LA CARMINA PORTRAIT IN LOS ANGELES GOTH ART EXHIBIT: DARK PAINTINGS BY DIENZO.
La Carmina will be in Los Angeles later this month… in the form of a Victorian-esque portrait! The immensely talented Dienzo painted a vampiric version of yours truly (I’m flattered!). Starting May 16th, this work and more will be on the walls of Hyaena Gallery.
I can’t show you an image of my portrait quite yet, but let me assure you: it’s bloody fantastic. Award-winning designer Dienzo is a whiz at “dark little characters that are meant to intrigue, entice and perhaps cause a bit of anxiety.” Spooky schoolchildren, Bettie Page, Pumpkinhead and other outcasts fill his inky vignettes. As a reviewer puts it, “They’re not the sort of kids your parents would want you to play with.”
Please come out to see me – or rather, my vampiric likeness – at Dienzo’s haunting art exhibition! It opens May 16th and runs until the 23rd at Hyaena, a Burbank gallery known for its odd and eclectic collections. Los Angelinos, please spread the word (you can click the Envelope symbol below-left to email this post to friends).

geez carmina, cause everything is about you and there is not even a possibilty that i’d want to look at his other work ROFL!! jk jk

I’ll have friends at the opening, and Dienzo is super nice – you won’t feel scared at all!

Oh, nice.
That first painting, the one in the top row on the far left? It reminds me SO much of a certain BJD sculpt. Delf Yder…actually intended to be a male bjd! I love androgyny. :)

aww its a shame you can't attend to see peoples reactions to the one done in your likeness. but I'm sure its fab! I like the one in the upper left. how does it feel to be immortalized?
Hopefully I can get my hands on the painting afterwards!

Dienzo has a press release out! He writes –
“Also unique to this show is his collaboration with Gothic Lolita maven, La Carmina. “Her insightful and diligent reporting of trends adds relevance to the genre and I was truly inspired by her sense of style,” states Dienzo. He not only incorporated fashions created by the designer into some of his works, but painted one of Carmina herself.”
