Frame for "Spring," apologies
First of all, I had fun going to the store and picking a nice frame for my newest piece. The 9x12 size didn't have a label, so they were kind and gave it to me at the 8x10 price! I love how it turned out. I also opted for the museum-quality glass this time to minimize that annoying glass glare.
Spring -春-
Yay! I finished the sketch from the previous post. Amazingly, I like her quite well... The giant kanzashi in her hair took quite a while to do. I am pleased that she turned out the way I envisioned her when I started. That almost never happens. Sorry for the blur on the edges of the image. I'll get it scanned properly at FedEx tomorrow. My scanner is miserably small. :')
Beautiful images for my brain
Here are some of the pretty things I've found today to inspire me. I don't have original credits for the photos; just let it be known that they are © to their respective owners and none of them are mine. :D
Lowbrow art or Pop Surrealism
Today I learned the name of the type of art I love to look at and do: lowbrow art. I am just very glad b/c I've not known this term before. It's things like graffiti (which I'm not that interested in, but oh well) illustration, cartoons, fashion, etc, etc... things that "real" "American Artist" type artists frown upon as "not real art."
