Welcome to my new artist's website. I have to say "artist's website" a few times, just to remind myself and search engines that I exist. Because technically, I don't...yet. Because this site is very new. If it were a baby, it would be wet and slithery. If it were an inflatable swimming pool, the smell of fresh-out-of-the-box vinyl would be knocking you down right now. Or maybe I got those two mixed up. Either way, it is fresh. And fresh stuff needs a proper intro, which you aren't going to get here. Instead, I'm going to give you 10 things to expect from this site, should the world not end.
1. Art
Can I get a big "DUH" from everyone? Well done. I like you already. Yes, there will be art. I make a lot of art, and I share different bits of it in different places. I've done this so much even I can't remember what I've made. So this is sort of a home base for everything. A virtual U-Lock-It storage unit for creative clutter. 2. Eclectic Styles I don't do any one particular thing. I like to experiment and dabble based on my moods and different things that inspire me at the moment. You might see a gnarly bit of pop art, a pastel children's illustration, a macabre pen and ink masterpiece, a random piece of cubism or a really bad doodle. Same goes for stuff I find by other artists. I just get randomly excited about anything that catches my eye or makes me laugh. I might do some curated posts of awesome artists some day. 3. Stuff for Sale Hey, art supplies don't buy themselves, ya know? If I post something really new and cool, and I have a place where you can buy it, I will mention it near the bottom of a post. My front page has links to the stores I have at the moment too. 4. A Not-About-A-Drawing post Sometimes I like to write a helpful post or a tutorial. 5. Links to Other Sites I currently maintain different sites (for different reasons). But if I think something on one of those will be helpful or interesting here, I may include a link. 6. Shout Outs! To other artists. Most of which who will probably be way awesomer than me. I might share their Instagram feed, their website or their shop page. Whichever I think would be more helpful to them.
7. Cartoons Sometimes I might not say much. Sometimes I just like to make a cartoon to say stuff for me. Some of them may be funny, some may be thought provoking. Some may touch on real life issues. All of them will be different because for the life of me I can't draw the same character over and over. (and also, I like different styles). 8. Conversation If you talk to me in the comments, I will talk to you. I like to talk. If you talk to me on one of my social media sites, I will talk. 9. Niceness My art might sometimes be a bit rotten in spirit, but I'm not. A bit of snarky humor? Yes. But I won't blister anyone for any sort of views. I will delete you though if you seem to be bullying anyone. Conversation is good, bullying is bad. (and that includes bullying that is thinly disguised and poorly excused as 'telling it like it is' rudeness. You won't receive any rude comments from me either, so we are 100% even. 10. Freebies Sometimes there may be small pieces or a coloring page or something you can download and print for free. Other than all that stuff, this is just a blog on an artist's website (ha, did it again) where I will post updates of what I'm drawing, some behind the scenes stuff, maybe a photo or two for artistic inspiration, finished pieces, and links to goodies. You can also expect posts about charity every now and then. I embrace "art for good" which for me means using art to make positive impacts. Even if that is just amusing you for a few minutes. Hope you visit again sometime! PS. This site is currently under construction, in case you didn't guess. I am hard at work behind the scenes resizing all the images to go in the galleries. My goal is to have everything up and linked by the end of April.
