Cykochik's Artist Series 4 Collection: Chiks Rock!

I'm thrilled to collaborate with Cykochik hand bags for a second collection! 

I'm joining two other talented ladies, Michelle White and Patricia Rodriguez, for Cykochik's first ever all-female collection! 

My "Botanica" set consists of a tote, clutch, and wristlet in my monochromatic floral design, and each bag is not only handmade from recycled plastics and vegan leather, but will be truly one-of-a-kind since each bag will be slightly different depending on where the fabric is cut. As with all Cykochik bags, the vegan leather portion of the bags are color customizable!

You can color customize and purchase the collection online, or if you're in the Dallas area, please join us for Cykochik's Artist Series 4 Official Launch Party at AtAMA's new space in Mockingbird Station on Saturday, April 18th! You can snag one of the newest bags, and enjoy delicious refreshments from Zico Coconut Water and vegan treats from Reverie Bakery. I'll be hanging out and signing bags from 7:30-10PM. See you there!

Night Flora is coming soon!

I couldn't be more thrilled that one of my favorite local shops, ATAMA, will be hosting my first ever solo show Night Flora.

About the show:

Inspired by the natural and physiological world around her, Jody Pham's fascination with the intricacies of seemingly everyday things began at a very young age. Her distinctively monochromatic illustrations are filled with contradicting clean lines, tangled flora, and inky disarray that invite the viewer to take a closer look. She finds the transformative, resilient disposition of nature beautiful and endlessly inspiring. Jody's compositions often reflect her bicultural identity, and the experience of navigating dual worlds.

The Details:

Night Flora || The Illustrations Of Jody Pham

Saturday, July 26th || 7PM to 9PM

ATAMA || 5307 E. Mockingbird Ln. Suite #107 (Mockingbird Station) Dallas, TX

Hope to see you there!

P.S. I'll be posting an official invite on my Facebook page soon!

Bad Diary Days at ATAMA.

Last month I had the pleasure of being part of ATAMA's first ever group show! I was in great company with original works by Hatziel Flores, Loretta Gonzalez, Brent Ozaeta, Jeremy Biggers, Jason Chalker, Samanta Lattice Lowery, Nick Quintero, Ricardo Oviedo, Vanessa Velasquez, Emily DonJuan, Matt Brinker, Leisa Bailey, and several other local artists.

ATAMA is a fun shop in Mockingbird Station here in Dallas. They specialize in limited edition designer toys, fine art, prints, books and more. They are hosting my very first solo show later this month (more details TBA very soon!), and I couldn't be more thrilled to collaborate with Atama.

Pancakes & Booze Art Show.

I am excited to be a part of the Pancakes and Booze Art Show for the second time this year! My first experience with Tom Kirlin's trademark show was back in January at Quixotic World here in downtown Dallas. I really enjoyed the vibrant, laid-back crowd, and being in such fabulous company with so many enthusiastic creatives. The show also takes place just in time to pick up a unique, one-of-a-kind holiday gift!

More info/RSVP here. 

New work, and Summer shows!

Ah, Summer is in the air, which means I'm spending a lot more time indoors. This Texas heat is no joke! I've been drawing up a storm, and taking advantage of glorious air conditioning, and my new Audio Technica turntable. July will be a super busy whirlwind, so I'm trying to take advantage of some time off while I can. My next piece will be an interactive one on my Facebook fan page. I'll be posting more on that soon.

If you're in my neck of the woods, I have two shows next month: 

• July 13th-Urban Legends: Art-Hunger's One Year Anniversary Show, Deep Ellum, Dallas
  
• July 25th-RED BULL Curates: Canvas Cooler Project, Life in Deep Ellum, Dallas

This was such fun to draw. I never tire of drawing organs! Her gloves were modeled after a pair of vintage gloves that belonged to my grandmother.

I'll always be drawn to a monochromatic palette, but I'm really enjoying adding these tiny splashes of color lately. 

This beauty was drawn after a perfect day of brunch, bloody mary's, and conversations with a friend. I didn't realize it until later, but her neck piece kind of reminds me of the Crucify EP cover by Tori Amos.

This is a mini-version of a larger piece I plan to do on a wood panel.
