October Events!!!

 October will be a very busy and fun month for me! I am showing my art at three different festivals around LA and will be doing several free Anime drawing workshops at libraries around town. I am particularly excited because for the first time in my life, I am making prints of my work  to sell at these festivals!

The first event I will be a part of is the 4th annual Mole festival at historic Olvera Street on the border between Chinatown and Downtown LA. There will be an abundance of Mole dishes served, beautiful art shown and authentic mexican music played, this is a great family event!

On Sunday, I will have my own booth at the 6th annual Dia De Los Muertos art and music festival in uptown Whittier. This huge street festival is sure to be a great one! I will be showing art and selling prints of my work thanks to Yolanda at Casita Del Pueblo  at which I will be having my solo show “Grullas de Papel” (Paper Cranes) in early 2012, stay tuned for that!!
