My NYC Showcase Adventure

Hey Hotties.
Me w/ my art at the RAW NYC Panorama Showcase, at The Cutting Room in NYC


















Wanted to tell you about the art from my RAW Showcase in a way that doesn't suck. Before I get into the artwork I will say that an artist from France asked me for a french kiss, and that someone was topless in the fashion show (was intentional). Anyway, I showed 7 pieces:

"Starbucks" 2014, Mixed Media.




































Drink too much coffee so I drew Starbucks, and then I thought why not spill actual coffee on it since I'm such a cool and forward-thinking hipster.

Also gave the Starbucks girl a makeover. Since I think I know what's best for her, I gave her glitter shades to complement the Topless Starbucks Hottie that she is.

Someone bought this, it didn't take long to make so I figured $20 was okay. If you like this or any of my other stuff send me an email at dliciw@gmail.com and I'll make one for your special self.

"Starry Eyed" 2012, Acrylic Paint.


















This is a painting I made in college, when the most important thing in life was passing my exams and wearing the best outfit to a themed frat party. 

I was in love or something, and also like the colors blue and purple, so I made this for an art class assignment. No, I am not in love with this person anymore. He probably isn't reading this. If I'm wrong, nothing will happen and I will probably take another nap.

"Rose" 2014, Mixed Media

















An idea I came up with when I was playing a drinking game with my sister. I decided that rose petals should be on street lamps because that's how crazy people think. 

"Bicycle" 2007-2014, Mixed Media

You may have seen this bicycle before if you've read my blog in the past. I've been adding to this collage for 30 years. Before my show I added white paint on the bottom because I was bored. Guess it looks like baby snow. 

"Swirlie" 2014, Mixed Media.
This is the final version of a swirlie I've been drawing for a few months. 
Probably the cutest it's ever going to get. 

"Underwater" 2014, Mixed Media.
The word "soul" is underwater since I think a person's true self takes time to discover and is buried under the surface like an ice berg. 

The pink boat is the Titanic's cuter sister that didn't sink and has free Happy Hour Fireball Shots at the bar. 

"The Subway" 2014, Mixed Media.
And this is the last one. I sold 4 of these because I guess people like flowers 
and the train conductor's sexy voice. I take the subway a lot
and I wanted to illustrate my experience as a freaking commuter.

So I was excited and honored to have a show in NYC and it went way better than my first one last summer. If you want to look at my artist profile from the company that ran the show, you can do that here

Next time I post here I'll share what else I draw/paint that doesn't suck.

Have a nice week and stuff.
