Constant Dreamer

Changed My Mind

These new prints have really grown on me and I decided to list them in my shop. Intially, I was concerned about the fact that they look a little different from my other work due to the buttons. Now? Not so much. Different is good.

I found that I have so many ideas for this series that I simply cannot ignore it. I love it when that happens. This one is titled "Tree and Underwear" and the original is acrylic and ink and buttons on Ampersand Hardbord (yes, that is how they spell hardbord).

Just like stick-legged creatures, I have also had a thing for underwear in my art since college. This is completely tame compared to some of the things I subjected my classmates to. Thankfully.

Dreaming of Trees

Two of my button pieces are finished so far. I'm calling the series "Dreaming of Trees". It is a HUGE departure from where I started (that project is unfinished and hanging on the wall beside me right now).

I like the results, but I'm not so sure about selling them as prints. The buttons create a space between the art and the scanner glass and it's really bothering me at the moment. I'm not sure I want that look. I definitely plan to continue on with the series. Even if I don't make prints, I can put the originals up for sale.

This one is tenatively titled "Tree and Zebra" and the original measures about 12x12 inches. I painted over a piece that I did my junior year of college (another long-legged chicken I'm afraid). It's a little bit sloppier and more immediate than my other work, but I like it that way.

Laundry time.
