Creating Vintage Chick
In Chalmette Louisiana, I started thinking about the old matchbook girls. Where did they go? How can I incorporate that idea into my modeling or painting? An Idea was born. I pulled out my hand stretched canvas (premade a week earlier) (Primed & Gessoed by me as well). I sketched my initial idea, very roughly with my drawing pencils, and got to work. I started to work in a way that was a little unorthodoxed for even me. I...

In the paint placeholder
There is always Art, painting and other behind the scenes of creation going on at Avos Design's creative building. If we don't walk out covered in paint or tired from holding up set lighting, then we're not doing it right we say!

Let me know what...

Refinishing the ‘insides’ of old home cabinets
Sometimes do you feel just a sense of disgust and despair that stems from the daily encounters you have with your gross old cabinetry? Well so do I. I once was like you, but now I have refinished, nice, clean-smelling, modern, and rodent proof cabinets. Let's face it we all get 'shystered' into a home that looks nice on the outside and decent on the inside, until you start to notice the little details aren't quite up to par. My house had...
Metal Bronzed upcycled Fan
Why get rid of that old fan when you can 'recycle', 'upcycle' and beautify your existing one! Not only is it good for the earth to upcycle, but you will get a functional piece of decor that matches your existing color scheme. I took an old 'bigbox store' generic white box fan & gave it a breath of fresh life. Essentially you can use this technique on any item of decor that doubles as a functional item. Here is a...
"Don't blink when you see beauty, embrace it and burn that image into your mind. These moments are what make life worth living, don't' miss them."
