And Then…

…Then, I decided to revisit the pose in a palette knife piece when I found myself in a zone with nothing to do! I think it is interesting, completely different from my other works and very bold. Oddly, I did this in acrylics and have learned a few cool things about them, they could be…

Marketing Kits

I’ve had some of their gear printed before and the quality is nice but I want to take it to the next level so I am working on creating designs based on their photoshop templates and the design on my website that is rapidly becoming my Visual identity…. Its going to cost but it’s worth doing it when the sales are on!I have been pondering visual identity and appearances.

We Knew it was coming…

“Artstar” is an eight-week reality-TV series in which eight artists, age 22 to 67, vie for an exhibition at a popular New York gallery.

Royal Portrait WIP – Stage 6

Royal Portrait WIP Image by Jennie (c). I am putting this up to show my frustration with this piece. the faces flattened and became dull and I lost hope in it in a big way. it happens to everyone eventually, I was tempted to chuck this straight in the bin to be honest and start…

Hiding

Hiding Image by Jennie (c). Another in this latest series. this is a softer approach, more flowy and less strong, but I’m not sure if I like it as much. It’s almost too soft for the series. I have had this image kicking around in my head for a long time and I like the…
