Tiki Oasis 14 recap – meet Miss Tiki Oasis – 2015 event dates and media coverage!


2014-fb-cover


Tiki Oasis attendees and participants might tell you that they feel like the event, which happened in mid-August, ended only days ago. Others will tell you about their PTOD (post Tiki Oasis depression), a post-event emptiness which leaves them yearning for more. Either way, you can see that Tiki Oasis leaves a lasting impression on everyone involved! In the meantime, meet Miss Tiki Oasis 14, check out some press links and calendar the dates for Tiki Oasis 15!

8/1: Katherine Brannock at La Luz de Jesus


 

San Diego Tattoo Artist Katherine Brannock
Debut Art Show at  La Luz de Jesus Gallery

August 1 – 31, 2014
Artist reception:
Friday, August 1st; 8-11 PM
as part of the The Laluzapalooza Jury Winners
La Luz de Jesus Gallery
4633 Hollywood Blvd,
Los Angeles, CA 90027
On August 1, new works San Diego area artist/ tattooist Katherine Brannock will be featured as part of a group of five winners of La Luz de Jesus Gallery’s 2014 Laluzapalooza juried group show plus José Rodolfo Loaiza Ontiveros’ “Profanity Pop. “Over the past few years, Katherine Brannock has been making quite a name for herself in San Diego. At Comicon, she captured the attention of French publisher,
Xupuy, who released a hardcover collection of her sketchbook work last year. She’s since apprenticed as a tattooist and created a labyrinthine body of work that utilizes the colors and totems of that profession in a way that only Katherine could.While huge fans of both bodies of work, the sketches really won the crew at La Luz de Jesus over and they offered her the opportunity to expand upon the themes present in her book (which she’ll be signing at the opening reception).

Read an interview with Katherine Brannock by Lisa Derrick in March of 2014 while the Laluzapalooza show was up.
