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.

I had the chance to preview all of the Supah Mashup pieces today at Leanna Lin’s Wonderland, and I can’t even begin to describe how happy I am. I really think you will love this exhibition as much as I do. If you haven’t signed up for the preview list yet, sign up today!

While I was there, I was able to preview The Corner Museum of Dubious Beasts featuring Leslie Levings and Shing Yin Khor. The level of talent in that art corner seriously blew my mind!! I guarantee your jaw will drop when you see all of their curious critters.

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.

The preview list will be sent to subscribers on May 10, so sign up today. (Be sure to check the “special sneak peek” box before subscribing.)
