Thesis show!!!!

The show on Friday was PACKED! It began at 6pm and my boss, family and family friends were able to go. I got there around 6:30pm and saw that my image of my sister was on the first floor on the left! It was a great experience and we received the published book dedicated to the show! Can't believe it! I have something in the Society of Illustrators!!!!!

(It'll stay up till the 28th of May)



Today, at 6pm, we're having another show dedicated to the graduating illustration class of 2010. A follow up from the AMT show I posted up earlier... It'll take place at the Art Directors club gallery and it'll be open all this week. I'm heading there pretty soon and I'll post the images up asap.


I'm just so shocked, surprised and happy that all of this is happening... graduating in 2 WEEKS.... AAHH!

Just so grateful for everything thats happening right now.

AMT show for senior class!

The class I TA for and our mural project!

On Saturdays, I TA (teacher assistant) at my school for a Sr. Illustration class. Our project for the semester is to create murals for the pediatric center at Brookdale hospital. Check out some of the photos here!

Its such a great opportunity and will definitely be a great experience for "my" senior high school students and myself. They are currently painting their final versions of their individual concepts and in about 2 more Saturdays, we'll be going back to the hospital.

Senior Thesis cont'd!!!!

Here they are! The theme was obsession and mine was "Obsession with Nail Art & Long Nails". Had so much fun with the process and I learned a lot along the way. I can't wait to keep working on this theme outside of school.

¡Aquí están! El tema fue "Obsesión" y el mío era "La obsesión con uñas de acrílico". Me diverti tanto con el proceso y he aprendido mucho. No puedo esperar para seguir trabajando en este tema fuera de la escuela.

New Year and Final Semester 2010!!!!!!!!

Excited and anxious at the same time, this year is pretty important. Its my last semester at Parsons. and now the question is... What's going to happen when its over??!! Yeah, I know, job(S), bills, DEBT! I'm ready!...no...i was just kidding!

Besides all that mess, I HAVE SOME NEWS/ UPDATES!!!

Lets start with December 2009... Before our winter break, students were chosen to be in the senior thesis show and I GOT IN!!! It was a surprise but I know that I put a lot into the project and I'm very proud of it. The show will be in May. THEN during my break, I went to Peru for the first time and finally met the other side of the family which we've (my sister and I) never met and had only seen through the computer (online chat). The experience was amazing. Finally meeting family and experiencing the culture that I couldn't really understand being here in the U.S was great. Although I was raised with the traditions and the culture... its not the same. THEN about two weeks ago, I got an email from an instructor saying I got into the Society of Illustrators!!!!!!!!!! see the illustration here. I'm so excited, the reception is in May and I can't wait! And lastly, I am a TA (teacher assistant) at school again for a senior in high school illustration class. We're painting a mural at the Brookdale Hospital in Brooklyn, NY and its going to be a great experience for all of us!

I want to try to post as often as possible and include pictures of everything I mentioned above. And I'll post up some images of my assignments, jobs...etc. OH, I'm working on a website...look out for it!
