I am a busy lil bee but I love it that way , I like to stay on my pretty lil toes .

Music really Matters


To me anyway ... 

MUSIC 

CreativeFlow 

Artistic Bliss 

ah ha , yeah this is what , who  I am .... aside from it putting a smile on my face and make me wanna dance around like I am in my own personal club ... I have to say I don't go a day without listening to Pandora , the million and 1 songs in my iTunes or watching some killr videos on youtube . 

INSPIRATION 

envelopes me , I get lost in translation , deep into a crazy beat .

As an artist I guess you can say I find beauty in everything and everything to me is like a brilliantly lit up rainbow. I feel better , work more efficiently when I am bopping away to lets say Faithless ( you all are probably familiar with them from back in the 90's , their dance hit , " INSOMNIA " 


Fast Forward to 2:48 --- TIMELESS 

See putting my sharpies and paper to work to some killr sounds , artistic bliss and creative flow collide and tada .... Grafitti Couture comes to life ... I feel like Dr.Frankenstein , ha ha ha ha ( in a demonic voice ) -- No but seriously if you haven't heard of them , you might like them if you like dance , house & electronic trance . I love words and their lyrical flow is pretty crazy . 

Friday NIGHT Creative Flow 

Woohoo

Friday night creative flow did not occur , even the best of us get tired , as much as I love my art , my kids and family come first , so that took president over letting my creative flow juices just flow . But , today is a new day my friends and time is of the essence ! Want to leave 2012 with a bang
and welcome 2013 with open arms .... Let the CREATIVE FLOW begin .... I am truly excited about the new year , this year I plan on making it my year . I am ready , ready to take on the world and all it's many splendors I am ready to bring to life Grafitti Couture in oh so many ways . My mind is filled with inspiration and so many have inspired me.
The world is my oyster ---> always wanted to say that , lol .

For anyone who is reading this , take a moment and think to yourself , are you really satisfied with your life right now , if your answer is no , then think to yourself what would make you that much happier and no I am not talking about oh , if I had a million dollars , I am talking about , do you have a dream , have you let a hobby or something you are passionate about go ? Never fear I am here , I say go for it , don't let FEAR boggle your mind , B Fearless ... Take action , find yourself again and never look back . Bring to life all you ever dreamed of bc it is possible , everything is possible , with hard work , determination and love for what you do , you will go far !

2 years ago I began my journey as an artist once again and now I can tell you I am complete , it's a part of who I am , it always has been , it was dormant for a while but now it has been awakened with a fearless passion , let the creative river run .... Wild !

Many blessings to all of you and think about what I said ...

PS -Don't B Afraid :)

You never know lightning could strike !

EPIC
definition : heroic or grand in scale or character

Oh , how I love this term , so I decided to make own version of it . Let's think about it though , who wouldn't want to create something epic. I know I do , I know I want to create many things that are Epic and in the time I live I plan on creating them . 2012 is just days away in being a memory of days passed , so much amazingness happened this year and yet 2013 has yet more amazingness to bring. In these last days of the year I want to end it with a big ka bang , so as I finish illustrating and put an end to the year , I begin to dream up my new collections in Grafitti Couture & GC Designs. 



I cannot wait to share with all of you my Life in Living Colour .

Thank you for your love & support.

Chase your DREAMS ,

Let's Get Crazy ......










with the Crazy Bitch Society  that is ! 

Who are they ? 

The Crazy Bitch Society is made up of Catrina "HellCat " Fels , Laura "Lur" Parsons and Amanda LaBella also known as the Presi-Bitches of the Society and 55,000 + of their members .

I stumbled upon this amazing site after a girlfriend of mine kept telling me about them , check out their page , I am sure you will fit on their " Shoe Porn Sunday " , immediately I was wondering what the hell is she talking about , did I hear her correctly , SHOE PORN SUNDAY ? Ok , so I clicked on the link and was instantly smitten with their page , the meaning who they are and what they stand for. 

Unlike other women's empowerment sites , they give a new meaning to it , more like a movement , don't let the "Bitch" word fool you , they don't mean it in the sense of how women are stereo-typed to be a "Bitch" . Their definition of being a BITCH is this : 

And I QUOTE : 



This is a society with female members. A member lives by the following rules. She is free thinking, true to herself, self-assured, self-preserving, passionate, independent, confident and successful. She works hard for what she gains and knows what she wants in her life. She stands up for herself and those she loves. She faces life’s challenges with a smile and will speak her mind even if it’s a disagreement with the majority. She is self-achieving and often sacrifices in order to give to others. Do not be fooled though, she will not tolerate foolishness and is not easily intimidated. She knows how to have fun but can kick ass when needed. She is clever and knows to keep her friends close but her enemies closer. She can easily bring the best out in anyone and her excitement for living life is contagious. A Crazy Bitch can laugh at herself and loves to motivate others to see the best in all situations. Most Crazy Bitch Society members have learned to OWN IT because there is a little bit of Crazy Bitch in all of us ladies.
She is proud to be a member of the Crazy Bitch Society!



Soooooo , fast forward 6 months later ,  visiting their page , sheer inspiration just slapped me right across the face. I decided to contact them and ask them if they wouldn't mind if I created them a KillR Heel GC style with their CBS flavor and so I did and below is what I created for them in the month of October for Breast Cancer Awareness Month. 

I have to say that for me drawing , illustrating is like second nature to me . I live and breathe it . Day in and day out I am doing something in my Creative Field , I actually cannot go a day without it , I admit it I am addicted . As I delved into their world I began to realize how much more meaning it had to me , I mean I enjoyed reading their posts and seeing how all the women interacted with each other , almost like a extremely enormous sorority of sisters. Never have I encountered so much positive energy and love in a group of women and here I was just absorbing it and literally inhaling their vibe in order to create what would become on of their shoes. 

After I came up with my concept , laid down the sketch and brought it to life in color , I felt complete , like one of their newest and proudest members of the Crazy Bitch Society. 



GC for CBS PiinkiLove Killr Heel for Breast Cancer Awareness 


See , I am a CRAZY Bitch and I "OWN it " ! 

In My Words ....

Elizabeth of Grafitti Couture is a hardworking , dedicated wife to my hunky husband , mama of 4 rambunctious beautiful children , a badass Grafitti Coutur-ist ( Artist ) who is a non stop force in my Mode of Creative Flow . I stop at nothing to realize my dreams , chasing them relentlessly and achieving success every step of the way . I live everyday as if it were my last , I appreciate everyone and everything in my life , grateful for all my blessings . I am hot tempered ( but only when provoked & I am Colombian - that explains a lot ) LOL , I enjoy life's simplest pleasures like a hot or cold cup of cawfee ( coffee ) , a computer geek , bookworm , on the constant quest of higher learning .... I could go on and on but I think as you get to know me you'll see what I mean.  

In short I am not a quitter , I fight for everything that means something to me , a huge supporter in chasing dreams and being everyone's cheerleader , bc in the end , I'd like to leave this earth knowing I helped people through my Art or my Words. 

Those are the things that are important to me ! 


DRUM ROLL Puh Puh Please ...




GC for CBS Bitchin' Kitten  Killr Heel



Now this heel was more CBS , this KillR Heel embodies the essence of what the Society is to me in my mind .

The symbols in the heel are of :

Wings : demonstrating , We all need to spread our wings and fly.
Hearts : Love can move mountains , Love can conquer all and my favorite :Do Everything with <3 !
Stars : Reach for the Stars .
Diamond Ring : Think Big , Be BIG ! Empowerment .
Roses : All the Beauty that lies within our souls.
Eyes : They are the windows to the soul .

Such an Ahmazing group of Women. 

I highly suggest you pay them a visit , if you aren't already a member .... Hurry , join them ! 
Oh and yeah , it's Ladies Only
