SNEAK PEEK! [The Warning]

By Nichole Camarillo

 

Hi Everyone! 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. For now, I simply HAD to let you take a sneak peek...

"The Warning" by Nichole Camarillo

It's madness. Seriously. ...Madness. But in a good way. :) I hope you guys are just as psyched as I am. I can't WAIT to share the real deal. And, of course, show you the painting in the making. Time-lapse and full release coming VERY soon. Stay posted! 

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?

Andre Hicks A.K.A. "Mac Dre" (1970-2004)

TELL me how excited you are. Seriously. It will definitely please. Make sure to keep your eyes peeled this coming Tuesday (April 6th) for the full release. That will also include a time-lapse video. :)

Sneak Peek: Bruce Lee

By Nichole Camarillo

Bruce is busting out! Umm... again. For those of you that are just tuning in, this is the second Bruce that I have finished. I put the finishing touches on this Bruce earlier this afternoon. And since, have been putting together a (headache of a) time-lapse video for you guys. *Sigh* Let's hope my luck or patience (or both) start pulling through soon. Yeah? Yeah. Otherwise, I maaay explode. And while we await that disaster, here's a bite-size version of Mr. Lee for you guys to snack on...

Can we say damn? Because... I really loved the first one, but... DAMN. You guys are really going to love this one. If we subtract all the headache, mess, extra time, and other nonsense that is thrusting me into grumpmode, I'm actually REALLY happy that I did this second Bruce.  I can't wait to share him with you... Full painting (and time-lapse video) drop soon! Stay posted. :)

Sneak Peek Part Two

By Nichole Camarillo

Thought I'd share a little inside look at my upcoming calendar to be released. Take a peek...

Isn't it absolutely fabulous?! Sigh. Oh, and please don't mind the the clutter. I had an in-progress piece on my desk that I had to toss to the ground to shoot these photos. I get a little impatient. :/

Calendars drop this week(end?). Woot! LOTS in store, stay tuned you guys.
P.s. Calendar in the pics is the actual calendar I will hand sign and give away to one of my awesome blog followers. :)

Sneak Peek

By Nichole Camarillo

Oh, yes... it's coming.

And for those curious kittens who happened to notice 'give-away' in the topics, YES... that is coming too. ;)

Sneak Peek @ Release Four

By Nichole Camarillo

Here we are, friends. 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 this Betty might actually bite back. ;)

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...

Release Four of Four - By Nichole Camarillo

OOOOoooohhh... Lol. I am so excited to share this one with you. :D

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 more uncomfortable not painting it. I had to share this. I had to paint this. I wish I could have somehow shared the actual dream with you. That was Queen of 'out of control'. Lol. I hope everyone that wants this one gets the biggest print possible. You won't be able to take your eyes off it. &With 50% OFF Prints right now, its a win/win. ;D

Alright people, check your watches. What time is it? Ahhhh yes...

Sneak Peek @ Release Three

by Nichole Camarillo

Ohhh myyy.... Do you guys even realize where we're at right now? This is the Sneak Peek of Round THREE's 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.

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...

Release Three of Four - By Nichole Camarillo

She's hot. Like, crazy hot. I think you'll love her as much as I do. :)

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 lot 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, whatever, 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.
Alright people, you know how this goes down...

Give-Away!

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.

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. :)

Recap; Polls close @ midnight. Winner (or winners) picked tomorrow @1pm. Hot painting coming your way. ;) Good luck to everyone!

SNEAK PEEK @ Release Two

by Nichole Camarillo

As slow as the time seemed to creep before the Round One Release, that definitely wasn't the case this time. 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 will 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 such a difference. And it without a doubt makes all of this worth it. You guys are great. :)

Release two of four in July's 'One A Week' project is rounding that corner at full steam now. 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...

Release Two of Four - By Nichole Camarillo


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...

Give-Away!

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.

I will be choosing the winners tomorrow.
And again, it WILL be random. So, good luck to everyone!

P. S.
Here is the video I had said I would release for you guys to tear apart. Ha.
Keep in mind how hard I've been working for you, and BE KIND! ;)

SNEAK PEEK @ Release One

by Nichole Camarillo

With all of the daily excitement, feedback, and encouragement everyone has been sending my way, it feels as if the time has been stretching to fit in so much more. 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 almost here. Tomorrow I will drop the full painting, details, and product line. [YAY!]

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.

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.

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...

Release One of Four - By Nichole Camarillo


It's crazy, trust me.
And herrrre comes the fun part...

Give-Away!

I know you 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

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!

NOTE:
Winner will decide on painting to be printed. Print is not required to be of the new release, but certainly can be. There will only be one winner chosen for this first round.
