WHAT UP Y’ALL!! We’re in Tucson, AZ for the 4th Ave Winter Street Fair! It was pouring rain yesterday, but the sun has come out, the air is crisp, and we’re selling prints, jewelry, and some brand new creepycute gingerbread men Leslie made! If you’re in the area, please stop by - there are so many cool artists to see!! 💖🐧🐙 - Kristina #gotTPV #4thAveTucson #4thAveWinterFair #illustration #graphicart #gingerbreadman #artistalley #artshow #starvingartist #livingthatartistlife #ourfaces #handmade #creepycute #gothicart #creatureart (at Historic Fourth Avenue) https://www.instagram.com/p/BrInmmvlZiP/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=1kfp37cchis0m

Another con wrapped, and thus - a post-con libation post! We had a great time being next to Octaviana Corsetry and across from @moonlight_wares, and it was awesome seeing @wyngdlyon again! Thanks to all who stopped by to see us, you helped make this a magical weekend! 😄🎩🐧🐙 - Kristina & Leslie #gotTPV #con #steampunk #gaslightgathering #thatsawrap #libations #coffee #conartists #endofshow https://www.instagram.com/p/BopwPEmD6mV/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=158dayry5i3xa

Moana meets Treasure Planet in this new piece we’re debuting at #gaslightexpo this year!

Time for Portal Frame close ups! 🖼💚 Taking close up shots of resin art is so much fun. You can really see some of the cool interactions between the different pigments and additives used to create the frame. In my latest round of frames I used three different kinds of paint or pigment, two kinds of resin, and a little rubbing alcohol to get these effects. I still have a handful of my #rickandmorty inspired frames left from Long Beach Comic Con, so if you happened to order one off our etsy page, it'll ship quickly 🙂 -Leslie . .

The last of the Ricks I did at #longbeachcomiccon - specifically, Ocarina of Time-era Link!Rick. As much as I can’t imagine Rick as a silent protagonist, I still think this would make for a hell of an interesting game!! - Kristina #gotTPV #sketchcommissions #ricksanchez #mashup #fanart #sketch #illustrator #artistsalley #lbcc2018 #characterart #theinfiniterick #rickandmorty #comicconartist #legendofzelda #link #ocarinaoftime #videogames #nostalgia #HYAAAH https://www.instagram.com/p/BnmsuXClalC/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=155mpvi3jhtqy
