Surreal Big Eyed Artist

About Me


"



Create yours at BlingyBlob.com!
---------------------- I was born in the year 1982 the only girl between 3 older brothers

My interest in the darker but innocent side of art began in the earliest stages of my teenage years.

Working with different artist and styles inspired me to create a fantasy of surreal creatures with enormous eyes.
I am a self-taught artist, Specialize in Big Eyed creatures with a Gothic touch.

I do little bit of sculpting, ornaments, and pu pots.
*
I am available for commissions on a limited basis. It depends on the project, the time frame, and the subject matter((Please get intouch with me for a possible commission)).

I create out of joy and this reflects in my work, a fantasy of creatures are born each time I pick up a brush and start painting, I give life to enormous eye characters.

The medium employed is acrylic paint with concentrated oil based paint crème.

..TR vAlign=top Just a few things that I want to make clear

I dont do any drawings or paintings for free, i have to make a living also and if u ask me living out of your art is not the easies thing to do for a living specially when your emerging, In do paint or draw work for cancer foundation, and non profit organizations, charities etc

I have no problem with deleting anything posted on my page I add nearly everyone. However, I will NOT add you if your a RACIST, sexist, rude ,cruel to animals,homophobic or just simple morons. Every once in a while , an asshole will slip through the cracks, but it will be deleted/block shortly.

I love my mexican/hispanic culture and traditions; my history and the art.

I love my family and my friends,my awesome pets. i have made really good friends here that i have grown to love just like a member of the family, and i would do anything for them.

I created this profile for networking with other artist ,promote my artwork and to keep in touch with people I know AND family back home.Im open for new friends as long as your honest and respect me, my life and the people i love.
