Black Friday Sale: DnA Creations

The Holidays are coming up and I am formulating a game plan. My friends and family have everything they ever need and for the most part we are aligned with shunning away the idea of consumerism Christmas and trying to envelope and re-embrace the Spirit of Christmas.

But I still love giving gifts.

Folks are either getting something that is either cooked/baked/painted/sculpted by me. If I were to buy anything, it would be of something that is handmade or by a local artisan.

So I am making a list of folks to turn to on Black Friday and Cyber Monday.

One message I got this morning is by a wife and husband creative team called DnA Creations. They mainly make work revolving around the Mexican culture, pin-ups and Day of the Dead Memoribilia.

Until I saw the following pictures and I just completely smiled.

Now I love horror flicks; as of late, I have been watching more zombie flicks than any subgenre of the genre. I know numerous couples who would LOVE these cake toppers.

So for all my zombie-lovers, here are zombies in love...

Zombies Take over Long Beach

 Jason Liwag and Garry Booth of Phone Booth Gallery are co-curators of this year's Zombie Art Show. This show was by invite only and I am happy and honored to be chosen to show this year. i am a huge fan of horror flicks and zombies happen to have a special place in my heart. (Not really. Like I wouldn't welcome one in open arms. I am the first to blast a shotgun to it's face.) But I digress...

This idea came from a friend of mine in the East Coast. She jokingly said I should do one of a zombie biting a boob. Ha! Okay, well I did and added a bit of a twist to it.

Come out and not only see my piece in person but to check out the dozens of wonderful artists on display at the Zombie Show. And if it weren't enough, the opening reception is happening the SAME night as the Downtown Long Beach Zombie Crawl and Music Festival!

 Come dressed as a zombie or bring a camera as hundreds take to the streets of Downtown Long Beach. Listen to live music. Check out the film fest. October 29, 2011. But also remember that the artshow will be free!

This was last year's zombie piece from the "Zombies Invade LA" Art show held in Downtown LA's Yojie's Shabu Shabu and Sake Restaurant. You can buy a vinyl postcard size magnet at my Etsy store.

and just as an added bonus, brain cupcakes =)... Didn't make them but I thought they were so cute!

Around one year ago, lil baby Riley was born to my college friend and my long time roommate.

She was a teeny tiny thing and immediately she started resembling after her father. but as she grew, she started showing her mama's features. and who they have is one of the most girliest daughters around.

I remember her mom (before she became a wife to my college friend and before she became a mommy) used to collect toys for her future kiddies. She had so many beanie babies, all stored in plastic tubs to keep the dust and the spiders out. I think deep down inside she knew her first child was going to be a girl.

but of course, auntie alfie has her own version of the word "girly." hahhaha!

Happy bday, lil mama!

and speaking of zombies and girly at the same time.. did you get to read this book? because it is hilarious!

It made Jane Austen a bit less boring to me =)
