Works in progress...

Salutation!

Hello all. Today I am working on a few different projects. I have started a new watercolor inspired by Miss Liza Minnelli. While searching for new techniques and other inspirations I stumbled on this wonderful website... http://fluidbeauty.com/. His art is amazing and the colors are so vivid. I've also discovered that the quality of my watercolor paper is not at all where it needs to be. I'm finding it pretty disappointing to work on but I don't want to scrap the whole project just yet.



I have also been working on a little sculpture. I haven't done much work with additive sculptures so I've been excited to finally sit down and work on a mini bust. I've been using Sculpey clay and the plans are to paint with some acrylic and find a waterbased acrylic sealant. I haven't done anything like this so I'm excited for the final product.










I'm also about to start a new ink project based off of my friend Amber's drawing. I'm also super excited for that. I love her style and her original drawing was fantastic. I felt really inspired from it and (with her approval) I've decided to try it in my own style. My problem is that I love hers so much I might end up only changing a few minor details and have it in ink instead of graphite.

Well, I'm off to draw!

Cheers!

It Lives!

The beast is up and running! I have officially launched my website. You can find it here at Obscured Artistry. Seven prints are available through the Wix (flash heavy) website. Right now the only payment option is PayPal. I also have created an Etsy account which can be found here Obscured Artistry Etsy Account. There is only one print available on Etsy because they charge a fee to host images and they take a cut of the profits.

I plan on using this site to update works in progress, vent frustrations, and hopefully sell some prints. This is new territory for me. Many times I've vowed not to sell work and the idea of selling prints is a scary one but being as I am currently unemployed it seems like my best option.

Cheers!
