7 Ways to Establish That Your Art Has Value by Alyson B Stanfield
Look at this great list that was delivered to my email today. Alyson B Stanfield aka "art biz coach" always has wonderful tips especially for artists trying to move from part-time to full time. I still have difficulty with several of these items (especially belittling my art... I'm part Japanese and it's actually a normal part of our behavior to belittle ourselves and complement others. Bah!) See what you can learn and practice from the list below!
Biggest Painting Yet! "Dream Moon -Oboro Zuki-"
I finally finished the biggest painting I've ever done in my life (I think.) She is called Dream Moon -Oboro Zuki- and is mixed media (including tons of gold leaf) on board and 48x27.
Amazing artist: 非(hi)
Audrey Kawasaki finds the best things EVER! This time she found a mysterious Japanese artist called 非(hi). We don't know if he/she's a guy or girl. Anyway his/her works are AM-A-ZING. They'll zing your socks off. They are digital, but to me they look like oils. Look at this use of color, the "brush"strokes, the power! I feel sorry for some of his/her subjects because they look like they are victims of human trafficking and the Cordilla Virus. Oh well. Here are my faves of that aren't quite as creepy.
Winston Chmielinski
I just can't resist his fantastically rainbow crazy paint splatter scribble explosions of pure amazingness. I have to cover my mouth so I don't scream (I'm at work.) I love it when I find artists that are so wonderful they make me scream. The last time this happened was with David Choe's work. Ahhhhhhh I am so very inspired, and I hope you are too. I hope to see much more more of Winston's work. I think I'll buy a print RIGHT NOW.
Boy-faced Girls
Gaaaaahhh! These days I am so crazy about beautiful girls that have that boyish look about them!
