Its been a long time!

I haven't posted anything in months! I have been on an hiatus.  Soon, I will have some new things to share with you guys.

Spring is near!

My production has kind of been on a hiatus.
Unfortunately, I have picked up a second job and that has been eating up a lot of my time.  Too much.  More than I would like to devote to little pieces of green paper.

It is hard trying to balance everything but I haven't given up on it yet.

In the past month or so, I have found some wonderful artists on the web. Here are some links that you can check out.

I finally have my personal website up! I had been going back and forth for a long time about what I wanted to do about a website. I thought about having someone make one for me but that can be costly and it didn't make a lot of sense for me to pay someone to do what I could do for myself. Time was the biggest concern but I have managed to find a quick solution.

Right now, I am working on building up my body of work so that I can buff up my gallery. If you are interested in seeing what I have been working on check it out.

2011 a new year

I am excited about the new year. I have been thinking abouy what I want to do differently this year. The first thing I did today was wrote a list of all of the accomplishments that I have made. I have a tendency to see the glass at half empty, rather than half full...as long as it is not full. It is a very toxic way of thinking and I need to stop that. When I sat down and went through each sale and all the hurdles I had to jump over, like finding affordable materials ect I realized that I have accomplished a lot. I have sold a little over 1,000 dollars worth of art/crafts over 6 months. That isnt a phenominal number or anything but its good considering I am a noob and the shitty economy.

It didn't feel like a lot at the time because I couldnt see the big picture. I have done more in the past 6 months than a lot of people have done in years and I am finally acknowledging those small drops of water accumulating in the bottom of my cup.

So what's new for the new year?
I have some social experiments I wanna try. Of course there are new techniqus I would like to conquer but I also want to play around with different things to see how my audience responds to it.

I also would like a new outlet. I recently signed up on fineartamerica and after about 30 days i managed to sale 3 paintings, which is good. I would to find a bridge between me and international customers. No clue really how to make that happen but eventually it will.

I need to start updating this thing more regularly. I think I keep up with it pretty well, compared to the average blogger but even still. Its time to get this ball on the roll.

Happy new year.

My first painting of 2011! A fingerpainting!

This was completely experimental but it looks like it was a success! I will continue to do these. I love my paint brushes...but this was a lot of fun!

SOLD!

I was contacted yesterday buy someone from fineartamerica, looking to buy 2 of my paintings. That was something I wasnt expecting. Good news thought.

I made arrangements to sell a painting to a friend of mine as a xmas gift for a family member and it turned out that he ended buying two ceramic pieces s well. I feel like I am getting lucky with sales bc it is xmas..but i guess that is houw business works.

I thought that i would mention that. Lol
I hope everyone has a wonderful christmas/holidays ::
