Artist Spotlight: LaDon

Lisette, or LaDon as we like to call her around the sty, hails from the City of Angels. We love her crass sarcasm and her occasional, but well-executed, puns. She’s a woman of words, art and fashion–no kidding. Lisette transfers art to clothes, clever use of language to her cards, and clothes into her art (and cards) too!

The writers of the PigSpigot blog caught up with her to learn more about how she comes up with her cards, art, fashion, etc. Here’s what she had to say:

What inspires your work?
The things that make me smile, make me cry, make me laugh and make me wonder why.

What’s your favorite kind of greeting card to receive?
Funny expected cards! The kind that you keep up 5 months after the occasion!

What’s your favorite kind of card to send?
Hmmmm Ummmm My cards for Pigspigot! lol

What is the last card you received / sent?
I last received a Christmas card that had little puppies in stockings made out of felt. I thought it was pretty fancy! I last sent my Pigspigot Doggy Porn card to my mom. She asked if I really make porns with my dog cupid who is in the picture. After laughing I realized wow she really does think im nuts! lol

Where do you do your best work?
Right at home in my art studio

What’s your favorite medium and why?
Well I like drawing with pencil and making it into a graphic but I have to much to learn as an artist and well who knows what my favorite will be some day. Life as an artist is all about evolving!

Where are you located?
La La Land, Downtown Los Angeles

Where can people find your art for purchase?
