BSDA on Brown Paper Bag: Monica Ramos

swimmers_angled_1.1

For the last guest post, I have Kate Sin­gle­ton of Buy Some Damn Art (BSDA) and Art Hound here to share a bit about Mon­i­ca Ramos, an artist whose show recent­ly opened on Buy Some Damn Art. Every week, the BSDA launch­es a new show of orig­i­nal art by an up-and-com­ing artist. Each online show runs for six weeks. Be sure to check out the web­site and sign up for the mail­ing list. It’s the best way to stay cur­rent about all the great work that Kate features.

Take it away, Kate!

I just can’t get enough of Brook­lyn illus­tra­tor Mon­i­ca Ramos’ cheeky humor! From fry­ing eggs on the side­walk to lick­ing up melt­ed ice cream, Mon­i­ca’s work is deli­cious­ly play­ful. My favorite piece in the series is “Warm Water” because that blue is such a pret­ty shade and because Mon­i­ca is espe­cial­ly tal­ent­ed when it comes to cre­at­ing pat­terns out of peo­ple and things. For the same rea­sons I think Mon­i­ca’s “I hate self­ies” is kind of brilliant.
