#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:

I go to class drugged out and sick and this happens.  I kind of wish I would have approached this differently... but it works, I suppose.  For not being able to concentrate, this is alright.

Fat Canvases!

Ok so I havn't been posting every day, so here's a big update on some huge paintings and such Ive been doing. 

wip 40x30 oil painting

lol don't look at the face yet

Here's a homework piece, about the same size as the painting above.  This is in oil and although it's taking forever, it's fun as hell :D

Also: note the extremely rough texture...I should've sanded this baby down some before painting...

 Here's a picture I'm using for reference.  I'm pretty excitied about this one!  You are too, right model??

>.> ...looks like it

Here's the finished charcoal piece featuring a foot in motion kicking a soccer ball. 18x20 or something like that.

 This is something I randomly started.  Boredom can be great sometimes.  I'm liking how this is turing out really.  "Space Mary" I'm using the same model from my previous painting, if you can't tell haha!  They are my roomates and I have full art-creeping privileges.

you can see what they are up to art wise at the top of the page "Friends at CCAD" :)
