Hi friends!! I have some exciting news: my website now has its own domain AND digital storefront! I’m getting everything set up and doing a slight redesign. I’m hoping to have the store up and running by August – please reach out if you’d like to buy anything in the meantime! Some pages will be under construction over the next few weeks, so if you don’t see something or if you have any questions don’t hesitate to reach out. Join the email list if you haven’t already so you can get notified as things move forward. Thank you all for your support!

The old site handle – floralbees.wordpress.com – will redirect anyone to the new domain – floralbumblebee.com!

I’ve been accepted to my first official art show! Stop by Firehouse Art Center on Saturday, May 4 from 7pm-10pm for a night of debauchery. When you arrive, there will be a $5 cover charge – every guest will receive a sticker that they will then use to vote on their favorite piece. Performer DeEtta Jain will be taking the stage at 8pm. Many of the artists themselves will be present to answer questions and sell their work – me included!

Please note that this event is 18+ and will be featuring art from the risqué to the very vulgar. Any additional details can be found on the Facebook event page.

I’ve been invited to face paint at this month’s coven rave! Join me at DV8 Distillery on Tuesday, April 30th from 9pm-12am for drinks, music, and some spooky goth fun! Dress up or come as you are – if you feel underdressed, I’ll be there to help you look the part of a vampire in space. Thank you so much to my friend, Dorian Gray, for inviting me; I’m thrilled to try some of your mixed drinks!

More information can be found on DV8’s website or the Facebook event page. See you there!

I’ve been invited to be a last minute vendor at Day 1 of Le Cirque Risqué!! I was so excited to hear about this event, and I’m so excited to get to sell art there! I have some extra special kinky, vintage, and circus-y pieces coming just for this.

Le Cirque Risqué is a 2 day event full of vintage circus charm! There will be performances by the wonderful people at Circa Vida Entertainment, as well as food, drinks, vendors, and SWING DANCING!!! Vendors and food may vary by day, so choose your tickets carefully. I will be vending during day 1, Thursday 2/1. Doors open at 7 pm and the fun will go late into the night.

This is a Reelworks event. It is 18+ so plan accordingly. Buy your tickets and find more information about Le Cirque Risqué here.

This New Year’s post is a bit late but for good reason – I’ve been so busy with my art itself that my social media and website have taken a back burner. I have tons of updates – projects, events, and some new ideas in the works!

In February, I’ll be vending at a Valentine’s Ball. I’m also looking for face painting opportunities! If you want an artist at your event, check out my rates here and send me a message with any questions.

As for projects, I’ll have 3 finished Palestine pieces done by the end of this month. If you want a refresher on how my charity projects work, or want to learn more about the genocide in Palestine right now, take a look through the marked pages on my site.

I’m hoping to get as many NSFW pieces done by 2/10 as possible. If you have any kinks you’d like to see featured, please let me know! I’m always looking to include as much diversity as possible. The mission behind my adult artwork is not just to be sexy, but to provide something where people can see themselves – their bodies, their features, their beauty – portrayed with purpose and care.

In 2024, I want to try some new things. I’m hoping to branch more into jewelry – earrings, necklaces, and keychains. I want to try my hand at illustrating cannabis buds, too. There’s so many unique strains with beautiful flowers and I think that would tie in well with my career. Keep an eye out! If I make some pieces I’m proud of, maybe I can get a spot selling them at local dispensaries. Maybe this year I’ll circle back around to some handpainted shirts…who knows what 2024 holds?

I’ve been invited to vend at a kinky erotic Valentine’s ball! I’ll be selling lots of art, including a whole new launch full of leather, vinyl, bondage, and more. I like to have some stock that is event-exclusive, so definitely stop by if you can.

Erotisch will be held at Bierstadt Lagerhaus – 2875 Blake St. Denver, CO – on Saturday, February 10th from 2-6pm. There will be amazing performances by Circa Vida Entertainment, food, beer, and some spectacular vendors. Best of all, this event is completely free!

Be aware that this event is 21+ and there will be kink, so plan accordingly. Tip: bring cash to tip your performers!!

Hello all! Now that NoCo Exchange is done, I’m focusing on what I want to do and what I need for the rest of this year. Time is absolutely flying by and I need more hours in the day.

December is a big month – it’s my mom’s birthday, Chanukah, Christmas, and I have family coming to visit this year!! Very exciting, but I am quite broke. I had an unfortunate line up this period between the pay period and hours worked, which resulted in about 20 less hours and 300 less dollars on my paycheck. If you can send any money my way so I can afford food, groceries, and transportation for the next two weeks, I would be extremely grateful.

The next month and a half, I’ll be working on some art to honor Palestine. Half the funds will be going to PRCS. I’ve made a dedicated page for it and done tons of research. I’m hoping to finish up my few remaining commissions before the end of the year too. Maybe somewhere in there I can fit in a few holiday pieces – I’ve been wanting to do Chanukah animals for a while now.

I’m not sure about winter events yet so stay tuned for details there. I may or may not be face painting with Santa at MECO Longmont again – I’m waiting to hear back. I am still having problems with Instagram and Facebook; this website is currently the best place for me to post information, photos, and links.

As always, if you have questions please reach out to me!

Hi everyone! So I’ve been having some issues with Instagram and Facebook for the past few weeks – they have only sometimes been letting me post captions, comments, and stories on my art accounts (@floralbumbleb, @floralbumblebnsfw). I’m not sure if it’s the links or if I’m setting off bot sensors for some reason or what. I submitted a complaint today; hopefully they’ll get back to me soon. That being said, if you want to know more details about anything I do post, or if you have any questions, don’t hesitate to reach out to me. Not even Mark Zuckerberg can hold me back from being a professional artist!! >:)

WordPress is always very reliable and consistent, plus I just integrated a calendar for all my art events, so anything you see here will be the closest to up-to-date my inventory/posts/projects/etc will be.

**EDIT: Thank you to everyone who helped me raise the money to pay my vendor fee! I wouldn’t be able to do events like this if it weren’t for you lovely people. I’ll be in touch about commissions.**

I’ve been invited to vend at another event!! I’ll have a table at NoCo Exchange on November 17, 2023. The event is 7pm-2am at the lovely Dickens Opera House. In order to participate in this event, I will have to pay a vendor fee of $80. I will personally be covering all other fees associated with the show for both myself and my partner/ assistant. As always, anyone who donates anything at all will receive a free personal commission. To donate, please visit my GoFundMe.

NoCo Exchange is an event put on by SHARE and Sobremesa Creatives as a way to connect the polyamory/ non-monogamy community in Northern Colorado. I’m so beyond honored and excited to have been chosen as a vendor for this event because the community means a lot to me. The opportunity to not only experience this but to show off my work within it is something I never thought I’d achieve when I was younger. Please attend if you can; there’s still time to buy tickets!
