DAY 17: An Art Piece (Painting, Drawing, Sculpture, etc.)...

Featuring: Jennifer Lau (main cupcake baking genius), Shirley Lau (in the sugar bowl), Suzi Hesness (egg carrier), Christine Hopkins (cupcake decorator), Bobby Slocum (manual cupcake remover), Fawn Stephens (Sprinkle Queen), Angel Snowball Lau-Slocum (rabbit in upper left hand frame), and Hazel Bean Lau (puppy in upper right hand frame).

Description: A drawing made for Jennifer Lau's 26th birthday, the second installment of the "Birthday Series" (as I have affectionately dubbed it) where my dear friend, Suzi Hesness, has created drawings for her friends that encompass their deepest loves in life and some of the people or animals they care about the most.
Type of Art: Drawing
Artist: Suzi Hesness, 26, who I have the pleasure of calling a dear friend and who I will always marvel at her ability to see the world in such a colorful way and voices her love for what she treasures in life through her work.

Description: Some of my favorite drawings from an artist that I had the pleasure of coming across his work in the early 2000's, thanks to an old friend of mine named Rachel Ortiz (my music soulmate!) and have always been touched by the simplistic nature of his work and the ability to touch upon the dearest of moments moments or simple wants/needs that the human race strives for: companionship, love, comfort, contentment. The ones shown are some of my absolute favorite pieces. I will always be a fan of the artist that values the most touching moments of life and wants the same things out of life.
Type of Art: Drawing/Painting
Artist: Kurt Halsey Frederiksen, 33, from Racine, Wisconsin. Was first introduced to this artist through Art Star Gallery in Philadelphia, PA.
