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. |

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. |

If you like any of the artwork you see, you can contact Jeshua (that's me *winks awkwardly*) at boifromipanema@gmail.com
Hi Jeshua! I am actually the one who purchased your chola at the Dia De Los Muertos event! If you want to get some finished pictures of her I would be glad to meet up with you somewhere! I was actually thinking about ordering my sister one for Christmas. Do you have a lot of the barbies left?
ReplyDeleteHi Jessica! It's awesome to hear from you! I hope you are enjoying your Lil Chola yo! I would Love to snap a few pics however I am out of the country currently, so perhaps when I return we can arrange something? As far as for your sister, I have may dolls still in my archive but I can always do something custom and have it shipped you if you so desire :)
