Opening Saturday one of my favorite artists Joshua Petker.
For this exhibition, Petker expanded his interest in identity and celebrity, and focused on stars from Hollywood’s golden age.
“The first spark of inspiration came after a friend gave me a copy of Kenneth Anger’s Hollywood Babylon,” Petker says. “The book is filled with torrid tales of violence and sex, and it led me to my familiar pondering about how one’s image transcends reality; how it belongs to the culture as a whole, and is thus open for exploitation and interpretation by anyone who feels a relationship with a celebrity’s image.”
Using acrylic and ink, Petker re-imagined Joan Crawford, Audrey Hepburn and Frances Farmer, among others, in his dreamy if haunting aesthetic. In his painting “Ginger Rogers Without Makeup,” the subject is decorated with bursts of color and unsettling smeared lipstick, but the composition is softened by the careful use of textured negative space.

I am working on a new blog/zine branching out from the world of just me to cover different things. Product reviews, different art, culture, style and of course openings in LA and hopefully other parts of the world depending on the amount of contributors i can get.
So i will be taking submissions. So Do you have products you want me to review, or something you are passionate about that you would like to have a feature column?
Please let me know.
I was one of the lucky non artists invited to the artist opening of Art in The Streets at MOCA. Which was actually so distracting with all the amazing people mixed with beautiful installations and a span of generations of street artistry that i had to revisit the show this week.
I was a bit disappointed at the Bansky room which looked very thrown together.
If you are going to be in Los Angeles before August its very much worth your time to visit this show. Even for those who are not huge street art fans.
Show Runs from May 17-Aug 8th

I love Adam Wallacavage & Natalia Fabia!!!!!!!!
Last night was the artist opening for the In the Streets exhibit at MOCA. It is so big i couldn’t get through 1/2 of it and we were there for 4 hours. But the distraction of each rooms greatness , the ridiculous amount of celebrities , and the many stop and chats didn’t help,
So ill be going back i recommend any fan of street art or just a fan of installations (like me) go see this show.
One of my highlights was meeting super character actor Jon Gries who has been in many of my all time favorite cult classics. Esp Terror Vision, i told him that. I think he though that was silly, but was very nice.
That was one of many highlights of the opening.
Ill have photos to add later of this event for anyone who cares.
I must say that after living in Los Angeles for 12 years i sort of love it. The culture here underneath the glimmer facade is inspiring.

Hello ladies.
I am starting to do test shots.
Please submit to me if you are interested. I am looking for new faces so its just a few shots to see what your modeling capabilities are. You would need to come camera ready.
Total time commitment will be probably 10 minutes or less. We will be taking a few shots in my studio.
After review i will be picking girls for my summer/fall editorial shoots.
Please check out my website if you are not familiar with my work www.jessicalouise.com
Specifically am looking for girls 16-25
One facial piercing ok
Some tattoos are ok although no chest,neck,face or hands.
Please have experience modeling apparel.
Shots in your panties and a ton of nudes are not the same as fashion modeling.
Affiliation with semi porn or porn sites ei:suicide girls,gods girls etc sorry but i have a young demographic. SO i cant have you model no matter how lovely you are. If i choose you for my creative/editorial upcoming shoots for summer the rate is TFP and some trade.
Please contact me with any questions.
[email protected]
In case you were looking for something from a past collection or one of a kind sample i will be listing a ton of stuff over the next few weeks on my ebay. I need to make room for materials, so these clothes need a new home. 🙂

I was planning on going out tonight but the secret artist party was just to tight of a list sadly. I have gotten to go to the last two major events for that Artist here so im not complaining.
I should be cutting all that fabric behind me into shapes anyway.
I hope you all had an eventful Oscar night.
Marguerite my new cat girl. I just printed theses last night. I’m really happy with the colors i mixed for the hair its been a while since i’ve done a gradient element when printing.
I love silk screening sometimes:)
I hope you like her.
I added these to the shop:
