Day Eighty-Three!

Today was a crazy weather day, I feel like we had like 3 seasons all in a matter of hours. After work it was gorgeous so I set out with miss BooBoo (my dog) and the next thing I know the sky is opening up and it is raining like crazy. So me and Boo booked it back to the house just in time for the power to go out. I decided that it was a great time to start painting my image for the day since I wasn’t about to be doing much else. I really like the painting, I just kept watching it grow outwards. I can’t wait to try this again. Anyway Enjoy and I will see you tomorrow!

Day Eighty-Two!

Another Day another carving. It’s funny how once I start working on images that are from relief prints how obsessed I get. Absolutely loving this stamp even if it is a bit simple. Above is an image of the carved stamp itself as well as the print of it with a small flourish of color. I have been working on some greeting cards for an upcoming open studios tour that is happening in July. I always have to have something in a smaller price range that people actually don’t feel bad about buying since it can be used for another purpose. Functional art I guess. On a side note one of my very good friends just got engaged and I wanted to say Congrats to Laura and Lee, I’m so excited for the two of you! Enjoy and I’ll see you tomorrow!

Day Eighty-One!

Well tonight I sat and started carving some stamps to use on greeting cards that I am making. The carved image was based on some kind of seaweed debris stuff, which I of course loved! I thought it might be nice to layer the image since the actual object is such a dense layer thing, I may actually need to carve one more shape to throw into the mix. Not sold on the color combo yet but I was just kind of playing it safe and working with final layout. Anyway, I totally enjoyed making this, I haven’t carved something since Christmas so I was WAY over due. I actually started pricing presses again seems like the least expensive table top decent name press I can get is around $3000. Time to start saving my pennies. I only would need to sell like a billion cards! Enjoy and see you tomorrow!

Day Eighty!

Woohoo, I love hitting the milestones, although I never really intended 80 to be one of them. I do appologize for posting these at totally random times and stuff but my schedule is mad and I have been doing what I can do. This was a stress reliever, I was super overwhelmed and when I feel that way I always draw webs because I love them. Anyway enjoy and I’ll see you tomorrow!

Day Seventy-Nine!

Another simple doodle as most people would probably call it. I’m loving this combination though. I think it is probably the contrast I am so excited and attracted too not to mention I always have loved a bright pop of color. Right now the pink happens to be that color, obviously. So just a quick reminder Open Studios in Hull are happening soon. It is the weekend of July 7th and 8th. I will only be participating on the 8th since one of my besties is getting married on the 6th and it is going to be an amazing time! Which ultimately means Saturday = Recoup time. Anyway enjoy and I will see you tomorrow!

Day Seventy-Eight!

Another experiment with everyday materials that you find in your desk. I forgot to post before I left the house so now that I am back here it is. Hope everyone had a nice fathers day, we got to enjoy a wonderful family dinner from The Corrib in West Roxbury with the family. It’s one of my favorite comfort kind of restaurants. So back to this image I was really enjoying yesterdays image so I tried it again… It’s kind of fun to see the contrast of the line quality of a pen verse a sharpie verse a highlighter. Anyway onto the next image. Enjoy, see you tomorrow!

Day Seventy-Six!

Today was a bit of an experiment with layering. I went to the Cohasset Art Fair today which opened at 2pm and went through the tent to look at all the artwork. This was the show I had tried to get into. I actually think that my pricing may have been too high for a lot of the show, seems like if you don’t have a name for yourself you works should not cost over $600 and all of mine did. Oh well you live and learn. I did see one really interesting mixed media piece which inspired me to cut up the paper (which has absolutely no significance to me, it was a Citibank credit card brochure). Also, while I was there I ran into an old friend, Mr. Rodger Tirrell, who most of my friends know as our art teacher from High School. It is always such a pleasure to chat with him. Anyway, as I said before this was just an experiment and far from a completed piece. Anyway, Enjoy and I’ll see you tomorrow.

Day Seventy-Four!

Well even though today was Wednesday and typically Wednesday means my day off for rest and relaxation, I was completely busy all day long. This also means that although I plan for Wednesdays to be a good drawing day today kind of failed. I managed to sketch a tiny bit today in a small it of down time. I actually have nothing against the drawing itself other than it is quite simple and very incomplete, but I guess some days are just like that. Hoping tomorrow brings a bit more rest, working in the evening but theoretically that’s my only true obligation. HA! Anyway, Enjoy and I will see you tomorrow!
