Joe Bravo's 'Tortilla Art'

Filed under: Decor, Art


When someone says "tortilla" to you, what pops to mind? Lunch, right? A nice big burrito with extra sour cream. But Mr. Joe Bravo isn't like most of us, when he thinks "tortilla" he starts thinking of his next artistic inspiration. To him tortillas are canvases on which he paints amazingly detailed and deep creations with acrylics. Of course, the tortillas must be prepped and treated beforehand, and for each painting Bravo searches through several tortillas until he finds the one with just the right appearance and texture. This month Bravo will be heading to Hong Kong to showcase his floury creations while painting a celebrity live and in person. I'd love to see him paint -- must be an interesting process!

Bravo Gives Luxury Hotel The Reality Treatment

Filed under: Journeys


Not many hotels get their own television show. I seem to recall the Hotel Roosevelt having one a few years back. Now the Parker Palm Springs gets the cameras and the screen time. The posh hotel's one hour show on Bravo debuts on Thursday. Look for plenty of outrageous demands from well-heeled guests, drama among the hotel staff, and many, many beauty shots of the hotel.
