LA 2008
So my life has been a little crazy insane of late (actual relevant info forthcoming in next posts, I swear XD) and I haven't updated in a month but--I've just been informed that my artwork briefly appeared in the 3rd episode of an LA crime show called "Southland".

Backtracking in order to provide some background on this: lingerie store Bizzy B of Hollywood in CA



ordered a couple of big prints from me last year so they could put them up in their fitting rooms.



Next thing I know, the whole thing ends up on NBC. Okay, so it's not like the camera focused on my art specifically or anything, but as [info]doortoriver tells me, this really was a directorial choice. My stuff was deemed appropriate enough to hang there in the shot. T__T

Episode link: http://www.hulu.com/watch/69629/southland-see-the-woman
You can catch glimpses of the three prints between 16:50 and 17:40. This segment appears to be about a transexual who works in the store and is being harassed by a couple of unsavory individuals. The cops try to help.





Upper left corner. Violet, Rose and Indigo.



Clearer shot :)



The shot actually took place in the store right next door to Bizzy B, as it is owned by the same people.




Thanks to [info]ojouchan for the heads up, and for sending my butt over there in the first place. :3

Heeehee. Tags are made to be fun. :D I suspect mine will soon stop having any semblance of order. Ah well.

Right. I'd like to thank the Academy....

(Thanks :) It's not like I actually did much of anything. A friend saw this completely by accident and emailed me about it.)

By the way, what are your plans for the Madhouse with Geocities shutting down later this year? You've got some beautiful work there, I hope it won't be disappearing.

Thank you and no worries. I've had plans to move Madhouse onto my website server anyway, so I'll just have to implement those earlier :) Wow, Geocities shutting down--feels like the end of an era. I remember when everyone had a Geocities account...

It really does feel like the end of an era, yeah. I'm glad you have plans to move it. I'm sorting out where to move my Geocities site as well, what a pain.

Well, when we've been on the interwebs this long...lol.

You know, I don't think I've been to your site, unless I've forgotten about it. :X

*HUGS DAWN TIGHT* It is pretty cool indeed.

And aren't you just about to have a baby, young woman? :D :D

Yes'um. I'm due 2 weeks from today...but maybe in a week or so? We'll see... ^__^

This is exciting. And you're inspiration. You're a mom several times over at this point, you've got a day job, and you still find time to practice your art (sure, it's never enough time, but still....)
[info]jenelycam wrote:

Well, as for practicing art...it's been months. I've just been too tired and stressed to do it. Sad. I hope to be able to do more once the baby's born? Am I deluding myself? Probably, but I don't plan to quit. ;P

That is extremely frigging awesome. I would not be surprised in the slightest if you get a couple of sales from it. Really.

Heee. Well, maybe someone in the cast and crew liked them? I have no idea. It's not like anyone watching the show would actually know, unless they were really familiar with my stuff beforehand. Still. So coooooool.

That's exactly what I mean. If the director liked them enough to borrow them from the other store, hey, it could happen.

Looks like they put up the prints at last. Next time you're in H-wood, drop on by and see them. :)

AWESOME SAUCE!! :D Yes, let's have more product placement on teevee, and subsequent orders to pour in, yes? yes!! ^_^

Congrats, Celine, that is way awesome.

I don't know about orders pouring in, but dude, mah shit is on teeeveeeeeeee. This will never stop being amazing.

And thank youuuu ^^

....I've been hit by the cute bug and am currently doodling naked chibis. Yeah, I know, that sounds wrong, doesn't it?

hellz yeah it's amazing! :D

And a cute bug, eh? Celine, I've got just the thing for YOU.

Today I discovered something called Vocaloid. It's voice synthesizing software. I'm not sure how the chibis entered into it (i think they're from a dancing program?), but here: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=a1Gt4RoRfPA

and here!: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=EPgQy2z7PM0

oooh, SO ADORABLEEE!! XD Also, there's a theme song of sorts to go with all chibis everywhere: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Cm2IQ0y2J0Q

I can't get it out of my head. LOL
