Monsterpalooza! Focus on Artists Jasmine Becket Griffith and David Van Gough and Kurtis Rykovich

 

I had the wonderful honor of seeing some incredible artists at Monsterpalooza.

Jasmine Becket Griffith and David Van Gough shared a booth and some truly fantastic art.  They were incredibly sweet and signed not only what I purchased but a whole backpack of items I brought from home.  They were amazing and Jenn as always was a delight.

As a side note, I've been sorting my horded art prints and I have some multiples that they were oh so very kind enough to sign for me, so there will be some giveaways pending on the Jasmine Boards!

I also had the privilege of meeting the artist Kurtis Rykovich for the first time, I love his art and in person he is absolutely charming.

There was so much more to see, the cosplaying alone was incredible, but I was so wiped from the heat of the entry line that I didn't see much.  I was able to see the artists I wanted to see the most though and they were so kind.

Monsterpalooza will be running until Sunday at the Pasadena Convention Center.  I could only go the one day, but if you have the opportunity, I encourage you to go!

Happy Mother's Day! Original Crimson Topaz Hummingbird Painting...

 

I hope your Mother's Day is filled with goodness!  This is "Jewel of Scarlet," my crimson topaz hummingbird bird painting inspired by #birbfest2025.  My mother and I both love hummingbirds.  I just completed this exotic beauty and felt he would be a fitting tribute to this day.

The original painting is duo oils on a panel and measures 5"x7"
