"Is This Thing On" at Gallery 1988

THIS friday, January 7th, Gallery 1988 will have a huge art opening of a comedian-themed group show, which I had the honor and pleasure of being part of!

Is This Thing On?

at Gallery 1988

7020 Melrose Ave,

Los Angeles, CA 90038

please contact the gallery for inquiry/purchase/preview.

+ see the full list of "show bill" (who's painting whom) here!+

I was asked to paint Lisa Lampanelli and Amy Sedaris, and I had a lot of fun going back and watching their respective routines. Two raunchy ladies! My type of gals! ; D 

Both their paintings were influenced by an over-arching "alice in wonderland" theme, which you'll understand when you see them!

Anyway, I can't WAIT to show you my two pieces! I will post pics after the opening tomorrow night! Hope to see you all there!

Lil' Mermaids a sparklin'

I recently did a slew of tiny colored mermaid illustrations for Cactus Gallery's Small Works show.

Each mermaid is around 2.5"x3", framed, and embellished with glitter and swarovski crystals.  That's right. Mermaids. And sparkleys. COMBINED.

No better gift out there, folks. They're perfect for lil' stocking stuffers!!! (and I'll do commissions, if you want a personalized one! ; D

$25 each, contact Sandra ( semastroianni70 at yahoo dot com) )at Cactus for purchase details! : D

3G Show pieces with Autumn Society

Here are my pieces for the Autumn Society's upcoming 3G show at Gallery 1988.

The 3 Gs of 3G are Ghostbusters, Gremlins, and Goonies, so each artist had to interpret all three movies in three separate pieces.

These were super fun to make; I was very inspired by old Victorian portraits of children with their pets & dolls, and was thinking about the iconic elements of all three movies that would pair well with children/young adults. And people who know my art know I love drawing/painting ladies and animals, so this was a way to marry the theme with my style.

I wanted to also make them very somber and ornate, like small Victorian cameos, hence the framing technique.

Here are the show details:

THE 3G SHOW
Gallery 1988 Los Angeles:

Los Angeles, CA 90038

Friday, September 3rd, 2010 (7pm-10pm), with special guests!

AMOS Showtime piece

I saw over on fellow GDG member Eliza Frye's blog that she had done this amazing piece for a group show being organized by the German musician, Amos, and dropped them an email asking if they were still looking for artists.

Here's a link to the project

I was -just- under the deadline- they shipped me a blank album cover, and I got to create a design for it! I sent it off today; a day late, but then again, I just got the cover on Saturday!

It was a pretty fun project- the album covers will tour around different galleries across Europe and be available for sale in person and online.

I'll definitely post more details once they receive it and post it on their site! : D

Here are some Work In Progress shots:
