"Come Together" by Sandra Fremgen





Dear friends, 

I am happy to share my latest Panda painting "Come Together." It is debuting at Tiki Oasis's art show next week! It is an original acyclic painting 16" x 20" selling for $350, by me, Sandra Fremgen. 

 This painting is about a dance-off between two dancers each convinced that her style is the best. Before things get too crazy, Panda jumps in with his bongo drums and now everybody is having a good time. 

This is yet another painting that is a combination of things I love (dancing, night lighting, Panda, cool outfits). I hope it brought a smile to your face today.... www.PandaandMe.com

Thanks for looking!


Sandra =)

Neil Gaiman Print

(Click for larger version)
Snow, Glass, Apples
Acrylic and Digital | BUY PRINT HERE

Initially commissioned as a print for Neil Gaiman's Neverwear site, this project was consequently canceled. But I loved his short story, "Snow, Glass, Apples", and the work-in-progress so much that I finished it up anyway. :) The associated text read:

I like to think she played first with the ribbons, twined them into her raven hair, looped them around her pale neck or her tiny waist,

And then, curious, she moved the cloth to see what else was in the basket; and she saw the red, red apples.

They smelled like fresh apples, of course; and they also smelled of blood. And she was hungry. I imagine her picking up an apple, pressing it against her cheek, feeling the cold smoothness of it against her skin.

And she opened her mouth and bit deep into it...
"Snow, Glass, Apples" is © Neil Gaiman.

Gag Me With A Toon 3 at Meltdown Comics

This is my first post and I am very excited to be a new member!
I have an art piece in the group art show Gag Me With A Toon 3 at Meltdown Comics in Hollywood.

The theme of this show is 70s & 80s cartoons in which the artists re-interpret their favorite cartoons.
I chose my favorite 80s cartoon rock star Jem and gave her a vintage Art Deco style. My work is influenced by the 1920s, and Jem is all glamor and decadence. Painted with Gouache. 





Here are the show details

"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!


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!

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:

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.


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:

Tetrisarina

I did this piece for Autumn Society's 8-Bit and Beyond show last August, and I just put it up on my Etsy store... whoo! I added Swarovski crystals to it, so it glitters in person : D  I looove(d) tetris growing up. I thought an elegant Russian lady would be fun to try and work in with the theme!

SOLD!
