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!
Made for my best friend for her 25th birthday
Great use of her main facebook photos
It has been a while, and I had been so busy between my art show and graduation! But I graduate in 5 days so you’ll be seeing a lot more of me. I have new pictures of projects I’ll be posting. Hang loose a second… I’ll be back… =]
My blog is finally feeling like my blog now that I have a more personalized theme made. Thank you to Whitters who helped me with the coding part. I’m not too wordpress friendly yet, but I will get there.
Lately I’ve been posting a lot on Twitter just because its easy and I have a blackberry, so why not? I’ve come across quite a few artists, designers and etsy people on there. Its a lot of fun. I also just discovered the delicious plugin for firefox yesterday. I had NO idea you could add favorites from anywhere and sync it to your computer. I was hanging around the computer lab yesterday after class and noticed this guy Anthony had it on his firefox, so I asked him about it. I’m still getting used to using a mac too, so I’m still kind of a baby when it comes to the little things about a mac. Although I am sure you could do the same for a PC, I didn’t have a delicious account until a few months ago anyway. If you have a delicious account, add me to your network or whatever. I am not used to using it 100% but I will figure it out in no time I’m sure.
I’ve been working on my BFA every week since January. My show is April 12 – 16 so I’m looking forward to getting it all finished. The theme for the show is re-making old horror movie posters, as if they were made today. It is fun, but very challenging. I’ve not done a lot of work in large format and it has been a struggle, but I’ve figured out a solution. I’ll be posting what the posters look like on here eventually, but they will of course be downsized. I really just can’t wait to move forward, and get this done with. This is what I have been working up to for so long but I can’t wait to be working and starting my life!
I am also looking for other bloggers, and other artists to link in my “blogroll” and “artists” link section, so if you are interested in link exchanging please leave a comment or contact me and let me know. I’m going to attempt to blog once a week at least from this point on, now that I am living back home it will be a lot easier. I also think wordpress has an app for blackberry, so that should be good if I can figure it out 🙂
I’m still here I swear, I’ve been busy working on everything! I’m mostly on twitter since I can easily update and browse that with my phone. I still really want to re-do this blog. I’m still on the hunt for someone to customize it for me. I can do it, I just don’t have the patience! If you specialize in making wordpress themes, please let me know! 🙂
Well It’s been a while. A lot longer than I wanted it to be. A lot of change went on in my life over the past month. My dad passed away suddenly. I put up a splash page in memory of him. After all, I did get my *artsy* side from him. He loved to paint and draw just as much. I miss him so much, it’s still so hard to believe but I know he’s there watching me and he will see me through all that I do. I miss you daddy, I hope you’re happy and at rest now!
I also went to Miami the end of July and got to visit the Bass Museum of Art. It was a fairly small museum (compared to NYC museums). I did enjoy it very much. They had a small exhibit going on there, and it was comparing renaissance art to art and objects of the present. For example, they had a refridgerator, and that represented the block that The David was made out of. Both being marble, but served different purposes. They also had a modern David, made to look more like a store front manequin. I thought it was hilarious! It’s so true. Everything we have today is molded and and mass-produced. There are no unique one of a kind things like original David.
They also had the exhibit Tiny Stories going on. They were randomly put throughout the museum, and just 150 word stories from all different kinds of people. Some were very funny. In a way it kind of reminded me of Post Secret.
Overall the museum was very nice, I went on a Sunday and it was real quiet, not too crowded at all. If you’re ever in Miami and you enjoy museums I definitely recommend it.
The site is finally open for visitors! I fixed up the portfolio section and added some more images. I still have a long way to go before all my art is added so it will constantly be updated. I still have some things I want to edit and take care of but I am glad the site is good to go.
At the end of the month I will be in Miami. I’m very excited my boyfriend says there’s a whole art district down there, so I have to do my research for galleries or something I can visit.
first post… I have finally arrived! World beware.
