blossomfire.com —  I just graduated from UCLA with a MFA in animation and have my BFA in Photography, Drawing, Sculpture and Video. I am currently involved with some freelance animation work and am also creating new designs in earrings, jewelry, and other fun fashions. I love tap dancing so much I take a class wherever convenient. My garage is set up so I can practically build or fix anything and will very soon open a furniture repair shop.  You can see that I can’t stop creating.  My mom says I was born with a set of crayons in my hands. I love my half siblings on my fathers side and craft with them every day I’m with them. We started melting together perler beads and I decided to open an etsy shop of mostly perler bead earrings. I love making them and love wearing them. When I saw Lily Scott on American Idol with her beautiful peacock earrings, I was hooked on feathers. Turns out when my half siblings bought me a pair of feather earrings they were the exact same ones.

We’re able to do this by customizing IKEA cabinets with doors, panels and drawer faces measured and drilled to fit any IKEA kitchen, new or old.

33stewartavenue.com —   I've always dabbled with artwork. I took painting classes in the 4th grade and studied graphic design in college. My first love has always been photography. I love the freedom that digital cameras have given us. In the old days- you would shoot a roll of film- wait a day or two while it was getting developed- simply to find out you only got 5 pictures in focus. Now with digital- You can take a hundred pictures of something and get about 20 good ones- immediately. I love film- but i really love digital. It's immediate. My camera of choice right now is the Canon PowerShot S5 IS. It's a great camera and serves my needs. I started doing my artwork professionally a few years ago as a release from my day job. I spend a lot of time in the car (argh!) and I always have my camera with me looking for something to photograph. I'm attracted to what i call the  C.H.I.P.S version of LA. I gravitate towards buildings and parts of town that look like it could still be 1977. That is the LA i knew growing up in Georgia. I try to take different routes to and from work and i'm always driving through different neighborhoods.  Most of my artwork comes from what i drive past on a daily basis. I'm inspired by the culture of this city. In my free time- I enjoy traveling, photography, painting, and working on a Mac. I enjoy a good meal with friends. I live in Los Angeles with my Art Director wife Celeste and our dog Buddie - a rescued Chihuahua mix. Weekends at CRAFTED at the Port of Los Angeles
