Well, we’ve arrived. Again. It’s my third trip to Los Angeles this year, and so far things are going swimmingly. In preparation for the long, busy week ahead, my assistant and I took a trip up to the Hollywood sign. I’ve always wanted to hike up there, touch the sign, photograph the sign, get close [...]
Every artist has their favorite tools, and it takes years to find them. Whether it’s the perfect paint brush, the perfect piece of charcoal, the perfect chisel or guitar strings or armchair to write in. As an artist- when you find these items, you hang on to them. They become part of you, and part [...]
Have you heard of the Flat Brutus Project? Not only is it amazingly creative an unique, it’s also raising important funding for the FBRN (French Bulldog Rescue). Being a lover of all things smushy-faced and creative, I signed up to host Flat Brutus a few months ago, and can’t wait for him to arrive in [...]
Tonight I have a presentation for Cielo (the beautiful and quirky Italian Greyhound), and her mom Kimberlee. The three of us met a few months ago at Hollywoof, where I almost fell off my chair laughing when I heard this skinny, spunky, warm, soft little doggie was named ‘Cielo.’ In college, a good friend of [...]
Amidst all the Doggie Gaga media attention, international interviews, requests for television appearances, and general all-around amazingness, I have been holding out for the perfect place to hold the very first public exhibit of the images. After long consideration, I’ve decided to showcase the work at one of my favorite San Francisco dog boutiques- Best [...]
The moment that everyone has been waiting for is finally here! I want to thank my amazing team for all their efforts and creativity in making this a reality. Also, a special thank you goes out to all the Doggie Gaga models – to everyone’s surprise, they didn’t mind the costumes (behold the power of [...]
So, my dog has his own vlog (that’s ‘video log’, in case my internet-savvy lingo was a little over your head). He makes me follow him around and take videos (he can’t press the buttons because he doesn’t have opposable thumbs. likely excuse.), and then he makes me upload them and edit them as he [...]
Los Angeles, you overwhelm me. You are overstimulating and beautiful at the same time, a tiny vacation from the blander Bay Area. Your dog stores are amazing, your hills are amazing, your old signs and art-deco buildings are amazing, and your peeling paint and quirky stores, too. Unfortunately, I’ve been so busy photographing some incredible [...]
When I left my small town on the rural East Coast and headed to sunny California, I knew I was in for adventure. I saved up some money from painting houses for a year, and planned a 2 week cross-country road trip along the famous Rt.66. What, do you ask, did I bring with me [...]
A big HELLO to the world of dogs and their humans! I’m Diana [aka DC]. Recently, I was blessed with an amazing opportunity to intern as an assistant and project organizer for Jesse. It has been both a ton of fun and hard work (but completely worth it!) as I get to learn from one [...]
