THE TIES THAT BIND US

…a collaborative piece done by myself ( .pop.art / ) ( ), and depicting a year ago hanging frames for OCWS’s 1yr Anniversary Celebration & Gallery Wall at . The piece was humorously conceptualized after ripping the backs off of several frames so they would lay flat on the wall, and likening them to tiny looking neck ties, haha. We worked together on this piece—the concept through execution—and showed it at Art show a few weeks ago also at Radiant Beer Co. All 3 entities: OC Walk & Shoot, WOCA, and Radiant truly embody community and belonging and expression for many…so this piece is to symbolize that using photos from last year’s setup & celebration (also a handcut stencil of a pic of the literal frames on the wall) , and is on display again TONIGHT for OCWS’s 2nd Anniversary & Gallery at Radiant, 6p…come through!

TAMMY, COOL AS F**K!
…my mom was a work of art — in life, and in literal tribute creation yesterday for her Celebration of Life. The day yesterday was beyond emotional and amazing… the amount of love and support in the room for her, and for our family, was fu***ng awesome. But this art piece, made by and I: pasted digital manipulation in my .pop.art style, atop her 10, TEN!, pieces she made in my classes, was the personal contribution that I needed. TODAY is her 64th birthday. So, happy birthday, Mom... I love you so much. We love you so much. We miss you so much. Yesterday’s packed, standing room only, turnout proved the impact you made on this world, you beautiful human; you work of art. ❤️🥹

ALL TYPES—LITERALLY!
…an organic night to bring your own project to work in, be around/meet (or not meet) like people & creative energy to learn from each other, share our work & processes & learn from each other informally & grow…providing you space to be you, with others like you.

…this first one will likely be loosest, with some meet & greet, along with some loose discussion around the scope of the terms “art”, “design”, “creativity” & “make”.

…we have some guest speakers being scheduled for future Art Night Tuesdays for a little more formal learning, too!

…brought to you by , , , & yours truly ( by .pop.art 👋) & will be reoccurring EVERY 1st TUESDAY of the MONTH as part of Radiant’s “To Do Tuesdays” 🤙
