Flight

Flight

a little bit of introspection here… Flight is a bit personal for me–i spent a while developing it.  To me, it remains a work in progress (on all fronts…lol) Every now and then, I give little coded messages to self.

You Want Me to Draw a WHAT?!

My fiance and muse, Shaun Mullen, gave me the most beautiful gifts for Christmas.

I Love Him So...

Been a While–Eh?

It’s been a year since I’ve posted a blog update–ashamed, yes–very. Seems life catches up with you, then grabs you by the feet and flies off with you and all of the sudden its a whole year later and you’re life is COMPLETELY different… Anyway, my last post was me going to the Sketchbook Creative [...]

Blue In Green (Self)

  Blue in Green (Self) by MiaBia_DC This is a very quick self portrait done while waiting for dinner yesterday.  Here’s the narrative–an excerpt from Facebook: Sketches/paints grotesque images of self while listening to ppl over use words and phrases, like “per se”…which only fuels the grotesque-ness…so, it is…my life: a circle.

Self In Back Room #2

  Self in back room 2 (brush test) by MiaBia_DC A play with brush tools in Sketchbook Pro.  I had the luxury of spending some time with a dear friend,  Luis Peso (from Granada Spain), during MobileArtCon 2011.  Aside from him being just an absolutely amazing person (soooo fun!), he is one of the most [...]

  8407 Ramsey Ave, Silver Spring by MiaBia_DC This was a quick painting (hence the incomplete feel of it) I did at a bar of a really fantastic restaurant (address above).  I always appreciate places that do the fresh flower thing…even more, I appreciate places with delicious food and a bar staff cool enough to [...]

Self In Back Room

Last day in NYC (after MobileArtCon)  I took a trip to Brooklyn with Jose and Luis (before they abandoned me for Spain!) We went to a great electronics store called J & R (had tons of shit–tablets, accessories, bags, cameras…)  Luis found this awesome tripod there–so I bought one too.  Was the one thing I [...]

MobileArtCon Day 1: Opening Session

MobileArtCon II – Check! (plus *smile*)

  MobileArtCon Day 1: Opening Session by MiaBia_DC A couple things– This post is not likely to be superbly written.  I have sacrificed a sharp mind (sleep) for passion.  And after the past 2 months I’ve had, I can tell you–passion has a way of nourishing you–I think you could maybe replace all forms of [...]
