#FlashbackFriday! This #fanart of @thebiancadelrio was made at the very beginning of my journey, learning how to recreate portraits. I don't do very much artwork in graphite, but I was so pleased with how it turned out 😁 my lil ode to one of my favorite #dragqueens♡ #portrait #art #HoustonArtist #HoustonArt #DragQueen #BiancaDelRio #RPDR #artist #graphite #drawing #nofilter https://www.instagram.com/p/BrGgJPtHs-r/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=1npkjqs5drbud

Good morning, and happy Monday 😊 I've got a whole lot to say, and I apologize for the delayed 'Thank you' post. I've had friends and my brother in from out of town, so I've been absorbing all the time I could with them :) Our friends are back home and My brother is headed to the airport and back to New Mexico ☹ So with that said- Here's my epic post about Saturday night! First and foremost I want to give a HUGE thank you to the WrightArtTwinsExperience for the incredible opportunity, for believing in my art, and helping me go public with my work. My gratitude and appreciation are abundant! I can't thank you enough for setting a new pace in my art career. This show really boosted my confidence and has given me new goals that I now know I can reach. I appreciate your dedication to new artists and growing the community, you all are too awesome for that. Truly, I am overwhelmed with thanks 🙏 To Dan and Becca @thebodega I thank you so much for your kind smiling faces, your encouragement, and your help. You all helped chill my nerves and that alone is worthy of thanks enough! The space was perfect! Thank you for being an Avenue for creators and artisans. I will definitely be back to see who and what else pop up in your shop 😊 To Diamond and Bri- my girls, and new real life friends 😁 you ladies made the event so much fun! I enjoyed sharing this time with you both and hope we plan some time to collaborate soon! Your encouragement and reassurance has no dollar amount, truly and utterly priceless. I genuinely appreciate you lovely ladies 😊 To my brother Jon, Pri, and Val- you all really came through clutch! All your help and patience really made setting up a breeze and getting everything to and from the venue a whole lot easier. I don't know what I would have done without you guys, I frickin love yous!!

A lil dedication, to the best holiday of the year (totally biased) #Halloween!!! Since I won't be spending any of my time this year indulging, I'll take you back to some of my prior costumes as well as costume collabs w/ my wife. I love Halloween mostly because of creative freedom 😊, the encouraged odd and weird decor everywhere, and up until about 6 or 7 years ago, I still trick or treated! Because CANDY! Best of all, is making my own look, I don't dig on spending much money on premade costumes, I see no challenge in that concept. I spend most of the year dreaming up what to dress up as, couple costumes now of course lol. No time of year is greater in my opinion, it's fall, it's dark and creepy, and I get to play around like it's normal to paint my face and live in a "haunted house". I look forward to next year, hell I may even start designing my look before the year is out! #HappyHalloween! #holiday #wife #MermaidManAndBarnicleBoy #RickyAndLucy #pirate #mr.bones #geisha #Joker #costume #diy #facepaint #TrickorTreat #Candy #favorite #art #artist #artsy #homemade https://www.instagram.com/p/BpmpjyxAJOw/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=13l2lmh01fov4
