Luann in St Barths

Here's the Countess Luann from The Real Housewives of NYC on vacation in St Barths and perhaps she took a vacation from her boyfriend? If we believe those clever editers at Bravo, then it certainly appears that Luann boned that french dude who looks like Johnny Depp and tried to cover it up by saying she brought a bunch of Italian friends to the house the Housewives were sharing. If you haven't done something regrettable while on vaca, then dare I say you haven't fully vaca'ed.

Artwork on vinyl albums

Just uploaded two items to my etsy shop.  I was in a paint on everything 

mode so I busted out some acrylic paint and covered the surface of two 

vinyl records.  One is a mix of colorful faces and the other is a black and 

white combination of faces and scrolling details.  Both are coated with

a mat polyurethane and are for sale.  Click here for more info.  Also, I'll 

be adding more items to that shop so if there's one of my drawings or 

paintings you like, please let me know.  One more thing.... if you don't 

like using etsy, please email me at prettyontheoutsidegilmore@yahoo.com 

and we can just go thru paypal.  

Thanks!

Frank Ocean

Today I drew r&b singer Frank Ocean.  He started his career writing for Beyonce, John Legend, and Justin Bieber and he recently has gotten a lot of attention for coming out.  He wrote on his blog:

In the last year or 3 I've screamed at my creator, screamed at the clouds in the sky, for some explanation. Mercy maybe. For peace of mind to rain like manna somehow.

 4 summer ago, I met somebody. I was 19 years old. He was too. We spent that summer, and the summer after, together. Everyday almost… Sleep I would often share with him. By the time I realized I was in love, it was malignant. It was hopeless. There was no escaping.

And I don't know what happens now, and that's alrite. I don't have any secrets I need kept anymore… Thanks to my first love, I'm grateful for you. Grateful that even though it wasn't what I hoped for and even though it was never enough, it was… I feel like a free man. If I listen closely… I can hear the sky falling too.

Amen my brother.  Frank drawn with ink, pen, and pencil on 9" x 12" paper.  You can see more on my fb page.  Thanks!

Kosuke Kooan Okawa

Are you watching Project Runway?  Not sure what season this is..... 8, 12, 35?  It's still very early so I don't have a favor just yet. What I am thoroughly enjoying is Kosuke Kooan Okawa's magical afro. It's worth tuning in for in my opinion.

I got a little mention in the current issue of Make-Up Artist Magazine for my body paint work at the LA IMATS for MAC.
