California Uber Ovalles

Today I want to share with you, artist, Mitsy Ávila Ovalles , who probably has one of the coolest myspace pages I've ever seen... and fantastic blog... It's all a very cool mixture of digital and hand-drawn work. She personalize it by sharing her love of baseball, and adding in her own quirky twists of character with sayings like "Dear friends, acquaintances and acquaintances twice removed"

How she does all of this, I have no clue, but looking into her little online world, I must say I'm developing a slight girlcrush on her. One of the reasons I love California so much is because of the mixtures of cultures, for one, the influence of Mexico (which is a big one). She does a fantastic job integrating awesomeness with Mexican imagery and Californian street culture in a highly personal and authentic way.

She writes in her blog:

Dear internet,
c/o myspace
I wish I knew how to quit you.

Mitsy

You're so right about her myspace page. It caused me to have a surge of inspiration leading to lots of Christina Ricci googling...

strange!

but even mroe strange is that she has a phobia of pot plants, theres a fact of the day for you.

but really intrigued by Mitsy Ávila Ovalles; I've bookmarked her page. Thanks for the tip, its right up my street!
