My page: 
The book is beautiful, with so many amazing artists’ renditions of 2Pac and/or Biggie. My painting is on page 128. I wanted to let everyone know that prints of my Biggie painting are available currently on FineArtAmerica.com. Here’s the link: http://fineartamerica.com/featured/biggie-drexel.html
And of course, if you want the book, it’s available on Amazon.com. Get it here:
Featured in the House of Tate
In my gypsy-ness of moving from Brooklyn to Las Vegas and stopping in LA…for like 3 months…I’ve missed a lot. A lot of emails, a lot of things happening with friends or on the internets, and I’m just now trying to take a minute to catch up a little bit.
Apparently in August I was featured, among several artists in a webzine called “The House of Tate”. I actually didn’t even KNOW until I saw a new inbound link that I hadn’t seen before on my blog the other day. That was exciting, so I thought I’d share it with you. (Click on the image to see the webzine.)
This is the issue I'm in!
Thank you SO much to The House of Tate for considering my artwork worthy. You all are the best. XO, dreXeL
PS: There’s another publication I was in as well, that I forgot to tell you about. I’ll post that one soon!
“The House Of Tate produces, edits and publishes a digital webzine for the creative arts that features an eclectic mix of art, design, sculpture, photography, fashion & architecture, indeed anything creatively stimulating. (www.thehouseoftate.com) The webzine is published bi-monthly and distributed predominantly within the Advertising, Film and Creative industries as an inspirational Creative Digest.”

Some of Me Stays in Brooklyn…
My “Is This What You Want” painting is now being used on the Brooklyn Art Project’s membership signup form! That makes me extremely happy.
Back story: The first thing I did when I moved to Brooklyn a few years ago was an internet search for “brooklyn + art”. What came up was BrooklynArtProject.com. It was relatively new at that time. Of COURSE I signed up IMMEDIATELY. I met the owners, Anthony and James Cospito, and we all became friends. Instantly I felt like I was part of something in Brooklyn, part of the art movement, part of a good group of creative people, and no longer some random individual trying to make something happen in NYC alone. I went to their events, met a TON of amazing new and talented friends, and was involved in several group shows with them. When I moved away a month ago, I was silently worried about not being part of BAP anymore. I tried not to think about it, but I was definitely hoping I could still figure out a way to be part of it all, and hoping that they wouldn’t forget all about me.
Since I’ve moved I’ve been invited to a show with Brooklyn Art Project as well as this new feature on their website. So I realize now that location has no effect on our relationship, except that it makes it a bit tougher for me to stop by the studio or drop off/pick up paintings. But to be honest, I’ve never been very good at those things anyway. 😉
