New Year, New Pau!

January 4, 2016

The year 2015 had lessons to learn – and 2016 is about getting back on track.

I’m looking forward to the future with open eyes and an open heart . I’ve moved into a new home, with new resolutions, ready to take on anything! Every day is another opportunity to push yourself – to become a better you.

The past month I’ve had some time to make more sketches… and started a book club with 3 girlfriends. All from the Valley, we love to read and started the club off with Brooklyn by Colm Toibin. I just finished I Know Why the Caged Bird Sings by Maya Angelou and thought it’d be cool to draw just her eyes because she was a woman with so much soul..

I drew Steve Harvey after his hilarious fail on National television. His face is too good not to draw!

Amy Winehouse sketch

Malala is still a work in progress….

This sketch is part of a series I’m creating…

I’ll keep posting new work since one of my resolutions is to keep this blog updated with new work, artists who inspire me, trips I take, and Beauty/Fashion ideas I can’t help but share. Thanks for checking out my blog and come back tomorrow for Makeup Monday!

2016 Reminders:

Pay it forward.
You get what you give.
Work on your craft everyday.
Keep organized and throw out the junk.
Stay humble.
Try new things.
Stay true to yourself.
Keep a strong relationship with God.
Do more, say less.
Forgive but don’t forget.
Take care of the temple you call your body!

Also, it’s my birthday month! I’m embracing 29 with a kick-ass attitude.

The year of PAU.

Stuff & Stuff Podcast

September 18, 2015

My friend Jonathan Latt wrote his first book The Geek, and asked me to paint the cover for it! He directed me to make a hand-drawn map of the World, with Dungeons/Dragons dice thrown across it, and the protagonist’s favorite killing knife set in a bird’s eye view.

He had me as a guest on his new podcast called Stuff & Stuff – an hour conversation with a person of his choice to talk about “stuff”.

Check it out in the link below!

New Dodos!

February 24, 2015

I just thought, “Who have I not listened to in awhile?” I immediately thought of the Dodos. I googled their new stuff and found this gem! I love dance so much and this video is simple yet brilliantly awesome. BTW: the dancers are the members in the band!

Sculptures of Maria Rubinke

February 4, 2015

Maria is one of my favorite artists currently based out of Copenhagen, Denmark. Her ideas are dark and twisted yet undeniably intriguing..I love checking out her work frequently because she always has something new that she executes perfectly.

I’m a proud owner of this piece. It’s definitely the most favorite thing I own. Check out her brilliance below.

Art Show in New York

October 29, 2014

Day 1: Airport selfie after zero hours of sleep, super excited to get out of LA!

Natasha’s home was super cute and decorated just the way I’d expect her to : punchy colors with interesting antiques..

cutesy patterns to show off a bit of her girly side. Loved it.

PAU Pop-Up Shop

August 20, 2014

Yesterday I was thinking about what my mom said, that ” People start off selling their products right out of their car” — it didn’t occur to me right away that this actually would be a good idea for myself, but I tried it Downtown in the Arts District – and it was a success! People were totally into it, sold some shirts, and even met some other cool artists. My kind of Day Job!
