I was approached to volunteer for a project I thought it was genius, pair artists with expecting mothers to paint their bellies with the vord VOTE. They asked every mother why they decided to do this in the times we are living, and all of them coincide that they are doing it for the future of their children. Voting is your civil duty and your right. So many people died so we can vote, think about that. Vote for the ones that can't, the ones that are in prison, the ones at the hospital and can't go. Use your right. Bump the Vote

Learn and get inspired by the people that are worth looking up to. Discard the rest... We spend so much time  Happy New Year peoples of the world... get your 12 grapes ready, eat them right before 12 o’clock and your 2018 will be filled with good stuff 😀🍇🥂  A few months ago a friend was looking for artists to participate in a beautification project that will bring a local marker to an underpass of the Bruckner expressway near The Bronx River. I was so excited about it, I created a sketch after I was explained the project and sent it. They loved it so I was in. A week ago I got delivered the 6x4 feet board and I finished over the weekend. All the 12 boards will be installed soon and the ribbon cutting ceremony will take place April 27. Save the date and I'll keep all of you posted! project
This summer I have been very busy, but I also had time to share time with friends and celebrate their happiness and successes. New babies on their way, wedding anniversaries, birthday parties. I like to give special gifts. I believe in creating memories, images that will last years and will bring you back to that moment. Instead of flowers, give a painting, instead of baby clothes that they will wear once, give some love... Stay cool and keep celebrating!
I am exhausted. It's been an incredible experience to be part of the 2016 chashama Gala. Yesterday I painted over 250 words on a canvas, during 5 hours straight. This unbelievable event takes place every year in the heart of NYC, 4 Times Square, where more than a hundred artists showcase or perform their art. I had a participatory performance, called Wall of Words, where people was asked to write a word on a paper, words that inspire them, that they feel identify with, or that they didn't like and wanted to get rid of it. It had a great acceptance and everyone was very excited to see their word written on the canvas. I had the most amazing helpers, Natalie and Yolanda, getting words from the attendees and helping me with the crowd management. I couldn't ask for better friends.
It's that time of the year again... Love is in the air and you might need the coolest gift for your other half. No worries, I'm here to save the day. Give me the words and I'll create a piece of art. The unique gift you were looking for. $25 for a 9x12" acid free illustration. Email me for any requests!    
I wanted to share with you my latest flyer. I can't wait for this events to start happening. I would like to invite all of you to come join us this summer as we drink and draw, network and have fun! Spend the Sunday afternoons (4 to 8 p.m.) in July in the Bronx with BxArts Factory and the Gun Hill Brewery! We will have live models to draw, music, contests and many other cool things to do! For the next three Sundays, July 12th, 19th and 26th, BxArts Factory brings you Art at the Bar, and the option to showcase your artwork for a week at the Brewery. After a very successful Fundraiser, we can't wait to keep working together to bring to The Bronx Art events and new opportunities for artists!
