SWEET STREET's #PrayForJapan Art Fundraiser - My Piece -
Sorry there have been no updates lately... it's been a rough week because of all the disaster in Japan. My grandmother, aunts and uncles, cousins, sister, and many great friends all live there now, so needless to say I was very stressed for their safety. However, every person I know there is safe. Thank heavens for that. It hurts my heart terribly to see my country suffering like this.
How to scan my large paintings?
Question of the day: How can I get high-dpi scans of my large artwork on wood?
I am spending ALL DAY trying to figure this out! There's not much info about this online, and I'm about to stab Google in the O for being so useless!
Charmaine Olivia does it just exactly the way I wish to do it. Here:
Newest piece "Tears & Rain -Namida Ame-
It's a mixed media collage on Masonite board, 18x34. The elements I used: watercolor+colored pencil painting of the girl's face, gold leaf, Japanese paper (for the flowers), and the background is acrylic paint. Next time I think it'll do a step-by-step of my method. I wanted to try it out first to make sure everything worked ok.
I'll make ask E to build a frame for this tomorrow.
Momentum OKC ~Friday and Saturday~
If you live in OKC area and have nothing to do Friday or Saturday, you should come say hi at Momentum OKC, happening on both nights 8-midnight at 311 S. Klein Ave in downtown OKC. There will be tons of art from local artists under 30, and I think some pretty large installation pieces too. There will be live music, and I'm hoping for food, of course. I have one piece, "Spring -Haru-" in the show. I wished I had 2 more, but alas and alas, that's the way it goes. Anyway, it should be an interesting event. This will be my first time to attend the show~
Wonderfully Organic, Flowing Work: Sarah Blake!
I discovered Sarah Blake today from my dailystalkingfollowing of Audrey Kawasaki's ffffound. I've seen Sarah's work before, but never knew who was responsible for the magic. Look at her wondrously designed organic forms curling into one another at a breathtaking rate! And the colors, oh! >_<
