Mini Paintings by Larimie Garcia

Back by popular demand are my mini paintings. They are mini portraits of characters and creatures alike on mini canvas. The masks and make-up they wear give them a primitive nature. The paintings are made with mixed media including metallic gold aerosol (Montana is my favorite), ink, acrylic and marker.

You can purchase these mini paintings for a very affordable price at My Etsy shop.

Social Studio this Wednesday!

While at Pecha-Kucha, I met a great guy from Fivepoints Arthouse in San Francisco. He gave me a flyer for this event I definitely want to attend this Wednesday... A little bit of an artists' jam - come check it out with me!

Every Wednesday Fivepoints Arthouse opens its studio doors and hosts an evening of creativity. Join us in making your art in a social environment. Bring your drawing, writing, painting, sewing, collage and even get connected to our free wireless to do some computer work. Discuss, critique, and collaborate on ideas and artwork all in a unique, comfortable, social space. Some materials are provided. Artists are encouraged to bring their own materials and in-progress work as well as create new works. This event is open to all adult artists who might be excited about sharing their work process with others, as well as those in search of learning new tips and techniques from other professional, established artists.

Omnivore

I'm not sure if this makes me want vegetables or meat more. Nonetheless, this sign is pretty rad. Painted on an awning of a market on Mission in San Francisco.

"Desire" Painting with Hugo

My friend Hugo came by the other night. After Lisette cooked us up some bomb curry, we scurried to the basement and worked for a few hours on this painting. We just started with the idea of "Desire" and took turns painting layers.

Painting in Progress

Painting in Progress... Getting ready for March Show in San Francisco.
