It has become blatantly clear to me that I spend most of my time working online and not nearly enough time painting. It’s all very well to work on promotions and building my online presence and it is paying off, but I need to focus on making my art as well.
I have been working on CSS for this blog, I’ve been worried about the way images have been displaying especially. I don’t know about the rest of you but I’ve been seeing images randomly squishing. the title and artist info has been not uniform and blended too well with the general text.
This month there are so many new artists and a fantastic curator. to view my pieces in this month’s competition please visit my artlog listings. Every view helps my work stand out!
Reflection,by Jennie This is the first finished piece in my latest, somewhat raw and disturbing series.
A Fair Catch by Norman Rockwell,by A Fair Catch by Norman RockwellNorman Rockwell knew what he wanted and wouldn’t settle for less, even when it came to models.Peter Rockwell recalled a 1956 trip to New York he made with his father, who needed a model to pose nude for a painting of an old lobster man with a mermaid trapped in his lobster pot.“When we got to the modeling studio, there were six young women waiting, each holding a photo of themselves in the nude,” recalled Rockwell.“In the painting, my father carefully covered the mermaid’s breasts with the bars of the lobster pot, but some still called it lurid and pornographic.”
I will gain some small revenue from each sale made after clicking on one of those links (even if it isn’t art related). I am limited on monetization options, because I don’t want to present something inappropriate to my subject matter and I don’t want visitors to be assaulted by ads…. I hope you will consider taking a look and maybe buying something from ebay after clicking one of my links.
I am addicted to my Visual Diary. it goes everywhere with me, especially to bed.
I’v been working on social networking, myspace, flickr, mybloglog, it can get pretty crazy but it is worth it – it’s all about presence and marketing. sometimes it’s hard to keep them all straight but they are slowly developing.
Many of my pieces are missing faces…. usually I have obscured them or edited them from the composition. I’ve been thinking for a while on it, and I wanted to bring my facelessness to the next level and make them more confrontational.I work faceless for a number of reasons.
