Paintings in Motion 2010
One of my New Years wishes was to learn After Effects in hopes to incorporate myself as an artist into a rising industry. After completing the basic courses/tutorials from Gnomon, I put together a small 30 second reel. It's not much, in fact it may be full of mistakes. Nonetheless it is my very first project using the medium and i'm quite psyched!
I hope you all enjoy it just as much as I did making it.
I shall continue learning this beast and making more work. Stay tuned to my vimeo for future works!

Circus Girl
Update:
Did I mentioned back in October, that i rummaged through my mother's fabric closet while visiting and found a beautiful circus red and white striped cotton fabric?
To my surprise, she sent it to me a few weeks back. It's quite an old fabric since she's had it for over a decade. She says she wanted to make me a top with matching sailor buttoned shorts for when i was a teenager. Yeah it's been that long.
I really wanted to think this through because only a yard was available of this. I finally gathered the courage to use a 50's blouse pattern and I think it turned out quite beautiful. Don't you?
I'll get to wear the whole outfit when it gets warm enough in New York...here's to hoping!
Enjoy the photos and please visit my Flickr page for more photos. You'll find the link to the right of the screen.

Forever and a Day
Wow it's been ten thousand years since i've blogged to my fellow bloggers!
My apologies. I would totally go into Nirvana's 'all apologies' right now, but i'll refrain. You all know you're singing it right now in your heads.
Anywho so i just figured out how to do this Etsy.com wiggit thingy onto here. It's kind of like an ad from my blog to the etsy shop. How genius!
I'm having some massive sales because I would like to get rid of as much art (and stuff) as possible before moving this summer. June to be precise. So please help and spread the word!
As a good friend of mine likes to say, 'word is bond'- Priscilla. And it can not be any truer. You guys (me included) make it happen when you spread the love.
So go and spread the love. Everywhere.
<3

Etsy Shop, GNOMON and moving...
UPDATE...
I've been away for a couple of weeks. I have loads of things going on at the moment.
Mainly, I've changed up my shop a bit. Re-designed the banner and the 'idea' of the shop. It's rather polished up at the moment.
http://www.bellyantbutton.etsy.com/
For those of you who don't know, I am a huge vintage fan. HUGE!
Trying to make way for new inventory, for more excuses to shop, and of course to simply be able to close my closet doors, I have made a special section in my shop just for wonderful vintage finds. I am very excited for this!
I will also be moving to California as of the summer. As we all know cross country moves are extremely exhausting, time consuming and expensive. Please visit the shop and buy something! ...or just stop by and say hello?
I am currently taking workshops and doing tutorials from Gnomon school to catch up with what I missed out of during College. I am hoping to get the ball rolling here and learn some techniques that will lead me in the industry.
Many thanks to the folks who have suggested schools and classes in Cali. Thank you RAD for your suggestions! I will be continuing my art education part time as soon as I arrive to the west coast this summer. I can't wait to take all of those gorgeous figure painting, watercolor, drawing classes. And don't be surprised if one day, I have you as my professor!
As of now, i'm hitting the tutorials hard. Seriously it has taken me 5 days to get through the first After Effects demo...oy vey!
Like I said, lots of catching up to do!
That's all for now everyone!
Love and creativity
-Maria
p.s: Stay tuned: I will be getting my hands on vintage 40's and 50's sewing dress patterns from an Estate sale and I can not tell you how excited I am to make these. I of course shall post pictures of those.
