Painting!

My apartment is not (very) messy! We cleaned it up for a friend's visit last weekend and it is still somewhat remarkably tidy(ish). So that means I can stretch out on my bedroom floor and contentedly paint away. I really enjoyed making the above piece. I'm still not sure where I'm going with it. I'm going to photograph it tomorrow and then digitally edit it until it's just right. I'm really liking what I've done so far though, I like the whole sweater idea. It's the first of a series I have planned around every day comforts.

If I had a lot of extra money to spare I would go out and buy a ton of canvases and paint and lock myself up in my room for a few days. It would be quite nice.

In a 3 am fit of inspiration I came up with several painting ideas I really love. Random? Yes. So I will be working on them over the next few days and hopefully they come out nearly as awesome as they are in my head.

Today is not my day.

I have really been working hard lately on my business. I really want this to be a success, and I want to work towards a long term sustainable business that I will be able to run for a long time to come.

I have been keeping myself busy with making new illustrations, I have the tree one from my previous post now in a peach tone listed on my Etsy shop as well as a completely redone new Today is not my day, which is available in gold and teal as well.

I have also opened up a Dawanda shop here. It seems like a nice site so far, it's just taking a while to translate my listings into French (which I speak reasonably well) and German (which I couldn't tell you a single word of) Hey, scratch that, I know "kinder" as in kinder surprise or children or whatnot. Anyways, I do get a lot of buyers from the UK on Etsy, so it might be nice to have that shop there.

Well, it is much later than it should be and I have surface design class in the morning. (Yay!) I believe we are doing image transfers, so it should be quite interesting. I really love all the projects we've done so far, I really must photograph them and post about them here.

Goodnight, all.

This was my favorite tree.

New illustration! I'm really happy with how this turned out, it took me two days to do and it's finally starting to be in the style I want. I find with each illustration I find out new ways of doing it to get it closer to the vision I have in my head for it.

This one will be up for sale in my Etsy shop soon, I want to sell it printed on canvas paper so it will be a bit pricier but will look absolutely fantastic.

Anyways, I really feel like I will be able to continue working on my ideas now and will hopefully be able to put out a few more illustrations in the near future.

Have a good day!
