What now..

Journal Entry: Wed Sep 9, 2009, 5:59 AM
Hello all you wonderfully talented people,

This is a quick up date from me and where I am now.
The art market went well... as in I received many good compliments and was noted by some and inquiries were made. However we are in an economical crisis so the public were holding tight to their money. Damn.

Items of my bead work were sold...which makes up for it. Plus all the other artists were complaining about the no sales. So it wasn't a baring on my art work.

Before the art market 2 from my Lilies collection were sold. & . They were sold to an old school friend of mine in Gibraltar. i now have negotiate my way around DHL to get them shipped safely.

So now what. Good question.
It seems that the fishes work goes down well in this country but my flower paintings go down better on-line. And I really want to get a collection together just so I can start bothering exhibit halls in the area. Getting seen is the key.

So what I am going to do is 2 more flower paintings...Dahlias - from our garden. Maybe some other flowers. So then at least I have a flower collection to show.

Then....

I will do some more fishes. With out the checkered background.

However I have just gotten 2 commissions. One is do to a tattoo based on the game "Gurps" by Steve Jackson. The artist is Alex Fernandez. My friend wants a Faerie. Now this is very cool... which is why I am doing it. However she is in England and I am in Holland. I am guessing she wants a black and grey drawing of the Faerie... and now side on, as in the image available on-line. She wants her face on.

Has anyone had any experience with designing black and grey tattoos. If so I am in need of advise... before I get this all wrong. And yes I am watching lots of LA Ink.

The second is one I will have to wait for. The client wants a Buddha. Now anyone out here in Holland will know that the Buddha paintings are really in fashion. Its almost an interior and garden fixture. Which does annoy the hell out of me. It sort of cheapens the image that Buddha brings. I am sure it will fall out of fashion as quickly as Mandalas did 3 years ago.

Plus this is the 2nd Buddha I have had to paint. I am not complaining about the work... i was just hoping for something a bit more inventive.

Anyhoo the client is now off deciding on what form of Buddha.
