BJD Doll Elf in Skinny Jeans and Tank Top Summer Photoshoot
Today, I made a new photoshoot of my Elf guy doll. It has been a while since I had featured him in a photoshoot. It is so difficult to find new outfits for this big boy. This outfit was made by Dollmore. The elf guy doll was made by Dream Valley. He is the first bjd doll guy doll I ever purchased. I have been meaning to add more guy dolls to my collection. I am currently waiting for my finances to align. I can’t just get random dolls whenever one picks my fancy. It is important to exercise a...
Pouring Art: Green Glow, Organized Swipe, Cuban Flag, and Magma
Today, I wanted to show you another four set of pouring paintings. I have gotten into the habit of making them on a weekly basis. The problem is coming up with a theme for each new project. I have the technique. All I am missing is a theme. So, this is what I came up with. The first one I was going for a tree type of feel. It ended up looking a little predominantly green, with some pink glows here and there. The second painting was done with a swiping mold. I painted the first waves before moving it...
Black Swallowtail Butterfly and Zebra Butterfly Watercolor Paintings
Today, I wanted to show you another set of watercolor paintings. These two butterflies I painted regularly frequent my garden. A few, I only see them close to sunset.

I have been going through a watercolor phase. It is...
Sazon Cubano Miami Beach Foodie Restaurant Review
On the weekend, I went to Miami Beach with my family. We packed light in order to eat food after we got bored of splashing about. We chose to eat at Sazon.

It has new chairs and decorations. Instead of a piano lady, they now have live bands. They play music in the Patio of the restaurant. This patio also includes a mini bar. It is a...
Hollow Knight Bugs Playing Poker Painting Parody
Today, I got around to making my new Hollow Knight parody. This one took a little longer to make because I had a lot of characters to work with. I was making a parody of a painting called A Friend in Need, 1903. This painting was made by Cassius Marcellus Coolidge. Coolidge did an entire painting series of Dogs playing poker. From all his poker dog paintings, I chose the one I liked best for my Hollow Knight parody. Aside from poker, Coolidge has his dogs playing pool and other betting games. In my version, I had the Hollow Knight...
