Last week we had our friend Brenda on the show and we had a good time! We got to just hang out and talk shop about her artwork, her writing and the things that inspire her most. Much of Brenda's artwork centers on childhood and adolescent themes. We discussed how a lot of her pieces represent a specific longing for her youth and how a lot of people can relate to that same universal desire for an escape. In addition to being a painter and a sculptor, Brenda likes to write as well, allowing her to truly express her unique voice. What it really cool and unique is that Brenda often times combines the two-- her art and her writing-- by including text in her images.
We really had fun with Brenda and so we'll hopefully have her back sometime in the future!

BLKGLD

This last week on All Dressed Up and Nowhere to Go we had some special guests on our show, Christopher Singam and Christian Lorenzini from BLKGLD. Everyone better keep a look out for BLKGLD because we have a feeling that these guys are going places. Completely self-taught, Singam and Lorenzini are artists out of Long Beach who are currently designing and producing their own t-shirt line. Let me tell tell you now, having seen some of the finished products up close, they've really got some talent. These two 19-year-olds are determined to get their names and their brand out there and with their poise and professionalism, they've got what it takes! Not only are they designers and graphic artists, Singam and Lorenzini are currently looking to expand their company and branch out into photography and film. Seems like the sky is the limit for these ambitious, college students, but they are well on their way to making things happen for themselves.
