First, I want to thank Leanna Lin Fong for giving me the opportunity to curate another show at Wonderland! And I want to thank all of the artists who participated in the show. All of your collaborations look fantastic! Special thanks to the artists who came out for the evening. This group photo was taken towards the end of the evening, so we missed Irene Stone.

I also want to thank our event sponsors Miss Priss Cupcakes & Such, Masacasa, and Jarritos. Much love to DJ Laminlove who kept the party going all night. And for playing Daft Punk!

I love my friends!

I love this family!

Thanks to my friend Grace and her family for always being so supportive. As you can see, they’re all sporting their Supahcute buttons proudly. Leslie, your Short-Footed False Wallabin from The Corner Museum of Dubious Beasts will be heading to its new loving home after the exhibition closes.

Grace’s daughter Mia loved the Dubious Beasts show so much that she sent me a thank you card with this drawing. Isn’t it the best thing ever?!

With my biggest supporter

Thanks Shing for taking this photo of us!

Thanks to Rodger for taking photos throughout the evening and for being so supportive, in general. I don’t know why but I was super nervous right before the opening. Fortunately, Rodger was there to keep me calm and to remind me to just have a good time.

Rodger’s family happened to be in town for Mother’s Day weekend, and we were so happy that they could join us for opening night. His mom and oldest sister were visiting from Sacramento, and one of his sisters flew in from Colorado. Also represented in this shot are Chino Hills and Burbank! One of Susie and Irene’s tiny bog turtles will be flying to Sacramento to be with its new owner.

Last but definitely not least, I want to thank everyone who came out for the opening reception of Supah Mashup Art Party! I hope you had as much fun as we all did. If you took pictures of the show, please tag me on Twitter or Instagram. Or you can post them to my Facebook page.

Here’s Susie Ghahremani signing a copy of ‘What Will Hatch?’ for an adorable fan. Susie’s first Los Angeles book signing took place during the opening reception of Supah Mashup Art Party at Leanna Lin’s Wonderland. I think Leanna Lin’s may still have some signed copies of the book left. You can also order directly from Susie, or ask your independent bookseller to carry copies of the book.

contrails

For Supah Mashup Art Party, Susie worked on two separate collaborations. This piece titled “Contrails” was created by Susie and Jared Andrew Schorr and is still available.

susie and irene

Her collaborative works with Irene Stone are also available at Leanna Lin’s Wonderland through July 14, 2013. Woolly Mammoth and Tiny Bog Turtle #2 are already spoken for, and Tiny Bog Turtle #2 is on hold. These would make great gifts for cross stitch fans! All of the pieces from the Supah Mashup exhibition can be seen here.

P.S. LA friends, Susie’s band – Bulletins – are playing their first LA show at Silverlake Lounge this Thursday, May 16. Hope to see you there!

susie and jared

We are just a few days away from the opening of Supah Mashup Art Party, and here’s another sneak preview! This cut paper and gouache collaboration is by Susie Ghahremani and Jared Andrew Schorr. It was a spur-of-the-moment collaboration that all started with a tweet from Susie to Jared!

Here’s the “before” photo of the cut paper background Jared created. I’m thrilled to have both artists participating in this show. You’ll also see the cross-stitch collaboration between Susie and Irene Stone that inspired Supah Mashup Art Party and the amazing Studio Ghibli tribute by Jared and Jerrod Maruyama.

Don’t forget that Susie will be signing copies of her picture book ‘What Will Hatch?’ at the opening reception. Buy a copy at Leanna Lin’s Wonderland during the event, and get a free poster! For details on the opening reception, visit Leanna’s blog.

forest beast

This forest beast by Leslie Levings and Shing Yin Khor is too spectacular for words. In addition to preparing for The Corner Museum of Dubious Beasts, Leslie and Shing collaborated on this sleepy forest beast and fatty friends for Supah Mashup Art Party.

Leslie sculpted the big guy with its antlers and also painted the antlers. Shing added the fattybugs and mushrooms and provided the overall paint job. I love how this piece combines both of their styles so seamlessly.

Supah Mashup Art Party: catmandru! & Loretta So

catmandru & loretta so

This unfinished piece is your first look at one of two collaborative works by catmandru! and Loretta So. Loretta started drawing at young age and is heavily influenced by manga and anime as well as the Final Fantasy series. After college where she studied fashion design, she started commissioning and freelancing as a fashion sketch artist. catmandru! is a self-taught artist in the Bay area who draws inspiration from his two bengal cats, Satine and Aspen. You can find his latest doodles on his Facebook page.

catmandru! describes how their collaboration came to be: I met Loretta a few years ago through work. It was only by chance that I saw some of her artwork through her Facebook page that I realized she had an artistic background. I had actually reached out to her a year ago regarding a collaboration but conflicting schedules and events made it difficult. Earlier this year, Supahcute finally gave us the platform to make this collaboration into fruition.

You’ll have to wait until opening night to see their finished pieces! The preview list will be sent to subscribers on May 10, so sign up for the Art Gallery Preview List today.
