#86 Art Sale adventures

Thanks to everyone who gave their support at the CCAD art sale on Saturday! It was a real fun experience and will definitely be there next year.  It's funny, I could not even begin to predict what people wanted to buy or were interested in...  One thing's for sure, I will be selling smaller things and sketchbooks next time!

hehe I have business cards :D

There I am on the cramped 2nd floor of the art show.  Next to me is my table buddy, Thierolfolis (or Rowkey) as well as our double punch combo of cute animals and naked people was, I think both of us deserve our own table next time.  I was so happy to see her and my friends at ccad sell lots of prints!

I feel pretty good about the sales, but I still have A LOT of prints AND originals left.

They are $8.00 each

Honestly, I don't even think that is all of them.  Long story short, I brought WAY too many originals... large sized originals.  They are all matted and can be framed on request.


The price on those depends on the size, medium and quality of the piece.

There was no where to put them. Period.  As in, people couldn't even see most of them behind my table.  For the most part, I blame CCAD's organization of the floor where I was located.  I had about a foot of room behind my table and we were not allowed to hang things on the walls (unless you brought your own walls).  I compensated a bit by building a type of folder in front of my table, but it seemed like people did not like to sort through it.  I'll have to re-think a better rack or something for next time. 

At any rate thanks to all who stopped by!  I hope to see and hear from you in the future! C:

Contours and Bronze!

Hey, it's been a while, and now it's time for a big update!

Here are some lithographic prints I've been pumping out.  I'm selling these prints at 10.00 $ a pop.  If you are interested, please email me- Athompson.3@go.ccad.edu

This is made from a picture of a bathtub, sink and toilet I have taken at an abandoned gas station.

 Here's the acetate version- cool to look through.
It's the idea that nothing has permanence.  There are 14 prints left

Another print, this one is of a skeleton featuring geometric designs of spines along the boarders.  9 prints left.

My bronze sculpture! "Big Billy Business"  I really like how this turned out.  I am in the process of sanding it down and using patina on it to give it a richer color of my choice.  The whole process is just so interesting and fun, I suggest you all give it a try sometime when you get the chance. 

Texture!!

This a line drawing from class in H pencil- it's a two part drawing.  So next class, I'm going to be adding value to it.  I kind of just want to India Ink this thing lol- screw graphite.  But oh well, next time you see her, she'll look rendered.

I'm really interested in sculpey, I have never used it before, but it just looks so fun and you can make such beautiful things! I'll be working on a design for something to sculpt, along with working on my painting-first one of the semester! [I'll keep you updated]  Example of one of the people who can sculpt brilliantly with sculpey [I think it's sculpey anyway] - Danelle Vierkant.  Her concepts are just awesome, go check out her stuff!

hey hey- so who's excited about the new Disney movie, TRON Legacy coming out? I AM.  Thanks to this great person, I get to go to a Imax preview next Thursday! Yes, it's only 20 mins long, but they will be a glorious 20 mins of my life.

Here is the Tron Sweepstakes, where you can make your own program and enter every day.  The more days you enter, the more chances you get to winning fabulous prizes! Go on and check it out :]

Haaahhhh so here's to a stress-free week to all you great people.  Go ahead and go into comatose for a few mins each day, it's better for you than you think
