INDIE 184: GO HARD!

Bronx based graffiti artist, Indie 184 is currently showing new works at Munky King on Melrose. I am a huge fan of her work. It’s colorful, exciting and always impressively executed. Her solo show, “Go Hard” consists of some super colorful, layered pieces with the underlying theme of female empowerment. These are some of the standout pieces currently on display.

This is one of my favorites-and it was the largest piece. All works are on display until May 26th. I may have to venture back down to see if anything is still available…

CONFETTI AND SPRINKLES

I was at the craft store, Michael’s recently and stumbled across this weird aisle devoted entirely to over-priced decorations for Quinceaneras. I never had, nor been to a Quinceanera, but I do know that people go all out for them and some can be as big and extravagant as a wedding.

I was particularly drawn to the assortment of colorful confetti. It’s like glitter on steroids!

I kept looking at the doll-like figures. They had them in all sizes and colors.

I actually went there to buy decorations for cupcakes and Michael’s has a way better sprinkle selection than the supermarket. I also came across, what is essentially, EDIBLE SPRAY PAINT. Now I am not a baker; so for all I know, this could be old news, but I was intrigued nonetheless and purchased a can.

So much edible decor! Sprinkles, sparkles, sprays and dyes in all colors!

HYSTERIC HAUS THROUGH IPHONE

I was going through my iPhone photos and came across these random images from the past year. Most of them have been altered using the  Picture Show app. I’m not really into Instagram. It makes pictures look too dull for my taste. These pictures are a pretty accurate look into the world of Hysteric Haus.

WHATTA JANUARY!

OMG! My manifestations for the new year have started to happen…January was NUTS! So busy….Anyway, I’m back and these are a few things that have made me very happy lately:

COLOR, COLOR, COLOR! I could take all inspiration from the color palette used in this video.

Nicki Minaj for OPI “DID IT ON ‘EM”. I freaked out when I saw this at the salon….this is very close to my favorite color of the last 5 years…

Montana Black in Pistachio. I have been obsessed with this color and have used it multiple times for Hysteric Haus related projects.

But, even more exciting than all of the above:

the return of M.I.A.

WOOD WALLS AND PICTURE FRAMES

3 DAYS ‘TIL UNIQUE LA.

Now that Horacio is back, we’ve been able to get some of the more difficult projects completed. The wood is going to be part of a wall for our booth display…we calculated and cut the planks to be varying heights and alternating colors. It looked good in my head…

I’m excited to see the result.

We also finished cutting, sanding and painting the wood picture frames. Now they just need to be screen printed and assembled.

GO TEAM HYSTERIC!

RAINBOW FRIDAY

We go through a lot of spray paint at Hysteric Haus. We go through a lot more whenever we are preparing for a show….like Unique LA.  Luckily for us, Montana Cans in Echo Park and 33Third have sales like the one today. We got the rest of what we needed for our booth design for under $100! Plus, they threw in some free stuff ‘cuz we spent so much. We ended up going to both stores to get everything we needed. I love the entrance to 33Third…so mysterious.

As soon as we got back…I finished up some art work for some products. Making a mess is so much fun!

A Very Pink Monday

A very pink Monday involved delivering some Shiny Pink‘s and Spaceman pillows to Haus Furniture,
followed by an afternoon shopping on Melrose with Drew, as she purchased some rad floral Docs. I added some new flair to my magenta Hello Kitty bag with a super cute Momiji x Hello Kitty keychain from Japan LA. We then headed to Echo Park so I could pick up some paint and krink for a new project…
