Here we are again, another dfrnt piece, another dfrnt video. We put aside our precious acrylic & wood and went back to simple pencil & paper for this one. Be patient, it picks up in the middle, we wanted to have a little bit of regular speed pencil work so viewers get an idea of how slow this process actually is before we pick up the pace. And yes, that’s another Bomba Estereo track, if you haven’t added them to your music collection yet, you best get on that

This recaps our latest original painting, it’s for a burlesque show, hence the theme. It will also be on display tonight at the Playhouse in Hollywood along with 12 of our other paintings! It looks easy now, but it actually took days to paint, at least 6 long days which are documented on the video, not to mention almost two weeks to design and plan it before the actual painting part. The music is from one of our favorite bands, BOMBA ESTEREO, an inspiring favorite since we first heard em a few years ago, definitely buy that album, you won’t regret it. The piece will be on display this Thursday and Friday at our Hollywood & LA shows
PARKING FOR HOLLYWOOD PLAY HOUSE SHOW & DRESS CODE
Playhouse is in the heart of Hollywood and parking is not great there. Playhouse does not have its own parking lot, there is a lot behind Playhouse which I believe charges $10. There is also valet at the Playhouse. You might be able to find street parking in the surrounding areas. Dress code for guests is the usual for the Playhouse, clean upscale club wear.

Painting for the rest of today and tomorrow, we’ve been working on our latest painting since Monday. It will be on display at two shows this coming week! The first show is this Thursday night at the Hollywood Playhouse, further details are contained in the the following post. The second show is the next night, Friday, at Club 1616 in LA. It’s a burlesque night with performers and everything, below are links to those events. Hope to see you sometime this week!

Hello friends! We will be showing a large collection of our work the coming Thursday night, Cinco de Mayo, at the awesome location you see above, the Playhouse in Hollywood. We will have around 12 pieces on display, our largest exhibition to date. This is a huge event with a diverse group of artists, everything from painters, makeup people, fashion and live musical performances. There is currently a PRE-SALE for $10 tickets at the following links, make sure our name is in the first drop down menu before making your reservation to get on our guest list. Act fast before tickets become unavailable because we’d love to see you there to catch up over drinks and art. Thank you for the support Oh, and the dress code is enforced, cocktail attire (dress shirt, slacks, khakis, etc, at least, for guys)
So we finally got our design all figured out, at least the linework, so it’s time to get to work on the actual painting. We still have to finalize the color palette, but that will have to wait til tomorrow since today is our day off, although I did manage to have Mia give me two hours today to get this initial inking pass done. This is our final work in progress image, the finished 24″ x 30″ painting will be on display May 5th and 6th at two separate art events, details coming tomorrow on both events, as well as invites.
It’s been a while, waiting on some info before we get back to posting more regularly. We’re busy working on a new painting at the moment for two upcoming early May shows, here’s just a glimpse of linework for what will soon be a full body pose, 24″ by 30″ painting.
Our latest original painting, part of our Motivational Street Sign series, it’s the fifth in that series. We decided to document our process since it’s a bit unique in one major aspect. dfrnt is composed of two married artists collaborating on art under a single name, that’s not evident when staring at a finished piece so we thought this might help clear it up. We can go into much more here as to the whys and hows, but just enjoy the video for now. The music is off a great album, “Mexican Sessions Our Simple Sensational Sound” by Up, Bustle & Out. We highly recommend a purchase, you won’t regret it
We’ll eventually have all our latest work on a new website, so stay tuned.
