Albie and Georgia Painting

Georgia Goodrick and Albie Espinola

My new painting is of Georgia Goodrick and me. The painting was inspired from when we were in Thailand together. It was a time when there wasn’t a care in the world, just pure happiness and love. All I cared about was what fun things I can do with Georgia and what kind of curry I wanted to eat.

Two weeks ago when I posted the Manny Pacquiao time-lapse painting on Youtube, I didn’t think much of it. The most views for a painting (the Eniko Mihalik one) I posted on Youtube was a measly 2,000 and that was over a year old!

Present day, 2 weeks after I published the Pacquiao painting and I have got 8,000+ views! The Pacman having a fight recently had something to do with it. Also, the production of the fashion painting videos was admittedly weak as I did them in photographs. The finished products are cool though (unashamedly admit too).

I always had my video camera but once I literally almost blew up my desktop when I tried putting in the firewire into my computer. Huge sparks were flying everywhere whenever I put the damn wire in.

Not only 8000+ hits but with the views my work got featured in "the bible of boxing": Ring Magazine online! Unless you're a famous boxer, rising star or promoter like Don King, chances are you will never grace the site or magazine. I've been doing these paintings for all of 2 weeks and I’m featured already. Fashion artist doing boxing? Hell yeah! I read the website religiously and I am so honoured to have been in it.

Not just The Ring, Sporting News, Queensbury Rules and even a Russian website posted my video on their sites. Google my name and see for yourself…good times!
