Her are some photos of the work that was displayed at the opening done by myself and Brett.

There was a very positive response to the art as well as the products of the store.  I also wanted to give a shout out to David Wilson, the amazing bartender we had at the event.  I would even go as far to say he added his own artistic touch to the entire event with his drinks.  I loved his Cucumber Cooler he had :)

And last but not least, Brett did a chalk piece on the wall of the store the same afternoon of the Grand Opening.   I personally thought it turned out amazing and loves his use of colors.  It fits perfect within the store and hope to see more of his work like this around San Diego in the future!

I had an amazing time.  My work will be on display for at least a couple months so if you are ever in the area, be sure to stop by and say “Hi” to Lisa or Paul and check out the art work in the store, as well as the awesome shoes and accessories too!

If you are going to be at Blizzcon this year, you might see someone walking around with this plushie!  Get your picture taken with it and send it to me and I will post it here :D

Visit them and bring some donations to help with their bunny rescue and get informed!
