Geeky Art and School Supplies

I know, I am a super geek. I just cant help it. I am a nerd for school supplies. It is a secret of mine. Well, not so secret anymore. I loved going to college or any school just so I had an excuse to buy new clothes and new school supplies. haha I stopped into Office Depot yesterday to buy some postal supplies to ship off a tattoo drawing, and I was pleasantly surprised that the school supplies were already out! Which got me thinking about all the cool and funky school and office supplies that are out there in the vast world.

Check these out!

 

 

 

 

 

 

Then, I got to thinking. My most favorite time I went to a college, was when I attended the Art Institute in Colorado. I was so geeked out on all the art supplies I had received. The same goes for Westwood College and TCC. I had changed my major a few times and each major required different supplies. I have switched around from fashion design, merchandising, interior design back to fashion then graphic design. All the awesome colored pencils, markers, drafting supplies, cameras and editing programs.

Most of these supplies I have piles of, that I need to really organize. If I took a photo of my art space, you would do a hard eye rolling and get an instant migraine. Hubby is planning on putting some shelves up and I couldn’t be anymore excited.

Here are some other cluttered, messy art spaces that make me feel less guilty about mine:

So here is to the geeky, artsy-fartsy, nerdy creative people I call friends! Until we meet again, stay creative and crazy!

Goodnight! xoxox, Cecilia

Sugar Skull Studio

I wanted to do a post on something I stumbled across on Instagram. I don’t remember how I found them, but you know how it is.

Let me introduce Sugar Skull Studio, a Vancouver based hair salon and Massage studio that is a mix of old school and eclectic style and I am totally inspired by! I love the mix of a studio/hair salon. This place also has a tattoo shop feel with bold artwork on the walls and an urban atmosphere. Make sure you follow them on Instagram under Sugar_Skull_Studio

I hope to open my own studio where I can offer many services with hair, makeup, nails but so much more, I want to create a fun, cool atmosphere. I also want to tattoo there once I become licensed. I could go on and on about my plans for my studio, but I wanted to share some inspiration with you guys on some cool places. Check them out!

 

 

 

 

 

 

I hope this inspired you as much as it has for me. Right now, I am juggling a bunch of things right now, from cleaning the house, laundry, blogging and designing a few logos/flyers for the salon and I finally have the energy to do all this because I made a much needed stop at Starbucks for my fav, Cinnamon Dulce frap with an extra shot of expresso to get me going this morning.

I hope yall have an awesome day! See ya in the next post!

Face Paint Friday

If you tuned in earlier this week, my blog was down for a few days due to some auto renewal issue with google, but I finally got it all figured out and the blog is back up. I am planning on switching from blogger to Wordpress in the near future or may just keep my blog here and create a new one there. I am still deciding.

So how was everyone’s week? I stayed pretty busy along with hubby and our holiday week we spent working. I had a facepaint gig with Tattoo Skills on 4th of July and got to enjoy the fireworks.

I had painted my face and my arm in the beginning and by the time the night was over, I had rubbed it off or I sweated it off. But I had a good time. I got to use my new Essential Colors Wolfe Palette that I ordered from Sillyfarm.com

For this weeks video, I posted a video on what I keep in my face paint kit. If you are not subscribed, go ahead and click below and subscribe! You will totally make my day!

Don’t forget to SUBSCRIBE!

 

Aside from facepainting, I have been in and out of the salon while the owners are getting it ready for our grand opening on July 20th. I have been offering my clients a discount and letting them see where I will be. I love all my clients, they are so sweet and they are the reason I love being a hair stylist.

Check out these lovely before and after photos: (I kept forgetting to take a before photo so that’s why the hair is wet haha)

It is friday, and have tons of drawings to do and cleaning, so I hope you all enjoy your day and weekend! Thanks for stopping by!
