Or too late I guess whichever way you look at it. Only available <a href="https://puppycatandmouse.etsy.com/" target="_blank">in my shop</a> for Christmas 2024 season! This idea for a Christmas card/print series popped in my head only a week ago. Not in the Christmas spirit as much as refining my drawing/inking skills. And boy was it refreshing! It took my mind away from depression and anxiety and sadness. My inspiration came from my sister’s pack of chihuahuas (currently painting her a portrait) , black and white minimalism, starry nights, nature, funny cats and, Charlie Brown and Linus Christmas tree shopping around the silly trees on the tree lot. My fave scene. </div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">I plan to offer these as prints. Nøt printables as I’m feeling more like digital downloads cheapen my art and also customers prefer a physical product!!! So do I. Nothing beats touching the cool and funny and unique item! </div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">My new 2024 word is P O L I S H. Slow down with your art. Choose your flow. Do not rush. And look at the silly results from drawing and inking. Still don’t forget to be free and loose and a bit sloppy abstract. Imperfect design is fine. </div><br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEh7mi6Kg4attSE5Saj-llRFKJLfZcyX3DCu5jfDP_p_GQVhps5XXmmfbJpwZ1EahfIyZYvC0eG66oaY73jzjFc9ndpcWk2L_2VtfrEfQ5XqAaC6EyyHynocexkKi2aheHFSDYHsTCgrBcr0FIyvsBcB1K5d1AUj3TEb5EszmpMXcP6I6SSlPf5BR8gYLc4/s1000/IMG_2088.jpeg" style="margin-left: 1em;

I love the pensive non challant cat look and the color palette is lovely! I plan to begin the new and improved design collection in my shop which includes POD prints and less printables (digital downloads) physical products sell well!!!<p></p><p>I’ve included the family photos because it’s is who I care most about and is a reminder of why I do what I do! Leia and my pets are my greatest inspiration and motivation moving forward with this art path I’m on. This thanksgiving I became sick with the flu for four days and was unable to do anything productive. Being miserable and depressed I was reminded once again of how to not take my health for granted. To be alive and productive is what I live for! Staying active and healthy is a great day any day. I don’t care what you are up to. Poor Doug suffered no long walks for days sorry Dougie but I’m back at it. I’m making stickers and calendars and mugs and candles and have a large painted portrait that I’m in the midst of and I can’t wait to reveal it (30x40”!)</p><p>Bring it on December “month that is the most depressing month ever I can deal with you and not feel fear or anxiety from you”🤺🥷🧘♀️</p>Kim Widmarkhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/04195311045319572224noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4892328741738253647.post-24081780338272606972023-10-28T14:32:00.016-07:002023-10-29T11:22:35.204-07:00Back to the house of Norway for KOSELIG inspiration <p></p><br /><table align="center" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" class="tr-caption-container" style="float: right;

No fonts or grids just simply an imperfect looking calendar that has a ton of love and charm!!! Size will run tiny!!! 4x5”! Yes please. Desk calendar size. Printed on either glossy or matte. Not sure. Will need to order some samples to be sure!!!</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">So this tradition will happen every year.

That is the process of creating that I loooove!!!! Initially I had an idea in my brain about some sort of Halloween activity printable and so I played with canva multiple times until last night it occurred to me that the numbers could be scribbled out with a black marker every day to reveal the cute and scruffy black kitty cat on October 31. Way more interesting and fun and the idea that kids would enjoy this takes this design to a whole new game changing level!! It reminds me of advent calendars from back in the day minus the chocolate or toys. Lol. <p></p><p>Silly title to a cute fall printable? Check. Mouse nibbling on a Candy corn? Check. Pink Halloween aesthetic? Check. Cute black cat lover gift? Check. Affordable activity during Halloween for the whole family? Check. Can be printed year after year? Check. I love my spooky black “cat-down” to Halloween!

From concept in my brain last year to for sale in my shop today. This is what I love.

text-align: center;"><br /></div>Here is a tip for a future mover: when you believe all of your possessions will fit in a 10’ moving truck, it will not. <p></p><p>I started depersonalizing and packing up my stuff in my old fancy and overpriced apartment a month before the big day. Saran Wrap is THE best tool for keeping your crap in order plus garbage bags. Expect a humongous physical and mental workout for 2-3 days strait. Still, this new and improved living space is the best and smartest decision I am making right now. Dougie is settling in and desensitizing himself to the traffic, people,scooters,bikers and dogs! He has been a reactive doggie for some time and I believe it will only take a couple of weeks for him to settle. </p><p>I wanted to document my first portrait of Dougie back in 2021- and the improvement I have made in a matter of 2 years! I’m slowing down I’m focusing more intently on my strokes and adding way more interesting details such as this tshirt and mouse addition to the funny dog wall art that is available as a print or a coffee mug!</p><p><br /></p><p>This neighborhood is beautiful and I’m looking forward to better days in the future. </p><p>“Leave it Doug” is the title of the funny dog art. Doug.🤪</p><p></p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"></div> <p></p><p><br /></p>Kim Widmarkhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/04195311045319572224noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4892328741738253647.post-49828812796739655962023-05-27T14:54:00.006-07:002023-05-27T19:27:55.260-07:00Cool cat series (beatnik buddies prints) for sale in my Etsy shop!<p></p><div class="separator" style="clear: both;

I love this scruffy grey kitty cat design from last year I painted a knitted hat with big mouse ears- like Minnie not thinking just thought it was a cute idea-listed on <a href="https://www.etsy.com/shop/Puppycatandmouse" target="_blank">Etsy</a> and then it occurred to me that ANYTHING that looks remotely like Disney MUST GO AWAY so I removed that design to protect me and my shop from being shut down or even sued for infringement. The wee mouse on the hat is simply a funny addition and I love that this can be achieved without getting into trouble. Many artists add a silly mouse to their designs- nothing new but still my own unique style! So I modified this cutie pie and now he/she is a beatnik cool cat with multiple variations. I love them ALL. But the floofy grey cat with heterochromia eyes is my current fave. These would look so cute in a 1-nursery 2-kids room 3-just for fun because you are a cat lover and or a cool beatnik nerd. These are definitely going to be added as POD mugs, candles and totes. <br />Obsessed with cats now because I lost my black cat this year and this is my focus right now. <br />Cat mom forever🥺🐈⬛😻</td></tr></tbody></table><br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both;

text-align: center;">I am pleasantly surprised at Walgreens print quality! The offer glossy prints online only and you can order matte for more money and time to pick up. That’s for another time. But this pink kitty cat vivid and bright print is very good and I suggest buyers to seek out Walgreens for all their art print (and photo) needs! </div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">Although the dark and moody raccoon is a good print, I am not happy with the chalky background-that will def need to be improved to fit the look I’m selling. Walgreens prints it a muddy color but the home printer actually printed good. It truly depends on your printer. And home printers are never color calibrated properly. You can count on local pro print shops and online shops to do the job right! </div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">The top photos are the custom pet portraits printed from Walgreens (@ $2 for an 8x10-that is a discounted price and they seem to offer that multiple times a year so always be on the look out for deals there!)</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">A full body <a href="https://www.etsy.com/listing/1442333385/" target="_blank">pet portrait</a> for less than $63 (right now bc of a sale that will end after April 30!)</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">is a super unique and special gift for a cat mom for mother’s day or a dog dad for Father’s Day coming soon!

I’ve painted furby many times but never quite felt the sort of depth and feeling in my paintings before. He was never groomed properly like a Pomeranian should be. I gave him baths in the sink and called it good. The use of pink as a background is pleasing with the blonde and golden fluff colors. Such a tiny nose he had. 😑 I miss him so much. Currently working on a series of pets painted traditionally as to mix up my mediums. I really believe I can confidently paint both digitally AND traditionally. It works!

I’ve photographed and painted her multiple times and prints are available in my <a href="https://www.etsy.com/shop/Puppycatandmouse" target="_blank">Etsy shop</a>. She has won 2 photography awards at the start of her living at our home in 2009. See the recognition page in my blog here. My paintings of her are her as a kitten as I imagine her. Goofy. Spazzy. Bossy. Bitchy. Shoes were a favorite to pee on. She had a special button. Touch her and her purr motor switched on. 14 years of cat craziness. I will miss you. </div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">Rest easy dear Razzy♥️♥️♥️</div><br /></div><br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br /></div><br /></div> <p></p>Kim Widmarkhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/04195311045319572224noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4892328741738253647.post-38784756841169372662022-12-16T19:01:00.009-08:002022-12-16T19:14:30.443-08:00Puppycatandmouse progress and to new continued creations for 2023!<p></p><table align="center" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" class="tr-caption-container" style="margin-left: auto;

text-align: center;"><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">Three months since I opened my Etsy shop. Currently have 53 listings and 11 sales. 2 are organic. Rest are family and friends!!! Thanks guys for supporting me! I had a goal of 100 listings by the EOY but it’s not what matters. My quality and time that it takes to properly create the products and list them accurately is my focus. I do completely understand the logistics of product listings and how it may take 90 days for algorithms to catch up. My products will soon enough be ranking higher slowly but surely. I’m patient and do believe in slow growth. For anything and everything. </div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">I have this routine of re working and modifying and enhancing an old design plus creating a brand new design twice a week. Sprinkles of variations of current designs plus POD. Mugs. Candles. Totes. To start. Nothing complicated. And different price points as well. I have a AOP tote for about 11$. And another organic tote for $30. I have a stock of 50 stickers that were printed from stickerAPP. With a cool NO plastic product packaging! A variety of sample wall art prints in glossy and fine art paper. Ugh the matte fine art paper is to die for from Mpix. Looks AND feels like real authentic watercolor prints. All of these products have links to my Etsy shop!</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">I recently unlisted all of my eBay listings. I did not close u the shop but rather put it on hold. I do regret choosing eBay over etsy. Ten plus years of solid product sales with over 500 reviews and 100% feedback score through eBay. I now have to earn my customers trust with the new biz. And I also need to let go of that reminder. This new biz is fresh and exciting and all of ME and my creations. Hard ass work since July of this year when it finally occurred to me that instead of simply creating and posting art and hoping for the best I should absolutely monetize it!</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">I love creating new products! I just started offering pet portrait commissions. The traditional canvas portraits are just getting started as well. Look for these and many new product listings coming as quick as a bunny!!!</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">I am actually feeling like I may be on to something big here. 2023 will be chock full of ideas and creations. Bring on the hard work cuz I’m ready for it. </div><p></p>Kim Widmarkhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/04195311045319572224noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4892328741738253647.post-63160717739287249332022-11-16T04:58:00.001-08:002022-11-16T05:03:27.389-08:00Done is better than perfect<p> </p><table align="center" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" class="tr-caption-container" style="margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto;"><tbody><tr><td style="text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhAISMh1cEEya5Zx-2oAaQh5hXWHe9gSmUV7T2fyVPoMeJMcE7_PFLGgA_H-ADSH8mwrQi2i2Wg5yNzSBENHfTn8Ags-ch7zZylHhCKIqcf5i1eV3ZkY5YejNgHLQJZ3XB-MfQZleNh3hFcQ0apLInlcXaBqNYpcmDoDBekFoVUkpbJCvPx3MKUkenI/s4200/TOVIPhotoArtPrint.jpg" style="margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto;"><img border="0" data-original-height="3300" data-original-width="4200" height="314" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhAISMh1cEEya5Zx-2oAaQh5hXWHe9gSmUV7T2fyVPoMeJMcE7_PFLGgA_H-ADSH8mwrQi2i2Wg5yNzSBENHfTn8Ags-ch7zZylHhCKIqcf5i1eV3ZkY5YejNgHLQJZ3XB-MfQZleNh3hFcQ0apLInlcXaBqNYpcmDoDBekFoVUkpbJCvPx3MKUkenI/w400-h314/TOVIPhotoArtPrint.jpg" width="400" /></a></td></tr><tr><td class="tr-caption" style="text-align: center;">Final print ready design of TOVI!</td></tr></tbody></table><br /><p></p><table align="center" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" class="tr-caption-container" style="margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto;"><tbody><tr><td style="text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhjTxQydQ3BklRJiyEoiDHWB9YR5yIXRe2J9Q_OdiQp0ybG_x44OKzxLm_chCSV9qiyOhoGnWIvz2KsvMkVHImJoLJjkwX-yRQLSxaNlIB0mZzB1GQj71OkNsl1t2pguFt5jh5jXGYdQwbGiqy8irhQ3J2CCqWuJJxqwx1ZbVqH2axaGJ4EOxtYYMR4/s480/2569D7C9-600C-4972-A541-CB64141E59CA.jpeg" style="margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto;"><img border="0" data-original-height="360" data-original-width="480" height="300" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhjTxQydQ3BklRJiyEoiDHWB9YR5yIXRe2J9Q_OdiQp0ybG_x44OKzxLm_chCSV9qiyOhoGnWIvz2KsvMkVHImJoLJjkwX-yRQLSxaNlIB0mZzB1GQj71OkNsl1t2pguFt5jh5jXGYdQwbGiqy8irhQ3J2CCqWuJJxqwx1ZbVqH2axaGJ4EOxtYYMR4/w400-h300/2569D7C9-600C-4972-A541-CB64141E59CA.jpeg" width="400" /></a></td></tr><tr><td class="tr-caption" style="text-align: center;">Sweet TOVI fur this picture works well!</td></tr></tbody></table><br /><table align="center" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" class="tr-caption-container" style="margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto;"><tbody><tr><td style="text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhfMuC95krKFigcddSO2gpOLSooRRvOIXd9MFzI2xLvgbbsk4K5ZFA9iD1ym9AQurLmQXR8nsqDTyX32G2xtsnfluvgOxBfU1E9v2TfZ_vu16aiFx3mpqW3Cou1Vh-LlDIdWbyF0lXUYTHlEgz3Zc4pqGuOzzCVDQUrzUOHzXsxmCh86slGlFJH5rQ3/s4032/1942C302-DC77-42C0-A6C4-118DA5258C12.jpeg" style="margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto;"><img border="0" data-original-height="4032" data-original-width="3024" height="400" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhfMuC95krKFigcddSO2gpOLSooRRvOIXd9MFzI2xLvgbbsk4K5ZFA9iD1ym9AQurLmQXR8nsqDTyX32G2xtsnfluvgOxBfU1E9v2TfZ_vu16aiFx3mpqW3Cou1Vh-LlDIdWbyF0lXUYTHlEgz3Zc4pqGuOzzCVDQUrzUOHzXsxmCh86slGlFJH5rQ3/w300-h400/1942C302-DC77-42C0-A6C4-118DA5258C12.jpeg" width="300" /></a></td></tr><tr><td class="tr-caption" style="text-align: center;">Creating in photoshop but procreate is faster!</td></tr></tbody></table><br /><table align="center" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" class="tr-caption-container" style="margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto;"><tbody><tr><td style="text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEg86dEkfSAhnZAJ6YMNxnc_MfiVDjfulhWmI7zAu9JymFzdOGHvo8mzTRkNdtoPEer5s6Hz_8VsKns15tV3mLxumNQdyQiBR8pCbuLH5R6S7cEocDa0_jfoYBeZnVQxWLPbgoRDotgsAqgKSjR4wIWxH9nE6D0l3mlmMip-EABdPL-od0dEZ5rhIZXv/s480/0FE105B9-EFC6-47FD-BCE9-F0BDC1DB53B9.jpeg" style="margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto;"><img border="0" data-original-height="480" data-original-width="360" height="400" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEg86dEkfSAhnZAJ6YMNxnc_MfiVDjfulhWmI7zAu9JymFzdOGHvo8mzTRkNdtoPEer5s6Hz_8VsKns15tV3mLxumNQdyQiBR8pCbuLH5R6S7cEocDa0_jfoYBeZnVQxWLPbgoRDotgsAqgKSjR4wIWxH9nE6D0l3mlmMip-EABdPL-od0dEZ5rhIZXv/w300-h400/0FE105B9-EFC6-47FD-BCE9-F0BDC1DB53B9.jpeg" width="300" /></a></td></tr><tr><td class="tr-caption" style="text-align: center;">TOVI phone pic super low res file but DOABLE!</td></tr></tbody></table><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">Currently designing some personalized and custom wall art. This guy is an example of a unique pet grief gift that I will be offering in my Etsy shop! After purchase you will email me 3-5 of your favorite pet photos. In 1-5 days you will receive a personalized pet name photo art in size 8x10”and 11x14”. Downloadable and print ready for you to frame for your wall or desk! This is very affordable and unique and I am realizing that the more designs I am creating the more I am seeing why I do what I do. From pet photography to pet paintings to simple and unique pet gifts. It’s grief. It’s forever living inside of me and this is truly how I learn to live with it while creating animal art. If you experience real trauma at an early age (10 y/o) and then once again earth shattering and life changing at age 35. You must learn to live with this grief. And creating art has been my thing. So here it goes. Pushing the art to the next game changing level. Every day I’m hustling. Because I have to to live. Done is better than perfect!</div><br />Kim Widmarkhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/04195311045319572224noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4892328741738253647.post-37552119151430361452022-10-17T13:30:00.007-07:002022-10-17T13:49:05.078-07:00October my favorite month to stay organized!<p></p><table align="center" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" class="tr-caption-container" style="margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto;"><tbody><tr><td style="text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiEqCG0KvZatY-ZDZX1dmFBnL0uLL8rzs1kCr1w_MQHOClOXmuZpEhsHtGjIW-pmek6EK420O5r2sCohl89LG_W_p8k4b7GR7tL6kVHX420W-aDsJ0QaBiKTWuesvI_C8KDSdK_9N7M81m1Dm-JW6tskjWt7D_n7djUjiiZP0D7wR-jXpoR_Jl2YQtA/s3460/9AEF01E0-520E-4469-BF56-AC2262D139D5.jpeg" style="margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto;"><img border="0" data-original-height="3460" data-original-width="2595" height="640" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiEqCG0KvZatY-ZDZX1dmFBnL0uLL8rzs1kCr1w_MQHOClOXmuZpEhsHtGjIW-pmek6EK420O5r2sCohl89LG_W_p8k4b7GR7tL6kVHX420W-aDsJ0QaBiKTWuesvI_C8KDSdK_9N7M81m1Dm-JW6tskjWt7D_n7djUjiiZP0D7wR-jXpoR_Jl2YQtA/w480-h640/9AEF01E0-520E-4469-BF56-AC2262D139D5.jpeg" width="480" /></a></td></tr><tr><td class="tr-caption" style="text-align: center;">Razzy enjoys her favorite lookout spot!</td></tr></tbody></table><br /><table align="center" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" class="tr-caption-container" style="margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto;"><tbody><tr><td style="text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiqKqH_vLXmzTnTCtHlAEzA8TD-37_dJWd4CDdQB3PATAxXnVPDtrRFrZR9Ss54fb2-LKqY19Zzzb1ouFqRnea3cd_m42iUodr1iw9dxDGRri2k91AfP-TNoM8uxTWEf3_ExZg9GheVYvjdI5qrcyEkG2VwYfgjVTOJh9qc7OgJIsL09_Snod2KHDGm/s3710/D9596CDD-03DC-40DF-8A33-5DDEB3023432.jpeg" style="margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto;"><img border="0" data-original-height="3710" data-original-width="2782" height="640" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiqKqH_vLXmzTnTCtHlAEzA8TD-37_dJWd4CDdQB3PATAxXnVPDtrRFrZR9Ss54fb2-LKqY19Zzzb1ouFqRnea3cd_m42iUodr1iw9dxDGRri2k91AfP-TNoM8uxTWEf3_ExZg9GheVYvjdI5qrcyEkG2VwYfgjVTOJh9qc7OgJIsL09_Snod2KHDGm/w480-h640/D9596CDD-03DC-40DF-8A33-5DDEB3023432.jpeg" width="480" /></a></td></tr><tr><td class="tr-caption" style="text-align: center;">Ten Marilyn’s by Warhol is up on display for an 80’s look-Dougie approves!</td></tr></tbody></table><br /><p></p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"></div><table align="center" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" class="tr-caption-container" style="margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto;"><tbody><tr><td style="text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiTNakR50ivYmMMUtVON28QQw0V1twj4kf1kkSxz3Wjv5J4HuCasGUQK09__zxY0cGPXcI2vECbMcPh3eI8hlPVMWwUFov4lElBSOMv2OfPtoAjDDb6E5pafPi_WIK2Rcq7hYVKUkeVaMlLRv98JW0wMW2M7cGCl4IheZuSTRQCe-LUK24X9tE2gdsg/s3461/EC01626D-A3ED-4F8E-8B1A-BA1DCAF72AF1.jpeg" style="margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto;"><img border="0" data-original-height="2596" data-original-width="3461" height="480" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiTNakR50ivYmMMUtVON28QQw0V1twj4kf1kkSxz3Wjv5J4HuCasGUQK09__zxY0cGPXcI2vECbMcPh3eI8hlPVMWwUFov4lElBSOMv2OfPtoAjDDb6E5pafPi_WIK2Rcq7hYVKUkeVaMlLRv98JW0wMW2M7cGCl4IheZuSTRQCe-LUK24X9tE2gdsg/w640-h480/EC01626D-A3ED-4F8E-8B1A-BA1DCAF72AF1.jpeg" width="640" /></a></td></tr><tr><td class="tr-caption" style="text-align: center;">The workspace is more organized for intense focus!</td></tr></tbody></table><br /> <table align="center" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" class="tr-caption-container" style="margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto;"><tbody><tr><td style="text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhMvp-29S9lUfjwHVI-EyBWjdgwY_ukCIQYquI7Y83N_hQBJb0fZwesXdy21Dl7Jn0rmkTcvOmEB-CN3bhVSLmsFAK0Zv9cq-TvsEyzlMqqy3yua-fZbrwygxse9TS4TFT5jFofphM5tRFp_-YUctkRCAVkIz5LmZ_RssGIzw5k_oQ7_yzfVYOtcgTi/s2964/8606E09E-1A76-4427-BB5F-C63C528926A9.jpeg" style="margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto;"><img border="0" data-original-height="2964" data-original-width="2117" height="640" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhMvp-29S9lUfjwHVI-EyBWjdgwY_ukCIQYquI7Y83N_hQBJb0fZwesXdy21Dl7Jn0rmkTcvOmEB-CN3bhVSLmsFAK0Zv9cq-TvsEyzlMqqy3yua-fZbrwygxse9TS4TFT5jFofphM5tRFp_-YUctkRCAVkIz5LmZ_RssGIzw5k_oQ7_yzfVYOtcgTi/w458-h640/8606E09E-1A76-4427-BB5F-C63C528926A9.jpeg" width="458" /></a></td></tr><tr><td class="tr-caption" style="text-align: center;">Leia completes the look and mood for this month!</td></tr></tbody></table>This month has pushed me to organize not only my physical life but my future art project has forced me to create products and give each and every one plus it’s variation a home as to never lose them on my computer. The peeking panda art series has made me rethink the digital art world and how simply by staying organized and focused I can then truly create something from nothing and plop it in my <a href="https://www.etsy.com/shop/Puppycatandmouse" target="_blank">Etsy shop</a> to sell! My goal is to have a fully stocked shop (100+ products-which is sooooo doable) including not only a ton of digital art prints and calendars, print on demand products, stickers plus commissions as well! October is chilly and I love the fall foliage and brrrrish feels in the morning.

I had a look at my work and was adding wildlife art along with the pet art. YouTube has taught me wonders. Since then it’s been quite a learning experience. The entire process for setting up a shop that sells digital downloads via etsy is a monumental task that does require not only creative art skills but also a technical skill. Did I mention business skills? Selecting the proper art pieces that actually look aesthetically appealing to a buyer is tricky. Relearning final file, templates and print size in photoshop as well as seo meta description and key words is something to memorize. What many people call passive income takes an enormous amount of solid and intense prep work. I am willing to do my due diligence because the the end result IS passive income. Above are the <a href="https://creativemarket.com/Octopus_Vibes" target="_blank">Mockup </a> designs that were purchased for commercial use so I have a license to use for my shop. They are absolutely lovely in my humble opinion!!! Modern and fresh interior design to display the fanciful and fun modern animal prints! I will have 15 peeking panda and pet prints available to purchase and download to your computer so you have the option to print from home or local print shop such as Walgreens-most affordable and good quality or a online professional high end shop such as finerworks. The largest print size is either a 20x20” or 16x20” or 12x18” depending on the frame you have. This is series one. New designs will be added as fast as a bunny!<p></p><div>Buy art because surrounding yourself with beauty is essential for life!</div>Kim Widmarkhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/04195311045319572224noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4892328741738253647.post-16889095594709813742022-07-18T06:45:00.007-07:002022-07-18T13:30:51.521-07:00Affordable and enjoyable printables!<p> </p><table align="center" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" class="tr-caption-container" style="margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto;"><tbody><tr><td style="text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhgZVbYwzsgIWZN2hifmvOTvsg6t0QD_Bwf4-GmGL1c-LzjoYOZ3QAQo-OENm13tis2f-iad11ySXct-F94eim6VsXmxIPcgEJCebWNAUE_S3J_IECUMi8EV3CLmtqsW7NRMf1bz8fWSHjAII2utrwhJsrLiKAmmYEuMOYaNNPckLSuWTxWj1kuiLCD/s2000/E4CBFEE3-1DD6-41EF-A136-47E10DF4B571.png" style="margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto;"><img border="0" data-original-height="2000" data-original-width="1545" height="640" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhgZVbYwzsgIWZN2hifmvOTvsg6t0QD_Bwf4-GmGL1c-LzjoYOZ3QAQo-OENm13tis2f-iad11ySXct-F94eim6VsXmxIPcgEJCebWNAUE_S3J_IECUMi8EV3CLmtqsW7NRMf1bz8fWSHjAII2utrwhJsrLiKAmmYEuMOYaNNPckLSuWTxWj1kuiLCD/w494-h640/E4CBFEE3-1DD6-41EF-A136-47E10DF4B571.png" width="494" /></a></td></tr><tr><td class="tr-caption" style="text-align: center;">The scandi Norwegian version soon to be available for purchase in A4 size-plenty of pet options for this!<br /><br /><br /></td></tr></tbody></table><br /><table align="center" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" class="tr-caption-container" style="margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto;"><tbody><tr><td style="text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEix9jHldu3cTpmEqVGKOm7QYJLzBjZrko7CvfyhmJFaITO2BZYUnwguHM9rsXnmaYd9cJCfRtQGGCCa9Dsv1FDVxBC0BCC8k-IlhXe4LREGXKRhc1s7qRSJgifGqoIhAx2LqgS8QkKi_waV3UD-HA9f8eYzG_hgO-7f--GljqEnuNimvD3l7jNs6FXz/s3000/2E378261-C4D0-42B9-965A-89162191A687.png" style="margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto;"><img border="0" data-original-height="3000" data-original-width="3000" height="640" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEix9jHldu3cTpmEqVGKOm7QYJLzBjZrko7CvfyhmJFaITO2BZYUnwguHM9rsXnmaYd9cJCfRtQGGCCa9Dsv1FDVxBC0BCC8k-IlhXe4LREGXKRhc1s7qRSJgifGqoIhAx2LqgS8QkKi_waV3UD-HA9f8eYzG_hgO-7f--GljqEnuNimvD3l7jNs6FXz/w640-h640/2E378261-C4D0-42B9-965A-89162191A687.png" width="640" /></a></td></tr><tr><td class="tr-caption" style="text-align: center;">Pet printables series one size 11x14” available soon-series two will have size 16x20” as the largest printable size!<br /><br /><br /></td></tr></tbody></table>Making the step towards monetizing my art. I’ve been a pet photographer for years and transitioned to becoming a pet painter only 4 years into this and all the time I’ve been learning and taking my art to different levels such as traditional painting, YouTube channel, and Instagram Doggust challenges twice! It has occurred to me to maybe start monetizing my art but I was stuck for so long and never quite ready. I’ve spent a great deal of hours upon hours of learning my craft and style that I chose not to let the cute and fun art to go to waste. Painting each and every pet is a lengthy process. It’s a labor of love indeed. There is always the plan,subject,goal and then completing the final piece feeling pressure and doubt and so on for hours. Posting a piece on Instagram is good for the gallery. But it sinks to the bottom of the Instagram scroll pool. Stuck there in the digital world. Where it could possibly disappear forever. Idk how to explain properly but Instagram is a great instant gratification/dopamine hit for a moment. The gallery is neat and useful. But all the hours spent creating something from nothing needs to mean something more than a 2 second peek at a cute and unique piece of art. And that’s where Etsy wins. <p></p><p>Printables. Digital downloads. Instant. Affordable. Art for the everyday person. I like to say pet prints are budget focused with an eye for maximum enjoyment. It’s a place to make a difference in your art. Selling you art online. Like not selling on eBay which is expensive(fees!)but super duper easy-I’ve been selling there for over ten years-or even the POD-print on demand-zazzle and red bubble which eats MOST of your royalty profits- And not yet selling from your actual website (I plan to sooooon!)which can be difficult and lengthy at first. It’s in between. Sure there are fees. But not for digital downloads. So that’s a win. I do realize that. I’m ok with that. I’ll manage.</p><p>Pet photography brought plenty of joy but pet painting brings a whole different layer of art satisfaction!</p><p>I’m going to start with my original and unique pop up pet planners first. Then pet printables. And eventually offer custom pet portraits. So it’s a good mix of graphic design. Art prints. And original art. </p><p>I’m following these steps I learned from a YouTuber and that is: improve on an existing product. Create something new.

My very first post was June 5 2009. As you can see through the years the art came in waves. From starting small with happy snaps and going to college for painting digitally with Painter X and photoshop to running and operating a part time pet photography biz-to currently obsessing about Procreate and it's level of painting sophistication. Besides showing off this photo of my dog from back then-I don't have much to add other than I'm busy with daily painting mostly digital using procreate but also teaching myself to be more disciplined with traditional art. Finishing off this post with a favorite quote by Vincent Van Gogh: <div>If you hear a voice within you say: Do not paint. Then by all means, PAINT! And that voice will be silenced. </div><div><br /></div><div><br /></div><table align="center" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" class="tr-caption-container" style="margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto;"><tbody><tr><td style="text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjZJklJZaQdU4HhhT8mJiWQ6Ns180VTeV1hG16X6csD_1aIY0xDwLF1rGSFp5-Xwc9RoZy8CZJJj2AHO2XN-so4zzuh77xYkGUq6CP66e65Aupi1JJd06GUzSMATZJ-UFxwmRY25RoPaZ77r60h3cOfShei6d3ACOhGkE7GXxvKjtpSg4mCmdfIQcJ9/s5000/IMG_1365.jpg" style="margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto;"><img border="0" data-original-height="5000" data-original-width="5000" height="640" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjZJklJZaQdU4HhhT8mJiWQ6Ns180VTeV1hG16X6csD_1aIY0xDwLF1rGSFp5-Xwc9RoZy8CZJJj2AHO2XN-so4zzuh77xYkGUq6CP66e65Aupi1JJd06GUzSMATZJ-UFxwmRY25RoPaZ77r60h3cOfShei6d3ACOhGkE7GXxvKjtpSg4mCmdfIQcJ9/w640-h640/IMG_1365.jpg" width="640" /></a></td></tr><tr><td class="tr-caption" style="text-align: center;">Mountain Lion Cub 2022</td></tr></tbody></table><br /><div><br /><p></p><p><br /></p></div>Kim Widmarkhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/04195311045319572224noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4892328741738253647.post-27524076800654453122022-05-29T09:42:00.003-07:002022-05-29T09:42:55.984-07:00Wildlife series in progress!<p><table align="center" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" class="tr-caption-container" style="margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto;"><tbody><tr><td style="text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjDqm_gJuhGh2iP2D0SnlOmhok9nXa-KsfDCajPbwOvb-7l8buLfs9bSES2WCZL_gukPVsw8CgqQdrAradEVaxbeDyMe38r-Vqj9ixubpy7e2cLA4qxHE7_cvX2cdKhLj553rfMpk8I6es5vcHqh1fx92x8YxNPq5lYs0-YATVgWNYyK9aQtBCz0f-0/s5000/Tasmania005.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto;"><img border="0" data-original-height="5000" data-original-width="5000" height="640" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjDqm_gJuhGh2iP2D0SnlOmhok9nXa-KsfDCajPbwOvb-7l8buLfs9bSES2WCZL_gukPVsw8CgqQdrAradEVaxbeDyMe38r-Vqj9ixubpy7e2cLA4qxHE7_cvX2cdKhLj553rfMpk8I6es5vcHqh1fx92x8YxNPq5lYs0-YATVgWNYyK9aQtBCz0f-0/w640-h640/Tasmania005.jpg" width="640" /></a></td></tr><tr><td class="tr-caption" style="text-align: center;">Tasmanian Devil Soft Pastels & Charcoal Block</td></tr></tbody></table><br /> Starting off the wildlife series with a slightly melancholy Tazzie. They tend to fight a lot but this shy guy is a newbie and seems just unsure yet. Obsessed with soft/oil pastel and and charcoal block for depth and texture-also the big eyes are here to stay as I am super absolutely inspired by Margaret Keane's art. The animals need some depth and mood and intensity because all wild animals have to fight for their life every single day. Plan is to draw every day while working my way up to the top wildlife animals to draw/paint-such as the one and only most spectacular -- elephants. Joy! Committed to this journey toward becoming a full time animal artist very soon. </p><p><br /></p>Kim Widmarkhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/04195311045319572224noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4892328741738253647.post-47782243966981022872022-04-30T20:02:00.004-07:002022-04-30T20:02:37.275-07:00Improving an old piece<p><table align="center" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" class="tr-caption-container" style="margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto;"><tbody><tr><td style="text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjQLDdR-Jx2Ad0ouwoUfVoe6zYTC2NtVYT1UmwiQRFoknBUz05CsnKw9wy0cc6xuyh4lub4egsGtN9lV3k4P6IRU2LA0gVl9WayfEo-aDBnVVlFK9ySCmfdP6GRN8KBCaR1IheLyef75wnWC6AsCrEnv3vJkMuUbng7yrbS8l1HZSZoV8Ioyx9J-xAj/s5000/161FDA1D-D2A2-4EDA-8439-DA035237C8E8.jpeg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto;"><img border="0" data-original-height="5000" data-original-width="5000" height="640" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjQLDdR-Jx2Ad0ouwoUfVoe6zYTC2NtVYT1UmwiQRFoknBUz05CsnKw9wy0cc6xuyh4lub4egsGtN9lV3k4P6IRU2LA0gVl9WayfEo-aDBnVVlFK9ySCmfdP6GRN8KBCaR1IheLyef75wnWC6AsCrEnv3vJkMuUbng7yrbS8l1HZSZoV8Ioyx9J-xAj/w640-h640/161FDA1D-D2A2-4EDA-8439-DA035237C8E8.jpeg" width="640" /></a></td></tr><tr><td class="tr-caption" style="text-align: center;">Number 2 - FINAL - It is deeply satisfying to improve and shift your mind set the second time around </td></tr></tbody></table><br /> <table align="center" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" class="tr-caption-container" style="margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto;"><tbody><tr><td style="text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgfIv6QAehjyCGqltPSVSbC_85X6RqYDRFuMtYbssSS5ASxDOaORMPqOJ3sjMKGHNFl8v-SEujjnqm8tcuCVvWdsPiFXB3leC5YZl3uecSoYO1MdpXznWJPxe57Ge1LMyD9rFhLy4Mhm88vrQQxOxVx1psvP8r6-iO0TAJDj8hnpAhUI5orx_jyRXdo/s5000/E123B91A-3166-4E86-8177-4AB43B56A164.jpeg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto;"><img border="0" data-original-height="5000" data-original-width="5000" height="400" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgfIv6QAehjyCGqltPSVSbC_85X6RqYDRFuMtYbssSS5ASxDOaORMPqOJ3sjMKGHNFl8v-SEujjnqm8tcuCVvWdsPiFXB3leC5YZl3uecSoYO1MdpXznWJPxe57Ge1LMyD9rFhLy4Mhm88vrQQxOxVx1psvP8r6-iO0TAJDj8hnpAhUI5orx_jyRXdo/w400-h400/E123B91A-3166-4E86-8177-4AB43B56A164.jpeg" width="400" /></a></td></tr><tr><td class="tr-caption" style="text-align: center;">Number 1- Pekka has sort of a monkey vibe about him</td></tr></tbody></table></p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br /></div><table align="center" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" class="tr-caption-container" style="margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto;"><tbody><tr><td style="text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEi2Nb2EqHMyU7_dfu9sznPe861jGwO8yG21wL8eDN5Qg4yVOhnC4GHwVmfUVRcKYJYM-iM2IhyfqdqZxaw-QyTApA4vMwEeWWignNvXchgQOnquWybUY13xRbpcjht4YJhXnvmIgJzB-Q6rpkUu2L9d7AhfR0LQra1Kk3AJM4JF1ppa779WzOPwi1pu/s4032/98CBBA8F-B53F-4DAD-B02A-BC11C6A47A43.jpeg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto;"><img border="0" data-original-height="4032" data-original-width="3024" height="320" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEi2Nb2EqHMyU7_dfu9sznPe861jGwO8yG21wL8eDN5Qg4yVOhnC4GHwVmfUVRcKYJYM-iM2IhyfqdqZxaw-QyTApA4vMwEeWWignNvXchgQOnquWybUY13xRbpcjht4YJhXnvmIgJzB-Q6rpkUu2L9d7AhfR0LQra1Kk3AJM4JF1ppa779WzOPwi1pu/w240-h320/98CBBA8F-B53F-4DAD-B02A-BC11C6A47A43.jpeg" width="240" /></a></td></tr><tr><td class="tr-caption" style="text-align: center;">The real Pekka the pug</td></tr></tbody></table><br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br /></div>I overworked Pekka portrait painting number 1 and was NOT satisfied with the end results.

Procreate is the most intuitive and sophisticated drawing program on the planet and I never imagined I would be able to create drawings of critters and cuteness digitally. This baby bighorn was an attempt in April 2019 and I’ve been hooked since then. My plan is to keep honing my dog and cat drawing skills everyday with a bit of wild forest critters then graduating to even wilder animals. I have a fox painting that’s in the works-traditional acrylic on canvas-poor guy has been pushed to the wayside but I will pick up my brushes very soon to complete. In the meantime I look at this sheep and am pretty proud of what I was able to accomplish with the minimal training drawing on a tablet. I love it so much. One day I’ll trade in for a 13” which would be mind blowing when I get there. Bigger is better when drawing and painting. (Soon I’ll paint on 20x20 or 30x30 canvases) big art is my dream project…..<br /> <p></p>Kim Widmarkhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/04195311045319572224noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4892328741738253647.post-14908496266325146352022-02-27T15:25:00.004-08:002022-02-27T15:54:55.493-08:00Only Cute Art work in progress<p></p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/a/AVvXsEjGFoQagl_3r53KrnzOnaGRSIvSbeqQagyQXZgWhNmCbMJQX2ZFkflBkR6VCBLFzDsYYjU-f-U5IrMj7qV8uQTGeraRuH5NPbYgk_G2fQlMPzVBSU9m12eFxGFeHe4FT7E_tBzIWmvxFNG-KBuf0jsYD6H4JMPIVsN5ANA5iZoNvGsC5TLPobcBPFsr=s1569" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="966" data-original-width="1569" height="394" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/a/AVvXsEjGFoQagl_3r53KrnzOnaGRSIvSbeqQagyQXZgWhNmCbMJQX2ZFkflBkR6VCBLFzDsYYjU-f-U5IrMj7qV8uQTGeraRuH5NPbYgk_G2fQlMPzVBSU9m12eFxGFeHe4FT7E_tBzIWmvxFNG-KBuf0jsYD6H4JMPIVsN5ANA5iZoNvGsC5TLPobcBPFsr=w640-h394" width="640" /></a></div><br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/a/AVvXsEhn_vg3OGOowyuSJ38-sWZ6xBOIxd6CUAy2NGciqEEj3YD65izXt-4tI5TVgOTN0wulCxy7sX84HuHJIIkTSx-1-4GJXmt0Xiu_blX5oJTk_SUF-gMbdKZmwHNv33kRMXnQOaoXxuQ_CuWKDtLT1Kml-Pu8jcYfF523GvZLuCHD-omhlO54DYG8RP2p=s3000" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="3000" data-original-width="3000" height="640" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/a/AVvXsEhn_vg3OGOowyuSJ38-sWZ6xBOIxd6CUAy2NGciqEEj3YD65izXt-4tI5TVgOTN0wulCxy7sX84HuHJIIkTSx-1-4GJXmt0Xiu_blX5oJTk_SUF-gMbdKZmwHNv33kRMXnQOaoXxuQ_CuWKDtLT1Kml-Pu8jcYfF523GvZLuCHD-omhlO54DYG8RP2p=w640-h640" width="640" /></a></div><br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/a/AVvXsEiroA-VEr_VtA5_Qb1lZvTU7YvdzuSGCjdCxq5Kv_pBUkt8I9HSsoh6C3ThtkzcN-ClZv3WcXmlZatn3INq_ZTZuWB2yfjwuhf0K9eAvcJRlj1SssXkuwilpwHdcPUaJdLuQO6R2_7Ta0toY77k63H7-LT-bnBGOTQpMHM0HoXcBAPy55ktj5vCQ8eS=s3000" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="3000" data-original-width="3000" height="640" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/a/AVvXsEiroA-VEr_VtA5_Qb1lZvTU7YvdzuSGCjdCxq5Kv_pBUkt8I9HSsoh6C3ThtkzcN-ClZv3WcXmlZatn3INq_ZTZuWB2yfjwuhf0K9eAvcJRlj1SssXkuwilpwHdcPUaJdLuQO6R2_7Ta0toY77k63H7-LT-bnBGOTQpMHM0HoXcBAPy55ktj5vCQ8eS=w640-h640" width="640" /></a></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br /></div><br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/a/AVvXsEitIgdjIyVSN-vfNNTjEXl6tCVspPw5NxQCdDEBfQp5bcyWQgMTNqGSdmh8ndE8wFrbnPH8wgxzMppTsz_0KAjgm9woe7WRcA7tcZtqG5Tek1kvYURktO5j79Gf6LTeMNTH5xGF17YI_aIepq1ogC6TK-sKWpmvl67UFQvR0uJM4idfbD4GqZUvDTao=s3000" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="3000" data-original-width="3000" height="640" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/a/AVvXsEitIgdjIyVSN-vfNNTjEXl6tCVspPw5NxQCdDEBfQp5bcyWQgMTNqGSdmh8ndE8wFrbnPH8wgxzMppTsz_0KAjgm9woe7WRcA7tcZtqG5Tek1kvYURktO5j79Gf6LTeMNTH5xGF17YI_aIepq1ogC6TK-sKWpmvl67UFQvR0uJM4idfbD4GqZUvDTao=w640-h640" width="640" /></a></div><br /> These are the the cuties I plan to use in a series of nursery art/modern pet art for display in nurseries, kids rooms and the like. The whole process of this is definitely consuming my valuable time. Working on these forces me away from current world events which are indeed beyond my control. I only want to create cute and small things. Since I was a small child growing up in the states, my first favorite book that has inspired me and brought pure joy and safe cozy feelings is a book by <a href="https://www.newyorker.com/books/page-turner/how-gyo-fujikawa-drew-freedom-in-childrens-books" target="_blank">Gyo Fujikawas</a> Baby Animals,1963. 1980’s baby animal stickers and Hello Kitty toys at It’s A Small World at the westroads mall was my LIFE!<div> Ultimately to make this art sellable as digital downloads available to the proper target audience. Which does not make them limited art-I’m ok with that-custom commissions is possible although the lengthy process of a final print from digital drawing/painting worries me simply because of the print output would be inconsistent. I’m focusing on traditional painting of commissions. That way I can really take the painting process a step further from semi realistic to abstract modern. Which is my ultimate goal. Currently I’m completing a 30x40” acrylic/mixed media-trusting the lengthy process that it is and all of the important steps that need be taken throughout the creative painting process. <div><p></p><p>Above image of a nursery snapshot I copied and placed my image within the room. These sophisticated wall guides are from <a href="https://www.arianafalerni.com/design/products/bohemian-modern/" target="_blank">Ariana Falerni</a>. I purchased the couch set years ago and added some final images on display on my up to date website-today I wanted to play more but since I’m working on a newer computer I’ve lost the downloads and just have to make a purchase of the new and improved newborn/kids room templates-it’s superior wall guides that work flawlessly with photoshop. This is my goal for 2022. I only want to make cute stuff. That’s all. </p></div></div>Kim Widmarkhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/04195311045319572224noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4892328741738253647.post-91044556157714562182022-01-23T07:23:00.003-08:002022-01-23T15:30:52.523-08:00Believing in a greater purpose <p></p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br /></div><table align="center" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" class="tr-caption-container" style="margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto;"><tbody><tr><td style="text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/a/AVvXsEj-hG2sm68VN85l-On4xfnYg2WjEzCT50sQUblDGXLeIgEbXDKuqj8A2U3SuM3NknVYm8d3A7ttIOF3F5CvjMt3kaHztI_Td-HJNvCi5aPd54F1gtbWfAzVlNvSK1FSZbuR2sWAiGALZ98GNG2hqMbldoBQjzqL-4wAHewi49yhkbtWC2m4f4KdthWS=s1112" style="margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto;"><img border="0" data-original-height="1112" data-original-width="954" height="400" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/a/AVvXsEj-hG2sm68VN85l-On4xfnYg2WjEzCT50sQUblDGXLeIgEbXDKuqj8A2U3SuM3NknVYm8d3A7ttIOF3F5CvjMt3kaHztI_Td-HJNvCi5aPd54F1gtbWfAzVlNvSK1FSZbuR2sWAiGALZ98GNG2hqMbldoBQjzqL-4wAHewi49yhkbtWC2m4f4KdthWS=w344-h400" width="344" /></a></td></tr><tr><td class="tr-caption" style="text-align: center;">One of the many important quotes I love from Martin Luther King Jr.!</td></tr></tbody></table><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br /></div><br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"></div><table align="center" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" class="tr-caption-container" style="margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto;"><tbody><tr><td style="text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/a/AVvXsEhh3YS_uazr3ms2f2zFOp2VAAyfSiKXGq60Hr_53DTwJn6Dz9igvvRw6GzNGW4g57J7HKff-pblYWTEVB0if4OkLmTOuSxOXfRJ4xm77LjHmVE_CdhYG707oN3v9yaClRtnL-ct5dKX8EUKTfbmKYwZMGcmVk0AhHuLzQXxmmzjuzwt_vxC-zQYvmTc=s4200" style="margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto;"><img border="0" data-original-height="4200" data-original-width="3300" height="400" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/a/AVvXsEhh3YS_uazr3ms2f2zFOp2VAAyfSiKXGq60Hr_53DTwJn6Dz9igvvRw6GzNGW4g57J7HKff-pblYWTEVB0if4OkLmTOuSxOXfRJ4xm77LjHmVE_CdhYG707oN3v9yaClRtnL-ct5dKX8EUKTfbmKYwZMGcmVk0AhHuLzQXxmmzjuzwt_vxC-zQYvmTc=w314-h400" width="314" /></a></td></tr><tr><td class="tr-caption" style="text-align: center;">The inspiration and reason I wake up every day!</td></tr></tbody></table><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br /></div><table align="center" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" class="tr-caption-container" style="margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto;"><tbody><tr><td style="text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/a/AVvXsEg1m-bdu_HBeJF-kb5LhpXgo6JFik7-hgRFJLgJERokE54-eL55PglJ3m4yyjJdaMJuZkJrQm9fjUYphjX93MeHbijtttttaKYH83A3-8aeBPXt-kLGIB20sORapK96Q_W2oY5wcLm7sedBn4OQ-j3IwTs1JUI8VxWc6-EEI2-T2qteX7n9tuSIWFpH=s4032" style="margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto;"><img border="0" data-original-height="4032" data-original-width="3024" height="400" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/a/AVvXsEg1m-bdu_HBeJF-kb5LhpXgo6JFik7-hgRFJLgJERokE54-eL55PglJ3m4yyjJdaMJuZkJrQm9fjUYphjX93MeHbijtttttaKYH83A3-8aeBPXt-kLGIB20sORapK96Q_W2oY5wcLm7sedBn4OQ-j3IwTs1JUI8VxWc6-EEI2-T2qteX7n9tuSIWFpH=w300-h400" width="300" /></a></td></tr><tr><td class="tr-caption" style="text-align: center;">Highly nutritious for 3$ at ALDI-not organic but close!</td></tr></tbody></table><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><span style="font-size: 38.2px; font-weight: bold; text-align: left;">It’s your moral responsibility to disobey unjust laws. </span></div><p class="p1" style="-webkit-text-size-adjust: auto; font-size: 38.2px; font-stretch: normal; line-height: normal; margin: 0px 0px 3px;"><span class="s1" style="font-size: 38.2px; font-weight: bold;">In the spirit of MLK day, I’d like to pause and dig deep in what matters most</span></p><p class="p2" style="-webkit-text-size-adjust: auto; font-size: 22.9px; font-stretch: normal; line-height: normal; margin: 0px;"><span class="s2" style="font-size: 22.92px;">This blog is absolutely not political in any shape or form. But this is a new year. A new beginning. And sometimes moments in our creative lives require reflection in order to keep our creative juices aware to function and why I do what I do and the freedoms that I have in America to be able to think and do what I do. </span></p><p class="p2" style="-webkit-text-size-adjust: auto; font-size: 22.9px; font-stretch: normal; line-height: normal; margin: 0px;"><span class="s2" style="font-size: 22.92px;">My top 3 things I do to keep myself sane, healthy and on track with my daily life. </span></p><p class="p3" style="-webkit-text-size-adjust: auto; font-size: 22.9px; font-stretch: normal; line-height: normal; margin: 0px; min-height: 27.3px;"><span class="s2" style="font-size: 22.92px;"></span><br /></p><p class="p2" style="-webkit-text-size-adjust: auto; font-size: 22.9px; font-stretch: normal; line-height: normal; margin: 0px;"><span class="s2" style="font-size: 22.92px;">1 diet, exercise and health in order to ‘stay safe’-this is what I drink every day: cold pressed juices including whole foods, minimal processed and fast food-(do not deprive yourself-you’ll go insane).</span></p><p class="p2" style="-webkit-text-size-adjust: auto; font-size: 22.9px; font-stretch: normal; line-height: normal; margin: 0px;"><span class="s2" style="font-size: 22.92px;">Dog walking, yoga and working in a warehouse environment keeps me fit and never sedentary!</span></p><p class="p2" style="-webkit-text-size-adjust: auto; font-size: 22.9px; font-stretch: normal; line-height: normal; margin: 0px;"><span class="s2" style="font-size: 22.92px;">2 open mindedness understanding and compassion-freedom to respect other peoples opinion. MLK looked at the world with compassion and understanding! Respecting other peoples opinions even if you disagree is how we are a democracy! Without it we are doomed. Government overreach has grown and taken us down a dangerous and dark path-being aware of this and always on your toes for multiple sources of information is crucial-independent media is the path of the future. </span></p><p class="p2" style="-webkit-text-size-adjust: auto; font-size: 22.9px; font-stretch: normal; line-height: normal; margin: 0px;"><span class="s2" style="font-size: 22.92px;">3 creating art is my therapy and the freedom to share and create whatever I chose -no censorship. Always learning new ways to create and new artist ideas and inspiration is what motivates me-the pets I live with bring my stress levels down and are also my inspiration-I could never function without a dog by my side. </span></p><p class="p2" style="-webkit-text-size-adjust: auto; font-size: 22.9px; font-stretch: normal; line-height: normal; margin: 0px;"><span class="s2" style="font-size: 22.92px;">I’m going to die one day and if I don’t hold to my convictions while I’m here on this beautiful blue earth-I serve no purpose. </span></p><p class="p2" style="-webkit-text-size-adjust: auto; font-size: 22.9px; font-stretch: normal; line-height: normal; margin: 0px;"><span class="s2" style="font-size: 22.92px;">This is my daily life. Only here for a short time-making the best of it-dig deep about those who are gone and no longer with us. It will gut you and force you to believe in yourself. </span></p>Kim Widmarkhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/04195311045319572224noreply@blogger.com0
