The Art of Friendship

I am so blessed to have a wonderful friend who is an artist. James Richardson is the creator of Booby Traps the wearable art creations featured on my web site http://www.lillibluesvintagerescues.mybisi.com/ .



James is a New Yorker living and creating art in Los Angeles. His studio is on Abbott Kinney the Grenich Village of the West Coast. He is a modern artist with so much style and the king of whimsy.

This week I am featuring his art work for my show and tell. Just want you all to get to see the wonderful things he creates.

James is a good friend. He keeps me laughing and thinking in a positive way. His work is fun! He uses bright colors and is a master with a hot glue gun! LOL





Theses paintings are part of the art show he is doing this week to benefit MS research.
James has supported me through some of the toughest times in my life. He is always up for an adventure like going down to the flower mart at the crack of dawn or gluing a million rhinestones to something just to make it sparkle. I hope you enjoy my little art show and stop by my web site and check out the Booby Traps.


To see James in person visit his studio @1212 Abbott Kinney Venice, California September 12, 2008 from 7 to 10 PM and meet Connie the New York socialite and director of The Charm School for the Uncharming. Don't be alarmed get some CHARM! Below you see her modeling a Booby Trap. She is a very fashion forward girl with a flair for putting charm where it isn't!
Have a great week! blessings,Lilli
