I’ve re-opened my etsy shop and I have new items there. I’m still adding more items as I create them. I hope you’ll take a look. I’m working on some illustrations at the moment, so it will be crafty items along with illustration prints!

Since I’ve graduated I’ve been working on my online design portfolio. Suggestions please, I was unsure about the background for a while. I think I’m still unsure LOL. I’m trying to keep it clean yet still look artsy at the same time. I didn’t use a gallery script either – there are too many of them and they are too complicated. I just used a lightbox for each piece. It was a little bit of a pain having to make my own thumbnails but I survived. Please let me know your thoughts.

So exhibit titled “Grausigkeit” (German for “horror”) was a big hit however I did not have more than 400 people attend it which means I have a lot of postcards left over. If you would like one please email me christie[AT]girloncanvas.com and I can snail mail them to you. I enjoy collecting art-show postcards so I figured maybe there is someone out there with my obsession as well. My show was an exhibit of re-vamped classic horror movie posters. The ones featured on the postcards are “psycho” and “frankenstein”.

A sneak peak of my show/exhibit I’m having at my college next month. Of course I’m not showing full versions of anything, you’ll have to come see it! I wouldn’t want to spoil it for you. My show opening is April 12th. If you are interested in an invite please email me christieATgirloncanvas.com. I’ll tell you as much as the theme of the show is horror move posters. It’s a fun topic that everyone knows about, and something you can learn to appreciate even more. Here’s some pieces of the pieces to tease you.

I don’t know about you but I really enjoyed Lady Gaga’s new music video Telephone. In some scenes she really reminded me of a Roy Lichtenstein painting. I think the yellow-ish hair and mucho eye liner did the trick. I like it.
She really is a unique character. She doesn’t wear hats or accessories… she wears sculptures! You go Gaga.

Before I start my actual blog – I’d like to start off and say I am looking for other bloggers/artists that are interested in exchanging links. I’ll link you under blogroll/artists If you are interested please email me christieATgirloncanvas.com
Remember that digital drawing of a dragonfly I drew last semester? Well it turned out pretty nice, because I added a different touch to it. I put the drawing in layers. An idea I had for quite some time and never had a project I could use it on. Since I have sooo much STUFF being the semi-hoarder than I am and not enough closet space, I decided to sell it on Etsy. The pictures don’t really show very well the depth the drawing has since it is layered. The top layer is the outlines, the middle is the color, and the back is the background. The glass in the frame is not hugging the image so it makes it even better. I’m still proud of this project, and hoping to find it a home! It will be up on Etsy for the next few months.
