Arched - 7x5 oils on canvas
Arched – 7×5 oils on canvas by Jennie Rosenbaum

I’ve been working hard on updating my new pro account at artfire. adding new artworks, updating a blog there with tips, feeding the new stuff to twitter and then wash, rinsing and repeating. some of my descriptions have become a little stale so I am revamping some of them and trying to make these pieces pop. I’m also adding some works to a store on etsy, as artfire and etsy are linked together. we shall see which of the two performs better. so far I am getting decent traffic and I’m hoping to convert it soon.

Discovered artists is still my premier online art gallery, I refer the majority of buyers there, I like the upscale look and the fact that they curate the works and jury the artists. artfire is just a way to try to find more buyers in a different demographic, trying to make up for the hole that boundlessgallery has left.

Spirit – 21×36 oils on canvas by Jennie Rosenbaum

Her naked body

Rises fast

She lofty leaps

To my delight

Raised arms, curved spine

Away she darts

Today, my love….

She’s bathed in light!

I am so honored that my work has inspired this beautiful poem. to read the full piece, fully illustrated throughout with my works please visit here for more works by Phantomimic you can view his scribd page at http://www.scribd.com/Phantomimic or follow him on twitter

Stretch - 12x10 Oils on Canvas
Stretch – 12×10 Oils on Canvas by Jennie Rosenbaum

Artist Tracy Helgeson has put together a blog showcasing artists who are selling their work online. Things like this are so helpful in this market, where luxuries such as art are hit hardest. check it out here : http://thefineartdepartment.blogspot.com/

what am I doing with the market downturn? I’m focussing on making my more affordable pieces, the smaller works and the watercolors, I’m building on my techniques and abilities and skillset so that I am ready for the market when it changes. Because I will be moving house soon I have also started a sale at boundless gallery where you can pick up my works for 15% off. this is a precursor to a price raise that will have to happen at the start of next year so if you have been eyeing off a piece, now is the time!

Stance by Jennie Rosenbaum

I’ve been working at getting all of my online listings up to date including updating all my latest work on Discovered Artists. It’s not the most thrilling activity on the planet but it is all for a good cause. plus my sexy new iMac and Leopard makes it much easier. the speed, the easy photo access all speeds up a dull routine. hell, everything is more fun with a hot new computer! so drop by DA and check it out.

Next I will be working on my listings on BoundlessGallery and editing the prints that are available on Redbubble. oh yes, the life of an artist is glamorous indeed.

new blog project

Darren Rowse at Problogger has created a new group writing project- Killer Titles and it has inspired me to start a blog project of my own that I have been planning on for some time. a series of tutorials on Daz 3d designed for artists. I know a few of you out there already use it really well (better than me in all likelihood!) but I don’t know many artists that use it the way I do. this may be a stupid idea, I don’t know but I’d like to give it a shot – even if it’s only for reference for myself!

Freedom - 36 x 36 Oils on Canvas
Freedom – 36 x 36 Oils on Canvas by Jennie Rosenbaum

With all of the hooraw around my exhibition I’ve been a bit remiss in reporting other things that have been happening. In particular my latest Barebrush success where my work Freedom was chosen to not only kick off the month in the coveted 1st date but also nominated for a curators choice award. I am particularly ecstatic as the curator for this month’s exhibition is Ann Aptaker the exhibitions curator of the Morris Museum. She chose my work for it’s “sweeping use of space” which is high praise to me!

Votes are now open for the Curators Choice award. Please vote for Freedom!

Down with phplist

Turmoil - 12x12 Oils on Canvas
Turmoil – 12×12 Oils on Canvas by Jennie Rosenbaum

I have had it with phplist! the amount of issues I’ve had with that stupid program are just not worth mentioning. I have officially stopped being a cheapskate now and have paid for a proper mailing list provider at Your Mailing List Provider. so far they seem to have what I want, their tests have so far come up well, they had an extensive free trial) and I wont have to spend hours mucking with it every time I want it to do something.

as far as I can see, the problem is that my server runs php under apache. it’s not it’s own entity but almost a php simulator- diet php, and phplist seems to have massive problems with that. I could spend more and more hours working on it and get more and more frustrated, but as I see it $40 isn’t that much an outlay for a year of stress free newsletters. plus, paying for it may actually encourage me to send them more often.

I will try to make this changeover as smooth as possible, there will be some to-ing and fro-ing but hopefully you subscribers wont actually see anything but newsletters that work the way they’re supposed to.

Slump 12 x 12 Oils on Canvas by Jennie Rosenbaum
Slump 12 x 12 Oils on Canvas by Jennie Rosenbaum

I think my phplist went a little haywire this weekend. I was creating my newsletter mailings as I usually do and it crashed and I think in the effort to try and fix it I may have sent out multiples of the same newsletter to people. if I did I am truly sorry. I have almost had it with phplist. it seems to be one issue after another after another and I’m just not sure I can keep it up – it just looks so unprofessional. still, I guess you get what you pay for…

Why do I love twitter?

Mirror - 36 x24 Oils on Canvas by Jennie Rosenbaum
Mirror – 36 x24 Oils on Canvas by Jennie Rosenbaum

Like so many others I have recently become addicted to twitter. before, it was just another site that notifications of blog posts went out to. Then I guess I became a victim of my all time favorite ploys “because I can” and “because it might be useful some day.” I connected it to Facebook, then my mobile, then twhirl, then I may as well add Pownce and Jaiku seeing as twhirl posts to them as well. I blame Ecto which started it all with it’s handy little blog notification tool.

Why do I love twitter?

I work from home, alone (while Liam is at work). I have the cats to keep me company but to be honest – they sleep a lot and get grumpy when I talk to them and wake them up. I don’t miss my old day job, but I do miss the camaraderie, people to share thoughts with, no matter how little or banal. my blog is one way I reach out to people, I love the chance to converse about my favorite topics. But what do you do with all those small thoughts? the what ifs, the hey this site is cool, the OMG my website just died, the little rants and raves that make up our day? and more importantly, where can you hear others sharing theirs? twitter is my background noise, my water cooler, my way of realizing that there are other people out there. I tend to get very insular and agoraphobic if I don’t maintain human contact and twitter is the ideal way for me to do that without giving up my privacy to paint or overly distracting me from work.
