well... by that I mean, I <span style="font-style: italic;">will </span>make the deadline, I just hope I live past it. Ha. As you all know, I am very drained. Thank you to everyone pushing me forward! All of the encouraging messages, comments, emails, everything... it makes <span style="font-weight: bold;">such </span>a difference. And it without a doubt makes all of this worth it. You guys are great. :)<br /><br />Release two of four in July's 'One A Week' project is <span>rounding that corner at full steam now.</span> The full painting, details, and product line will launch tomorrow. YAY! But before I drop that on you, why don't I ease you in, yeah? Alright, let's have a look...<br /></div><center><br /><span style="font-weight: bold;">Release Two of Four</span> - By Nichole Camarillo<br /><img src="http://i205.photobucket.com/albums/bb253/nic_e8484/SeptemberSnippets.jpg" /></center><br /><br />The gold takes it to a whole other level. Seriously. She's fabulous. :) I think the skulls are my favorite part though (of course). I can't wait to share her with you. Alright now, let's bring on the fun...<br /><br /><span style="font-weight: bold;">Give-Away!</span><br /><div style="text-align: justify;"> Round two has two winners, you guys. That means more chances to win, so I hope you're following along. Get your votes in. As of right now, it looks as though the prize will be an artist print of 'What's A Girl To Do'. Not the prize you want? Maybe the new sneak peek has you wanting a different painting? Well then you better get to voting because Polls close at midnight. That's right. Today is your last day to vote before the Round Two Give-Away Polls are closed for good. You guys are also running short on time to become a follower, if you haven't done so yet. I don't want you to miss out on any of the fun, so as long as you become a follower of this blog by no later than 1pm tomorrow, then you will be eligible for this round's give-away.<br /><br />I will be choosing the winners tomorrow.<br />And again, it WILL be random. So, good luck to everyone!<br /><br />P. S.<br />Here is the video I had said I would release for you guys to tear apart.

It's that time again. Round Two has been unleashed, so let the <span style="font-style: italic;">gaaames </span>begin! If you would like to skip right to the video, be my guest. For everyone else that still reads in this world, I'm just going to briefly let you know what's up. In round two there will be two polls for you to cast your vote on. If you haven't already noticed them, they are toward the top right of the page, under the header. They will remain open until midnight, July 15th. That's less than a week away, so be sure to get your votes in. You will first be voting for what you want your prize to be. Second, you will vote for which painting you would like on that prize. [Note: Option 5 in Poll #2, 'Surprise Me.' refers to the new painting that will be released on Tuesday.] SO let's check this out real quick...<center><br /><object height="364" width="445"><param name="movie" value="http://www.youtube.com/v/F46KcU02ZfE&amp;hl=en&amp;fs=1&amp;rel=0&amp;color1=0xcc2550&amp;color2=0xe87a9f&amp;border=1"><param name="allowFullScreen" value="true"><param name="allowscriptaccess" value="always"><embed src="http://www.youtube.com/v/F46KcU02ZfE&amp;hl=en&amp;fs=1&amp;rel=0&amp;color1=0xcc2550&amp;color2=0xe87a9f&amp;border=1" type="application/x-shockwave-flash" allowscriptaccess="always" allowfullscreen="true" height="364" width="445"></embed></object></center><br /><br />I didn't mention it in the video, but if you caught it at the end, let me assure you... for Round 2 there will be TWO winners! YAY! Remember, only followers of this blog are eligible to win. So if you would like a shot at some cool free stuff, please click on the 'FOLLOW' button somewhere to the left of this page. Once you are a follower of this blog, you are eligible all month long to win. There is absolutely nothing else for you to do. :)<br /><br />On a side note... I am extremely exhausted. Ha.<br />I know a lot of you catch my status updates on myspace, so you've probably noticed that they pretty much all have had to do with [lack of] food or sleep. Yeah. So how about trying to make a video where I have to stay focused and give people information... not so fun. Ha. It probably seems decent enough to you, but maaannnn if you seen what didn't make the cut. Lol, it's so sad. Anyway... it was somewhat amusing, so I'll be posting some of it later tonight on my <a href="http://www.youtube.com/user/NicholeCamarillo" target="_blank">YouTube Channel</a>. It will also have some insight of this project so far. Stuff that was good, but much too drawn out to shove into a promo video. Be sure to check that out.<br /><br />Alright guys, I'm getting back to work. :)<br />Enjoy your weekend!<br /><br /></div><!-- AddThis Button BEGIN --><br /><div class='addthis_toolbox addthis_default_style' expr:addthis:title='data:post.title' expr:addthis:url='data:post.url'><a href='http://www.addthis.com/bookmark.php?v=250&pub=nicholecamarillo' class='addthis_button_compact'>Share</a><span class='addthis_separator'>|</span><a class='addthis_button_facebook'></a><a class='addthis_button_myspace'></a><a class='addthis_button_google'></a><a class='addthis_button_twitter'></a><br /></div><br /><script type="text/javascript" src="http://s7.addthis.com/js/250/addthis_widget.js?pub=nicholecamarillo"></script><br /><!-- AddThis Button END --><script type="text/javascript"><br />var gaJsHost = (("https:" == document.location.protocol) ?

In fact, it's quite possible that I almost never do. Ha. I love to express myself through my own art. It is very much a release. So with that 'release' satisfaction filled through my own creations, I don't look to others art for a release... I look for an escape.<br /><br />A simple, honest, beautiful escape.<br />And that is subjective to my own interpretations of those words, of course.<br />Well, just this morning I came across some lovely design and photos that offered up just that.

I don't know about you, but I feel like I've been waiting forever. Thankfully release one of four in July's 'One A Week' project is <span style="font-style: italic;">almost</span> here. Tomorrow I will drop the full painting, details, and product line. [YAY!]<br /><br />I've been working damn near non-stop on everything. Telling you I'm exhausted would be a complete understatement. I am, however, equally excited, so it's all good. You guys definitely have a lot to do with that. Your excitement excites me, that's for sure. Ha.<br /><br />So, I would like to say thank you for all of the kind words and appreciation surrounding this project. It definitely reinforces my initial intentions of starting this project. I would also like to add a hello for all of the new faces I've become acquainted with in this past week. Just so you guys know, the more people that follow, the bigger the prizes. So if you haven't yet, jump on in.<br /><br />Now, as I mentioned, the full painting and details will be available to you tomorrow, on the appropriate gallery page of my website. I did however, want to give you a little taste of what you'll be seeing. So before you head over there, here are a few snippets of the new addition...<br /></div><center><br /><span style="font-weight: bold;">Release One of Four</span> - By Nichole Camarillo<br /><img src="http://i205.photobucket.com/albums/bb253/nic_e8484/CarrionSnippetsTall.jpg" /></center><br /><br />It's crazy, trust me.<br />And <span style="font-style: italic;">herrrre</span> comes the fun part...<br /><br /><span style="font-weight: bold;">Give-Away!</span><br /><div style="text-align: justify;">I know <span style="font-style: italic;">you</span> haven't forgot, so I wanted to reassure you that I haven't either. For this first round, I will be giving away an artist print of one of my paintings. For those of you who are curious, an artist print is different in that it is printed by the artist himself (or herself) and has an original signature from the artist, thus making it more valuable. NOT that I think any of you would take your precious gifts and turn them around on eBay or anything like that. ;P<br /><br />Today is your last chance to start following before the Round One Give-Away. I will be choosing a winner tomorrow. I haven't decided yet in which manner I will handle that, but I know for sure, it WILL be random. So, good luck to everyone!<br /><br />NOTE:<br />Winner will decide on painting to be printed. Print is <span style="font-weight: bold;">not</span> required to be of the new release, but certainly can be. There will only be <span style="font-weight: bold;">one</span> winner chosen for this first round.<br /></div><br /><!-- AddThis Button BEGIN --><br /><div class='addthis_toolbox addthis_default_style' expr:addthis:title='data:post.title' expr:addthis:url='data:post.url'><a href='http://www.addthis.com/bookmark.php?v=250&pub=nicholecamarillo' class='addthis_button_compact'>Share</a><span class='addthis_separator'>|</span><a class='addthis_button_facebook'></a><a class='addthis_button_myspace'></a><a class='addthis_button_google'></a><a class='addthis_button_twitter'></a><br /></div><br /><script type="text/javascript" src="http://s7.addthis.com/js/250/addthis_widget.js?pub=nicholecamarillo"></script><br /><!-- AddThis Button END --><script type="text/javascript"><br />var gaJsHost = (("https:" == document.location.protocol) ?

He has been skillfully transforming these scourings into whimsical little creature creations. He then gives away these treasures in the utmost brilliant and playful style. That's right... a treasure hunt.<br /></div><img src="http://i41.tinypic.com/1hdyqw.jpg" height="256" width="195" /><img src="http://i42.tinypic.com/dz9ncg.jpg" height="256" width="315" /><br /><br /><div style="text-align: justify;">Every day this June, Ed Franklin has been masking these little bits of excitement throughout his home town of Lexington. Like, "polite graffiti," as he calls it. "It doesn't deface anything, but it's definitely there. It changes the way you see your environment ... without leaving a permanent mark."<br /></div><br /><img src="http://i44.tinypic.com/1ghdvs.jpg" height="256" width="195" /><img src="http://i42.tinypic.com/1z3p8ja.png" height="256" width="315" /><br /><img src="http://i40.tinypic.com/21l0ay1.png" width="520" /><br /><img src="http://i43.tinypic.com/2qsm6tf.png" height="216" width="235" /><img src="http://i39.tinypic.com/2uqnm08.png" height="216" width="275" /><br /><br /><div style="text-align: justify;">Left with a photo and a clue, the enthusiastic treasure seekers go on the hunt for these darling gems that [once found] are then theirs to keep. No strings attached. Simply a fun game, amazing art, and a good old-fashioned attitude of finders-keepers. How... AWESOME!<br /></div><br /><img src="http://i40.tinypic.com/4ufe6w.png" height="193" width="255" /><img src="http://i41.tinypic.com/2m8486b.png" height="193" width="255" /><br /><img src="http://i44.tinypic.com/10ej6gy.png" width="520" /><br /><br /><div style="text-align: justify;">Sadly though, as with all good things, this will also come to an end. 'A Doll A Day In June' has merely three days left. If you would like more info on Ed Franklin, more photos of these tiny masterpieces, or to possibly get one of the last three dolls left in the hunt... here are Ed Franklin's <a href="http://www.facebook.com/edo.art" target="_blank">Facebook</a> and <a href="http://www.flickr.com/photos/39086013@N03/" target="_blank">Flickr</a> links.

He was just one of those people, those names, that you think will live forever. Made up of magic and smiles, or something... I don't know.<br /></div><br /><div style="text-align: justify;">I'm sure there will be many, many, of those that will bash his name even in death. Because, yes, of course, there was the drama. Yes, there was family turmoil. Yes to the fame. Yes to the fortune. Yes, the weirdness. The sparkly clothes. The masks. The often creepy attire. The amusement park for a home. The plastic surgeries. The celebrity gossip. The accusations, true or false. Yes, there was all of that. But if there is anything that this man may need to answer for, he is doing that right now. That's not up to any of us, so let's move on.<br /></div><br /><div style="text-align: justify;"><img src="http://i44.tinypic.com/vr4jyc.jpg" align="left" hspace="10" width="250" />The insane amount of wonderful that this man has brought into the world could wrap around all of the other things at least ten times fold. With his music, his fame, his fortune, and with everything else positive that he was able to create for himself, he gave back exceedingly more. He has brought so much joy, entertainment, and feel-good vibes to so many of our days. He has for sure [at least] given us some amazing playlists. And whether it was giving a sick child a smile and bit of hope, or raising hundreds of thousands of dollars for a good cause, he used his wealth to help so many. He brought such abundance into numerous peoples lives all over the world. He brought inspiration, hope, creativity, style, and love to millions. His incredible music, extravagant style and childlike character have left quite the impression. His reach was beyond, beyond.<br /></div><br /><img src="http://i40.tinypic.com/21jn9tf.jpg" height="185" width="250" /><img src="http://i44.tinypic.com/33216oz.jpg" height="185" width="250" /><br /><br /><div style="text-align: justify;"> Although the lights have now faded and the ashes will soon enough settle, one thing remains true... Michael Jackson is a legend. He really is one of those people; those names. The ones who live forever. Just in a different way now.<br /></div><br />Through his music, and through our hearts.<br /><br />Rest In Peace, Michael.<br /><br /><img src="http://i44.tinypic.com/992edl.jpg" width="500" /><br /><!-- AddThis Button BEGIN --><br /><div class='addthis_toolbox addthis_default_style' expr:addthis:title='data:post.title' expr:addthis:url='data:post.url'><a href='http://www.addthis.com/bookmark.php?v=250&pub=nicholecamarillo' class='addthis_button_compact'>Share</a><span class='addthis_separator'>|</span><a class='addthis_button_facebook'></a><a class='addthis_button_myspace'></a><a class='addthis_button_google'></a><a class='addthis_button_twitter'></a><br /></div><br /><script type="text/javascript" src="http://s7.addthis.com/js/250/addthis_widget.js?pub=nicholecamarillo"></script><br /><!-- AddThis Button END --><script type="text/javascript"><br />var gaJsHost = (("https:" == document.location.protocol) ?

Reminiscent nerves were struck awfully hard however, while viewing these creations by David Fullarton. I cannot begin to explain how completely amused I am by this production. Such lightly put and deeply rooted comedic takes on our existentialist actions in a capitalist zoo. Ahhh... sweet wretchedness.<br /><center><blockquote style="font-weight: bold;"><i><blockquote>"It’s about transcending the mundane through the beauty and absurdity of distraction."</blockquote></i></blockquote><img src="http://behance.vo.llnwd.net/profiles/51170/projects/226098/511701242248326.jpg" width="505" /><br /><img src="http://behance.vo.llnwd.net/profiles/51170/projects/226098/511701242322655.jpg" /><br /><img src="http://behance.vo.llnwd.net/profiles/51170/projects/226098/511701242249498.jpg" /><br /><img src="http://behance.vo.llnwd.net/profiles/51170/projects/226098/511701242322750.jpg" /><br /><img src="http://behance.vo.llnwd.net/profiles/51170/projects/226098/511701242322704.jpg" /><br /><img style="width: 275px; height: 339px;" src="http://behance.vo.llnwd.net/profiles/51170/projects/226098/511701242322826.jpg" align="left" /><img src="http://behance.vo.llnwd.net/profiles/51170/projects/226098/511701242249562.jpg" align="right" width="243" /><img src="http://behance.vo.llnwd.net/profiles/51170/projects/226098/511701242323246.jpg" align="right" width="200" /><br /><img src="http://behance.vo.llnwd.net/profiles/51170/projects/226098/511701242323054.jpg" /><br /><img src="http://behance.vo.llnwd.net/profiles/51170/projects/226098/511701242323089.jpg" width="290" /><br /></center><br />To view the full body of work in this installation, please visit <a href="http://www.behance.net/Gallery/Sisyphus-Office-Exhibition-Houston-2009_/226098" target="_blank">David Fullarton's Portfolio</a>.

Thankfully the great people in the artist collective, Heart of Chaos, and all of the wonderful inhabitants of San Jose, know how to live it up. The SubZero Festival rocked through the night into the early hours of the morning. I love having so much fun. So many people supporting and enjoying the arts. And having a blast while doing so. <small>Photo Credit (Photo, Right): BasicLee Photography</small><br /><br />Several live bands were performing. Lots of interactive performances and displays throughout the festival provided crazy visuals and arose countless <a href="http://www.flickr.com/photos/ncamarillo/3612476356/" title="RELAPSE by NicholeCamarillo.com, on Flickr" target="_blank"><img src="http://farm4.static.flickr.com/3629/3612476356_4c69d1431b.jpg" align="left" border="0" hspace="8" vspace="5" width="215" /></a> questions. Many of the downtown galleries had their doors wide open, welcoming every avid art seeker dancing in the street. The thriving downtown San Jose scene was heavily spiced with street vendors, art of all walks, and endless treats to delight every one of your senses. Saying hello to so many familiar faces, and being introduced all night to new ones left my head spinning for days. Although, I'm sure kicking back (more than) a few drinks only intensified that sensation. It was <b>quite</b> the night out. </div><center><br /><a href="http://www.flickr.com/photos/ncamarillo/3611661359/" title="SubZero 2009 by NicholeCamarillo.com, on Flickr" target="_blank"><img src="http://farm3.static.flickr.com/2476/3611661359_ff47650297.jpg" border="0" height="330" width="250" /></a><a href="http://www.flickr.com/photos/ncamarillo/3611662749/" title="SubZero 2009 by NicholeCamarillo.com, on Flickr" target="_blank"><img src="http://farm3.static.flickr.com/2475/3611662749_10f8ae1f1b.jpg" border="0" height="330" width="250" /></a><br /><object height="370" width="504"><param name="movie" value="http://www.youtube.com/v/agOxr9ftrwA&amp;hl=en&amp;fs=1&amp;color1=0x234900&amp;color2=0x4e9e00"><param name="allowFullScreen" value="true"><param name="allowscriptaccess" value="always"><embed src="http://www.youtube.com/v/agOxr9ftrwA&amp;hl=en&amp;fs=1&amp;color1=0x234900&amp;color2=0x4e9e00" type="application/x-shockwave-flash" allowscriptaccess="always" allowfullscreen="true" height="370" width="504"></embed></object></center><br /><div style="text-align: justify;">Although the SubZero event has packed its bags, South First Billiards will continue hosting many of my original paintings for the month of June. If you would like to check it out, South First Billiards is located at 420 South First Street in San Jose, CA. They have air hockey, ping pong, a seemingly endless number of billiard tables, karaoke, food, drinks, and more for you to enjoy during your visit. There are also many other talented artists displaying their work as well. It is definitely worth the trip.<br />Thank you for your support.

I fully acknowledge musics presence in, and heavy influence on, my life. I'd like to think that every one feels this way. And that every one can narrow it down to that one album in their life that has forever changed who they are. An album that has changed their thoughts, their actions, their outlook on the people and world surrounding them. An album that has sparked a level of awareness and creativity never previously tapped into. Who knows, maybe you have five of those albums. Or maybe you've yet to discover your first. I remember </span><i style="font-family: verdana;">my</i><span style="font-family:verdana;"> first. And that, my friends, is why I'm here.</span></span><br /><br /><span style="font-size:100%;"><img style="font-family: verdana;" src="http://i43.tinypic.com/15n3i3b.jpg" align="right" hspace="5" vspace="5" width="175" /><span style="font-family:verdana;">DJ Krush's solo debut album, "Krush" had been released for a few years before I caught up to it. But when I </span><i style="font-family: verdana;">did</i><span style="font-family:verdana;">[?!]... <b>wow</b>. It was like nothing I was listening to at the time. And like nothing I had ever heard. Such raw and unpolished funk. The scratches and beats and (sometimes rather odd) guest vocals were heaven to me. I went into the most intense creation mode I had ever been in. Non. Stop. Art. For weeks upon weeks I stayed locked up, album on repeat, just creating. It felt as if I had always been connected to that album even though I was meeting it for the first time. It was unbelievable.</span></span><br /><br /><span style="font-size:100%;"><span style="font-family:verdana;">After that initial wave of Krush madness, I sadly lost touch with the album. So as not to put anyone on blast, I'll just say it was "borrowed" and never returned [yeah, thanks]. After that, I either couldn't find it, or couldn't afford it. The more time that passed, the harder it was to come by until eventually it was almost as if it had never existed. It wasn't until recently that I was able to reconnect and welcome it back into my collection [*sigh]. Listening through it again, was like listening to it for the first time. I was completely overwhelmed with familiar but foreign memories. All of the sights, scents and emotions that had tangled themselves up with that place in my life came pouring in.</span></span><br /><br /><span style="font-size:100%;"><span style="font-family:verdana;">Thinking back to how much change took place because of this piece of music, I cant help but be grateful. And I can't help but to share it with you.</span></span><br /><br /><span style="font-size:100%;"><img style="font-family: verdana;" src="http://i42.tinypic.com/2exqbmf.jpg" align="left" hspace="5" vspace="5" width="200" /><span style="font-family:verdana;">"Krush" is now past its 15 year mark.

I would still have been completely unprepared for what was to come. I've pretty much had the whole weekend now (and then some) to soak in everything that went down on Saturday. However, now (that the superficial shock value of meeting such amazing celebrity figures that I've been a long time fan of is slowly disintegrating) I realize that this wasn't any Saturday event I would get 'over' in a weeks time.

To fully explain what that name holds would take another lifetime. We're gonna go with the shorter version on this one. I'm an 80's born female of Mexican descent. I have lived my whole life in California. I've had more addresses and phone numbers than I can keep track of. I'm currently replanting myself back in the Bay Area. I am an artist. I appreciate all things beautiful, colorful, and intricately flawed. This life has taken some serious swings at me and I get stronger every day. I communicate all that I've learned, seen, felt, and experienced in this life through my paintings. It just works better that way. <br /></div><br />I have huge goals that I'd like to see through to completion. I don't plan on stopping. The road I'm headed down won't ever get any shorter. Just maybe smooth out a bit every now and then. Feel free to follow along offering positivity, insight and encouragement anywhere you see fit. Don't be shy.<br /><br /><center><img src="http://i104.photobucket.com/albums/m172/nic_e84/nix_decpaint010.jpg" width="500" /></center><br /><br /><b><span style="font-size: large;">A Little About This Blog...</span></b><br /><br /><div style="text-align: justify;">Originally my intentions for this blog were to use it as an 'Updates' section for my website, <a href="http://www.nicholecamarillo.com/" target="_blank">NicholeCamarillo.com</a>. That didn't exactly go down the way I planned, but that's quite alright with me. This blog has slowly but surely evolved into something so much more exciting, interesting, and inspiring. I do try my best to not completely jump off into the deep end of my randomness in my posts, but I can't say it never happens. As a general rule, I try to keep things relevant to all things art. Painting, music, fashion, photography, etc. You'll find many different artists here in many different types of creative expression. The one thing they do all have in common is that I find them to be of delightful distraction. Hate it or love it, if I feel strongly about it, chances are I'll be sharing it with you guys. <br /></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: justify;">Whatever it is I'm up to though, you'll still find those updates here. Whether it be new paintings, upcoming projects, exhibits, or anything else of that nature. Occasionally free things will be handed out at random as well. But just so you know, not all give-aways and updates are done here. Signing up for my <a href="http://www.nicholecamarillo.com/contact" target="_blank">mailing list</a> will get you the most exclusive info and offers.<br /></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: justify;">So... that's the short version.&nbsp; Thanks for following along! :)<br /></div><br /><script type="text/javascript"> var gaJsHost = (("https:" == document.location.protocol) ?
