Artsy Sister is Back from the Mexican Vacation
I have not posted in over a week because I was on vacation in Cancun with my family. You can expect a lot of blogs related to my vacation in the near future. For now, this is just a small morsal of what it is to come. I came. I saw. I ate. My blogs are going to be a combination of foodie, sightseeing tours and hotel visits. For now, I am just sorting through all the information. My name is Teresita Blanco, the Artsy Sister. Bye, bye and God bless.
Teresita Blanco Self Portrait Van Gogh and Gustav Klimt Style
Today, I wanted to show you two self-portraits I made over the weekend. In the old days, Self Portraits was a way for artists to promote themselves and their skills. In the spirit of that tradition, I made two self-portraits. The first one I made it Van Gogh style. I have a lot of similarities with Van Gogh.

He has been supporting my writing and my artworks since...
Pouring Art Disability Pride Month: Disability, Bipolar, and Autism
(Disability Pride Flag) Today, I got around to posting the flags I made for Disability pride month. I made three different versions of the disability flag.

(Disability...
Hollow Knight The Birds The Belflies Movie Parody Fanart
Today, I did a silly new Hollow Knight parody. I was getting bored of making painting references, so I decided to reference a movie. In this one, I am mimicking the movie poster of the movie the Birds. The Birds is a famous movie by Alfred Hitchcock. One day, all the birds start attacking humans. They take breaks every so often, before starting again. In the world of the Hollow Knight, the equivalent of those aggressive birds are the Belflies. You first encounter them in the City of Tears. They attack the player as soon as you approach them....
Blue Cat BJD Doll Dearmine in Blue Dress
Today, I did a new bjd doll photoshoot. I had my bjd doll dearmine cat sporting a blue dress. I also changed up her ears. This is the good thing about having magnetic ears. If you get bored of their original ears, you can just swap them out. She is currently using the ears that belong to my blue fox doll. It is a perfect fit. I did some photo manipulation to focus on the color blue. This helps to highlight all the blue that is found on the kitty cat and her surroundings. The gimmick is done...
