Welcome back home

I just made the move back to Etsy. A place that feels like home: community, lots of helpful features for buyer and seller, fun place to spend time looking at goodies.

Big Cartel is nice and I have no regrets. You have to take big risks to try things out. Even if it doesn't work out you'll finally know and have learned something!



The pin party has finally been released this weekend! The very first wishcandy wearables and the start of a secret society with a lot of f*ckin' moxie! Go get em' ;)

Man Eater

It's been a wild ride these past few months. Mental health break, falling ill, working like mad for shows, and came out on the other side a fierce champion! Created this babe for Bear & Bird's Girls vs. Boys show.

You can check out the paintings for sale here! I'll slowly be posting them here over the next week. Getting back to a schedule. Bringin' it hard for you ladies n' gents <3

(Never want to miss a new piece of art, print, or fabulous goodie? Like Wishcandy on facebook!)

Bring me home

Sneek peek of my new work for the Banana Split Ladies show at Leanna Lin’s Wonderland in Los Angeles! So if you’re in SoCal bring your sweet buns to the opening on March 9th! There will be a DJ, sweets, and i’ll be there for a couple hours. ;)

Booksmeller Sunday - The Unbearable Lightness of Being

Next month i'll be sniffing Anais Nin's Cities of the Interior OR Asterios Polyp (a graphic novel).

Glad to be booksmelling again! What's the last book you smelled? ;)

Gimme all your love

Despite all the harshness in our world, we need to be open to change. New people, places, images, music sentiment. Step out today ready to accept the good in life. It's okay to smile in the face of adversity. Take a little you time.

This is a little sneak peek of some of the new work i'll be showing at Bear & Bird gallery next month for the Girls vs Boys show! Super excited to be showing alongside such talent. Be sure to check out opening night (March 8th) if you live near Lauderhill, FL ;)

I'm baaack!

Guess what? I’m baaaack! You know what that means? Food, girls, color, and a whole lotta moxie!

Shop is open, starting you off light with Mystery Print Packs, a few paintings, and limited edition prints. So go, go, go! I’ll also be releasing new prints and announcing secret goodies/ projects later this month!

Thank you for your continuous support. You’re amazing! xo

Did i mention orders over $30 (before shipping) get a free surprise mini print? ;) 

Post its show at Giant Robot 2!

 

This year I got invited to Giant Robot's Post-its show! There's quite a few post-its of mine there. I'm so fucking thankful to be working with GR. They put on such amazing shows and i'll be showing along artists i admire. Coming full circle!

As some of you know i originally wanted to be a fashion designer (long story how i wound up here). Artists like Audrey Kawasaki and Stella Im Hultberg made me decide that if I went into art I could make it. Seven years later! BAM!

The show opening is tonight and will be open until the 16th! But don't wait too long because all the good ones will be taken first. There is a line queueing outside Giant Robot as I type!

For those of you wondering, yes I'm still on break. It's been a wonderful month of contemplation and I'll still be taking more time. But I'll be back around January with a vengeance! xo

Edit: Just found out that Gary Baseman is in the show! *o*

This isn't goodbye, i promise

Important announcement!

It's been a wonderful year. I couldn't be any more thankful for your support and kind words! However, i'll be closing my shop down (and going on blogging hiatus) for a while. One month, two, three? I'm not sure.

I haven't made this decision lightly. I've been mulling it over for a long time. I need a break from technology, more time to get out there to live, and space to experiment. I'm pretty damn close to burning out and instead of continuing to go i will heal.

SO, there will be one last sale. Grab what you want now because i won't be back for a while! I'll also be discontinuing most, if not all, of the current prints. If you can't afford to, please spread the word. Every little bit of help is appreciated.
 
(Enter: GETWELLSOON for 20% off everything. includes originals! Sale ends on 11/13, shop closes 11/15. Thank you. ♥)

xo,
wishcandy

P.S.- When i come back i'll be better, fresher, and with more moxie! See you then my lovelies
