Have you ever wanted to Customize Your Breasts with a piece of Art? Well now is your chance to do it with a one-of-a-kind, Karrie Ross Bustier embellished just for you.

Customize Your Breasts with a Karrie Ross Bustier; 15w x 13h x 7d

Together we’ll create the imagery that represents the who you are… the external and internal visual and dialogue you will keep forever…OR… Gift it to a loved one for a special day. Either way, the you you are today will live on in this piece of custom artwork.

I’ll spend time with you in person or on the phone asking questions. We’ll review your feelings, passions, desires along with the colors and textures you like best. We can use clothing, fabrics, jewels, paint, pencil and more… along with a variety of different mediums to bring your custom bustier alive. Your personality will be exposed for the drama and dialogue for the back, which all comes from you…your experiences.

When I completed the first bustier in this series, I realized I had exposed a part of me that I hadn’t recognized before. Oh it wasn’t a deep dark secret, but it did open my eyes and I’ve grown a little more with each one that has been created after that. (I have about 15 bustiers already created which are for sale, and priced at around $950 each, if you decide not to commission your own. Please contact me for details.)

Your Custom Bustier begins with a 15w x 13h x 7d, existing plastic form Continue reading →

SOLD: “Oh The Two of Us”

Oh-the-two-of-us-SOLD: 2011 to Lori and Herair Garboushian (Karrie in the middle)

I’m excited to announce that Spiral Series: Bustiers:  “Oh The Two of Us” SOLD at the LAAA annual auction to Lori and Herair Garboushian of Los Angeles.

This is the first Bustier I painted/drew in this series. I started the beginning of this year and I now have 15 finished with more to come.

Being the first one, it was painted most similar to my Spiral Series paintings in its approach with the drawing and painting applied to the “canvas” of a plastic bra form. This seems to be classified as a sculpture since it is free standing  but I did not do the form. I plan to explore that avenue later. I consider this a painting/drawing.
