This month has been amazing for me in the Studio. I was first featured in Brickell Magazine as an emerging artist to watch in Miami. Now, <a href="http://tagupload.com/digital/KBM/12_15/files/1.html">Key Biscayne Magazine</a> features the CSD Studio as well!<br />
<br />
It's not too late to order your special someone a piece to stick under the tree!<br />

For over a decade the first week of December in Miami means art, parties and more art for those of us who live for the cultural offerings our vibrant city has to offer. This year, my friends at Brickell Magazine did a piece on up and coming Miami artists and featured me as one of them!<br />
<br />
So if you are in Miami pick up a free copy or just visit, http://tagupload.com/digital/BM/12_15/files/1.html to view the magazine online. I'm on page 96.<br />
<br />
<div style="text-align: center;">
Happy Art + Culture Week!</div>

For almost 3 years, I called NYC my PT home. I would fly up once a month for about 4 days, go to grad school and enjoy the city. I love the city. Lucky for me, I get to back to the city in a few weeks for work and soak it all in again. In honor of that trip, here are two pages from my sketchbook. </div>

There are those girls who like pink, others that are more in favor of purple... you have girls that are into unicorns, others who prefer kitties. This pair of sisters like all of the above and glitter... so a combination thereof is what they got from me at The Studio. </div>

The thing is... I was not a cat girl... I was not a purple girl... I was a pink and teddy bears kind of kid myself. My daughter is a purple cat lady... and when she saw "Ava" she reminded me how much she would like one of her own. "We'll see, C" is what I told her.<br />

I spent the weekend drumming up family portraits. Here is the one I did of my little family. These are the perfect gift for grads going off to college, for grads moving into their first apartment... for that late Mother's Day gift you forgot to buy and for anyone already thinking about father's day! Email me for commissions.<br />

I've been busy painting a few nights a week. It picked up speed when I got my new watercolor brush pens. They are great to work with and make clean up a breeze. Here are some of my favorites thus far. I hope you enjoy my sketches. If you are on Facebook, be sure to like <a href="https://www.facebook.com/pages/CSD-Cecilia-Dubon-Slesnick-Art-and-Illustration/179648985434703">my page</a>.

I have to give credit to Urban Outfitters and Madewell for partnering up with classic sneaker companies like Brooks and Saucony. What's on your list this week? <br />

<span style="color: #674ea7; font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif; font-size: large;"><b>Happy New Year!</b> </span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
This year I really want to make sure I do a few things... </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
1. Try to be as healthy as my husband</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
2. Get my home organized...I'll be 37 this month. I want to stop feeling like I live in STY... </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
3. Get back to basics... i.e. draw everyday. So here you go... </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
These are my first two drawings/ paintings of the year. I had missed my sketchbook and watercolors. It felt so nice to give myself a few minutes. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
Juggling two kids, work, and everything else has been a challenge, but this is a great way to decompress and let it go (as my favorite 4 year old would say). So here's to 2015! I hope this year is the best one yet for all of us! </div>

This week I had to go pick up a pair of glasses that were being made for me. While at the shop, I noticed a case with vibrantly colored frames. I asked about them and was told they were the best, they weigh next to nothing and are flexible to no risk of them breaking (insert 5 month old who likes to tear my glasses off my face). The legs are interchangeable so you aren't stuck with the same pair ever...and at $200 they are an easy YES! MUST HAVE! <div>
<br /></div>
<div>
I've found it hard to locate them online for buying, but some boutique frame shops seem to carry them. Here in Miami you can find them at Lopez Optica on Coral Way and 22. You can learn more about them on<a href="http://www.igreeneyewear.com/"> the company website </a>though. </div>

I'm busy...but I need to always remind myself this is my outlet for ME. I need to give myself some me time...don't you all agree (for yourselves, of course). Life with a 5.5 month old and a 3.11 yr old is fast paced and when you add a layer of work and friends and volunteer commitments...it gets harder to find time for myself.<br />
<br />
However, the only time I really get to be by myself is in the car. After the kids have been dropped off and on my way to pick them up I am afforded about 30-40 minutes to myself...so I listen to music.<br />
<br />
Here's what I've been digging recently...<br />

On the subject of art, the video to Shake it Off is really funny. I'm glad to see what even though MTV no longer plays videos, the art of video music video making has not been lost. One of my favorite videos of all time is "Land of Confusion" by Genesis... remember it? With the puppets... watch it <a href="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1pkVLqSaahk">here</a>. I also am a fan of the<a href="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=CSaFgAwnRSc"> Bedtime Story video </a>by Madonna. The BEST music video ever...is not a video, it's a movie, The Beatles Hard Days Night! It's genius, moving from comedic performances to thoughtful and witty music performances.<br />
<br />
What are some of your favorites?<br />

Toms will give back (as they normally do) shoes for shoes and meals and blankets for apparel. The entire collection is also rumored to be under $50 a piece.<br />

Today I discovered new music. At first I could not believe what my ears were hearing and then there it was plain as white bread (that's a thing, right?) "Cecilia and the Satellite" by Andrew MaMahon. A really cool new tune with great album cover art... I want this on a shirt!<br />

Last weekend while finishing back-to-school shopping, I discovered the Boogie Board. It wasn't much, just a simple e-writer, so then I did more research. I found that the company also made on e-writer that syncs to your phone via Bluetooth... this meant I can email myself my notes, drawings. I can send them to friends or clients! This tool is revolutionizing things for me, and I have only been using it for less than 24 hours. If you are an active note taker or artist on the go--- this is a great product for you. The best part, it's only $80!<a href="http://www.amazon.com/Boogie-Board-9-7-Inch-eWriter-ST1020001/dp/B00E8CIGCA/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&qid=1408031043&sr=8-1&keywords=boogie+board+sync+9.7"> Boogie Board Sync 9.7 </a><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

While I was on maternity leave my husband bought his dream guitar, a Les Paul. For the past couple of months our home has been filled with the sweet and rich tone of his Les Paul. Most people don't know this, but I love to sing. It's a secret talent of mine...but every now and then I let loose and belt out a tune in public. Since the Les Paul came into our house, Mr. D has been asking me to sing with him more...I hesitate...but last night we put together a "set list" of songs that I would feel comfortable singing with him.<br />

It seems appropriate and haunting now at 10:45pm, because later in the evening we would all slowly start to learn of the death of the great Robin Williams. He, like Jeff Buckley left us in shock with the news of his death. Robin Williams who made so many of us laugh was hiding his own demons. Jeff Buckley's passing was not intentional, but a tragic accident...yet I still remember being shocked by the news when it occurred.<br />
<br />
So tonight I think about sweet and haunting melodies and the genius mind who made life sweet with laughter.<br />
