Them Good Genes

I'd like to think I come from a long line of talented people.....well I would like to believe that. -_-
                                                                            anyways
One thing I do know, is that one of the most talented and inspiring persons I know, just happens to be my big sister Denise A.K.A Pearmama.  She recently designed some pretty awesome scarves that just scream Bad-Ass-ery!

these 100% Pashmina scarves come in a variety of colors 

Perfect for the Cold Seasons ahead!

Punk Rock Sugar Skull...now really, does it get any better??

 Take a look for yourself and visit her personal blog at www.pearmama.com or her Etsy store http://www.etsy.com/shop/Pearmama for even more amazing work, not to mention her hilarious commentary on life, love, family and all around craziness.

Father Forgive Me

Hand painted Frida Kahlo doll.

My Dia de los Muertos Bride and Groom Barbie doll. It was tough to part with these two but I can always paint more just like it...I guess?

Sadly, I didn't get a  finished pic of my first-ever Chola Barbie. She had tattoos on her neck, suspenders, a bad ass bandanna, GIANT  hoop earrings and black rubber bracelets...she was pertty rad.

Close up Indian Henna inspired Dia De Los Muertos Barb.

Spider web eyes.

Each face is painted differently.

I designed four of the six sugar skull designs featured on these wood costers.

Pearmama (my sister) candles--all featuring her original artwork (I just did all the grunt work of  putting the images on the candles--you're welcome sister <3--)

The beginning.

I'm in my box, ready to find a cool new home.
