10 fun art facts you might not know about me.
1. My mom bought me an airbrush gun and I actually started airbrushing around 11/12 then again in high school.
2. My junior year (I think), I painted a mural on the wall of my high school.
3. Graffiti was my first love.
4. I went to 2 art colleges, but dropped out of both.
5. I come from a family of artists. My mother was a painter and jewelry maker, my sister is a seamstress and can draw really good and even my grandmother was an artist and legend at reupholstering furniture.
6. My beginning years was focused on customizing clothing and I was really good at it.
7. I started drawing on jeans with Sharpies in middle school for money.
8. I tried to be a tattoo artist once. In 2020…I did one tattoo and never another one.
9. Art class (and being a young mom) was the only thing preventing me from becoming a product of my environment.
10. My art doesn’t pay my bills so tbh, I’m scared to venture into this world, but it feels right so I’m sure it’ll make sense later ❤️
The first 10 years of this journey was customizing clothing.
The second 10 years was spent focusing on graphic design.
The next 10 will be combining all of talents and seeing what happens…
Cheers to being an artist of many forms ✨
Decided to keep it simple this time….
I LOVE flipping thrifted items. I found this table for $7 and decided to make it look cool for @karinachanelle bedroom. I kinda ran out of resin but I did my best with what I had lol
How did I do?
This wasn’t as easy as I made it look…
I have severe carpal tunnel so my hand went numb every 4 seconds and the airbrush gun messed up the entire time.
But, I love the outcome! Don’t know what imma do with this but it was fun to make.. #bexdidit
The original idea was to just create Left Eye, but there’s always an inner voice saying, “Nah B, we can go bigger…” so that’s what I did.
I brainstormed what other 3 women inspired me….
Left Eye: creative and very intuitive
Lauryn Hill: AUTHENTIC and versatile
Lil Kim: Feminine energy and money maker
Queen Latifah: BOSS energy, demands respect
These women were in their early 20’s when they made these songs that will forever live on. My goal is never to create “trendy” but “INTENTIONAL.”
I’m working on figuring out how to monetize from my art without selling my soul…
