So I made the biggest move ever in my life. At the end of 2013, with the assistance of my highway companion and darling angel, I drove across the country to the beautifully grey wasteland of Lemoore, California. It's really....hot. Though, to be honest, I get out as much as I did when I lived in Va. Feels just like home. I recently updated my resume and it along with my work has really seen some big changes. I'm pretty proud of the direction things are going. Though I am still working hard to make a solid footprint out here, I think it'll all pay off in the end. </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
The series I imagined in my head is growing as the months pass and I have a small pile of beautiful dreamers to show for it. It had it's beginning with the Peruvian mummy girl I had read an article about and since being invited to paint Frida for a tribute show at ChimMaya Gallery in LA, I have added her to the dreamers. </div>

So what...I like to paint giant veiny ones and boobies. Lots of boobies! Any black panel painting of mine does not begin with sketches but instead is created through a stream of consciousness that I can only compare to what someone would see in an instant upon viewing a <a href="http://sheepish.org/itp/rorschach/images/rorschach.jpg" target="_blank">Rorschach</a> inkblot. In essence I am my own therapist. And not a very good one, I'd say. I might have stopped myself about 40 veiny ones ago if I took my patient's mental health seriously at all! Which I clearly don't......<br />

Here is a collection of Rorschach paintings from end of 2012 up until now.</div>

I am a girl of the 80's and so it goes without saying that 80's music is huge when it comes to what movies me to paint. I love hardcore, metal, opera... I'll give most things a chance except that damn screamo crap! While some are more obvious than others, my mind takes me to some odd places when I listen to music. Here are some of my musically inclined pieces. <div>

In my moodier times i have found myself painting some crazy things. But the norm for my moodiness is iconography and strange cutesy creatures. Sweet smiles with a possible chance of being brutally slain. <br />
Going through a rough patch , feeling cut off at the knees and helpless , praying for a miracle and trying to remember there's beauty in the world. Wishing i was in Italy looking at my favorite painting. That basically sums up this pile of paintings. But this mood didn't last</div>

I understand , I really do. Perhaps to some, there is no connection, but to me , it all comes from one place which makes it as uniform as it can be. <br />
The question of 'why Optimus Prime?'(titled , Cherish is the word that i use to describe) in my last series, came up more often than not on opening night of the baby canvases show. I don't think I'll ever be the kind of artist that makes the series that obviously ties in together ,and to the critics, that is to my detriment. I guess I'm not built that way. I paint through stream of consciousness and with that, the audience can decide to connect the dots(fuzzy as they may be to some) and see that I'm actually wearing my heart on my sleeve and showing the sickness in my head and a love/obsession in my heart and choosing to share it OR just judge it on the surface. Love it or hate it or think nothing of it at all. I even feel not quite myself offering this explanation up. For those of you that know me and my sense of humor, you get me and that's awesome. There is also the pile of you that know me (sorta) I make you scratch your head and I confuse with my sense of humor and that is also really awesome to me.<br />
The whole 2x3 series for example is about love and a dark amusing place. <br />
These all came from blots of paint spattered on boards and one after the other a picture came to mind , like watching clouds in the sky turn into people and things. If you know the 60's love song , 'Cherish is the word' you can be amused by my special imaginary relationship I have had with Optimus Prime. As we lay in our giant transformer sized bed together and he charms my pants off while that song plays in the background and I look into his eyes and sigh,sigh,sigh."Oh Optimus... I love you" <br />
<br />
I also have what some people call , an "interesting" fascination with amputees and ''it's what's for dinner" just showed up in the cloud of paint on a board. With her very vulnerable, naked, legless body just waiting to be taken advantage of and to be possessed by this part serpent, part man. How much more intimate could he be with her ,if not by eating her? What lies did he tell her to make her believe he loved her and were they even lies at all? <br />
<br />
Simple pleasures- the girl with three decapitated heads for balloons. Oh what a strange place this came from. After A long trip to the A T & T store , I was thoroughly engaged in the size of my salesperson's ass. To begin with , I by no means have a tiny ass. I have quite the badonkey back there but this ass was special. It was quite possibly the biggest ass I have ever seen in my life. It was hypnotic and when she walked across the room I was riveted by the story of this ass. I thought to myself , I bet she could store at least 3 decapitated heads in that ass and who would ever know??? 3 unlucky fools that hold a special place in her heart(or the heart of her ass if you will) and within that sizable wonder of the world was born the simple pleasures of the girl with her 3 balloons. <br />

Every once in a while I find myself gravitating toward these tiny wooden boards ,where it becomes an obsession for days on end at a time . I wear myself out at the end of these mini binges and round and round I go; always finding my way back to my 18/0 brushes , my magnifiers and the crazy little pictures in my mind. </div>

<div style="text-align: center;">
Here are my images that will be displayed on Saturday at the <a href="http://www.soundry.net/home/">Soundry</a>. . They are 2inch x3inch on wooden panels. I layered different colors of gesso and aged the boards with a faux finish, cutting through the layers with wire and a mini hand saw. Then , very much like deciphering an inkblot , I looked at the pattern on the boards and just start painting what I saw. These images are what I saw through the blots. </div>

Herrera</a> - Space 210 on the 2nd floor. This blue face killer is all over the map with her artwork, and yet she covers that map very well. She makes and sells everything: T-shirts, buttons, stickers, skateboards, shoes, custom made frames, etc.<br /><br />She is a GerhardtRichterian artist in the sense that her artwork is about what interests and makes her tick, not what the critics dictate. I love the energy and drive and zeal behind her work; it's like an artistic hurricane in violent motion at all times.<br /><br />I know a lot of accomplished artists, now in the October of their careers (the best time for hurricanes) who wish they could find a way to rediscover 10% of the energy and intelligence that Herrera drives through your brain with paint-stained nails in each of her paintings.Jeannette Herrerahttp://www.blogger.com/profile/08061754135836573612noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6891583572877144410.post-87099891127305865952009-02-20T11:20:00.004-05:002009-02-20T11:36:27.077-05:002 new acrylics~ as per requestFor my friend Snoopy. He wanted one of him and his two boys. He bought <a href="http://img368.imageshack.us/img368/3982/mybanner48fd78182be89es8.jpg">G-Luv</a> and liked the style. He's a pretty debonair gangsta fella himself so I tried to keep with his style and he loves classic cars , was a mechanic until a serious back injury kept him from that , so I put 2 of his cars in his kid's hands.<br /><br /><a href="http://photobucket.com/" target="_blank"><img src="http://i148.photobucket.com/albums/s5/nettegooch/P1050626.jpg" alt="Photobucket" border="0" /></a><br /><br />This painting is inspired from a friend's favorite Black Flag song.

I understand that but I prefer to work on something a little different. When i meet someone I am taken with for one reason or another or when i get a commission and we click then I <span style="font-style: italic;">want</span> to paint your portrait . I want to see if what i see is what you see and I've been lucky to have fun clients, great friends and just a great desire to keep painting. Everyday i feel I improve and its a very good feeling.<br />

<span style="color: red;">~ Everybody wants to rule the world, a portrait</span><br />
I have yet to take a decent picture of this but I finished a portrait of my very good friend Jason Von Victor. When we met I was immediately taken by just , that way about him. What a truly lovely person. Smart assy and hilarious , serious and not so much all at the same time, Not to mention the drive and the passion .... what a refreshing fucking human being. Some people seem to go by , without an appreciation for the greatness around them. In order to raise yourself to a better standard you have to keep your eyes wide open. See what's out there and try to learn from it , though you may never reach that goal you know that at least you haven't missed out on an opportunity to just learn something. Let it pass you by and mediocrity will eat you alive. He seems to me to be the kind of man that is always learning , or trying his best to anyways. Meeting him made me want to paint him and I hope that its a compliment for him. It is my first ever portrait in acrylic paint. Being as that i can't shake this cough I have been staying away from the oils.<br />

Jason Von Victor is a tattoo artist at <a href="http://marlowearts.com/">Marlowe Ink</a> . He has been tattooing my latest traditional pieces on me and I couldn't be happier. You can see his many talents posted at the Marlowe link where you can see his portfolio. The traditional pieces I painted around him are pieces that represent different parts of his life. I had talked to him prior to starting the portrait and got an idea of what I wanted to do and how it should look. This is also my first portrait in acrylic. I usually do them in oils. I prefer not to do a straight portrait , not that i don't appreciate the skill it takes to do that , it just seems to lack that certain something that says that I had a hand in it.<br />

Other portraits I really enjoyed doing were <span style="color: red;">Mrs. Batson</span><br />
Commissioned by Allen Batson in remembrance of his mother. I painted one for him and he had me do one for his brother too. He came to me with the queen of hearts idea and all i wanted was to do her some honor and not disappoint him. You can only hope that you know what is going on in your clients mind and that you had a good connection. He was very pleased and that made me very happy. I definitely felt close to her and even missed her when she was gone. The frames I made from bass wood and plaster and then silver leafed them. Mrs Batson was quite the card player , so i kept with the theme.<br />

Martha's mom Nancy came to me with a request to paint her daughter so she can remember 21 year old Martha for always. Martha is the most together girl I have ever met. Mom and daughter both made me smile a lot. Nancy said ... this is the face that Martha makes to me... its that face , the " oh mom" face. I jokingly said , "we'll call this piece... Shut up Martha ! Just shut up!!" Needless to say , those two were a blast to work with<br />

Katie , so young and lovely and just too much fun to be with. Seriously her youthful exuberance is like magic. You just can't help but fall in love with her. An excellent model and a good friend. The skin tones were really fun to paint. I wish I had such pretty glowing skin.<br />

Since there is a slew of 80's paintings floating around in my head , I was in heaven when I heard about it.<br /><br /><span style="font-weight: bold; color: rgb(51, 255, 51);">It came from the 80's</span> had a great turn out and I was happy to be a part of it. They did make a little video of all the pieces and let me tell you , any 80's fan will be over the moon to see what some of these artists came up with. There is a Jason "Bear"hese that just about killed me when I saw it. Look for the Hellraiser reference in one of these pieces.... it is awesome! Too many great pieces. I really wish I could have been there.<br /><br /><br /><br /><object width="480" height="295"><param name="movie" value="http://www.youtube.com/v/5R_XHkyLGHA&hl=en&fs=1"><param name="allowFullScreen" value="true"><param name="allowscriptaccess" value="always"><embed src="http://www.youtube.com/v/5R_XHkyLGHA&hl=en&fs=1" type="application/x-shockwave-flash" allowscriptaccess="always" allowfullscreen="true" width="480" height="295"></embed></object><br /><br /><br /><br /><span class="text"><br /></span><br /><br />The pieces I did were small and honestly just more manageable a size to mail so far away. Otherwise I would have worked on a larger scale. I have had on my plate for a while an oil on masonite "Little China Girl" but since I had such a short time to get these out I re-started the idea in acrylic on a 6x9 canvas<br /><br /><a href="http://photobucket.com/" target="_blank"><img src="http://i148.photobucket.com/albums/s5/nettegooch/P1050496copy.jpg" alt="Photobucket" border="0" /></a><br /><br />Then my love for Prince could not be left out of such a great 80's event and I decided to combine 2 favs.<br /><br />When the Doves Cry Purple Rain" 6x9 acrylic on canvas<br /><a href="http://photobucket.com/" target="_blank"><img src="http://i148.photobucket.com/albums/s5/nettegooch/P1050497copy.jpg" alt="Photobucket" border="0" /></a><br /><br /><br /><br /><br />Last night was the opening night for <span style="font-weight: bold; color: rgb(51, 255, 51);">A salute to Cthulhu the Squid God</span><br />I really had fun painting this and it sold before the show even opened.
