Nude of the week – ipad concept sketch

I was hoping to have a render finished, but it was taking way too long! So here is a quick iPad sketch created in my current favorite program Asketch. I love this program, not just for the easy procedural drawing, but the lovely feeling and simple, non distracting interface. I love working in it!

Nude of the week- iPad painting

I still don’t have a studio, but that’s ok, because i’m consuming myself with learning to use my iPad as a serious medium. I’ve been drawing and painting on it every day, in multiple apps. It’s very interesting, they all have something to offer in different ways. This is painted in sketchbook pro and often…

ditch the nagging b**** and reclaim the most important thing

I haven’t done any real painting since moving as my studio is still very much under construction. it will soon be in a useable state and then a huge pressure will be relieved. because I’ll tell you a little truth about being an artist- the less you paint the less you want to paint- the reverse of my statement in my post 8 reasons why making art is like making love but that leads me back to my goals for 2011 and what I want to do about #5 on my list: I want to paint.

Nude of the week – iPad painting

Su Zizi – artistic purity through nudity

You all know my views on the nude, and on posing nude. what I think is interesting about this story is the way that Su is handling everything. her exhibition was quite successful and she has appeared live in an interview to discuss her views. she’s not shrinking away from the controversy, or the hype.

being and artist and a mother need not be impossible

(this works for cleaning too 🙂 have a list of goals for your art, your marketing and keep them in mind. make sure they are achievable and excite you. set particular goals for each year. this year I am focussing on creating works and marketing online, I have stepped back on exhibiting, but I am getting my gallery list together and starting to plan my calendar for next year. keep a sketchbook with you for quick ideas and sketches. no matter what you are doing there is always time for thinking about art!
