From Adobe Books to 111 Minna

2011-01-28T00:49:00.001-08:00

This past year has truly been amazing.It started off with my Adobe Books show. I still can't believe I had a show there. So much history, so much love. I still tear up thinking about what a great experience I had and will always cherish.
Towards the middle of the year things changed, not for the worst but for the better. I got a new job, FINALLY, and I feel much better! Now I have time to draw and be happy.
At the end of the year I was in 2 amazing shows. One of them was at 111 Minna.
I got to be part of an awesome show and what made it even sweeter was that I was showing my work with someone I admire dearly, Jeremy Fish.
Thank you 2010. Mi amor, mi corazon.
