OVERVIEW:

The 1st Annual Los Angeles Holiday ArtBash will take place Wednesday, December 10th, 8 PM-2 AM, at the A+D Museum, located at 5900 Wilshire Blvd @ Spaulding, Los Angeles, CA 90036 (across the street from the main entrance of LACMA).

The ArtsBash is both a party and a festival that shines the spotlight on the cultural fringe offerings of our fair city. We will have a live band, a dancing area, a full bar, Holiday-based design elements as well as work from many Los Angeles individual artists and arts organizations from a variety of performing arts disciplines.

I have no art training, but I wanted a Tarot deck so I drew my own --pencil, colored pencils on index cards, scanned and photoshop smartblurred. I like some of these, others make me say 'yuck' or something similar.

Then last year I began re-'Shopping them, so some look far from the originals now. For these wands I used the 'cutout' filter.
