a wood burning i recently completed! i am between big projects and my first ever trip to denver (for denver comicon).. i won’t be posting much until after june 4th, but if you’re in denver come by and say hello next weekend, i’ll be in artist alley!
it’s time to clean out the studio! on monday i will be releasing a wood burning, a few post-its from the giant robot show as well as a few framed and unframed original watercolors through my etsy shop. these are all one-of-a-kind pieces, once sold, that’s it! ^_^ its a perfect time to grab an original as i will most likely not do this again for awhile ^_^
have a lovely day!
last night i joined a bunch of other female artists at 111 minna for sketch tuesdays. being inside a community of creators, in a space full of art is really lovely. i decided to create mini wood burnings and while i was burning the first piece i thought about how the process of creating art is just as beautiful as the finished piece.
as i started the second piece (and normally i don’t burn two pieces in one sitting and my fingers were definitely aching at the end) i saw that beneath my work, there was an additional pattern coming through the wood grain. in a way, i felt that the wood was collaborating with me to create layers of art. the relationship that develops with a medium, whether its sketching on paper, painting on the computer, or burning wood may not be visible, but its there – in each shade, shadow and line.
those are the things that make me truly love art.
its the last hours of my sale on fab, too. there are still some prints and wood burnings available.
i’m going to take a few days off of the daily work to focus on some other projects, back soon!
a work in progress!
the closing reception for my solo show is tonight! i will be doing a live wood burning demo, too! hope to see you there ^_^
these are some of the close ups from my solo show work!
i will be in LA on friday the 7th for the opening reception of the “i want my music video” show, i have a piece inspired by michael jackson’s black or white video in the show! i will also be back in the bay and selling my work at the rockridge out and about festival in oakland on sunday!
hope to see you there ^_^
