The abstract animal series for 2025 has begun. My goal is to have completed 31+ original paintings by June 1 of this year. Why 31 you ask? Well let me just say that I participated in the DOGGUST challenge 3 times in my life and was able to draw/paint (digitally mind you IS quicker-hello) a different dog for 31 days. If I can do that, I can paint 31 animals traditionally within 5 months. It's just sounds like and important amount anyways I guess. SO! Listed up on my soon to be new simple and not complicated website where you can actually purchase from-not a PORTFOLIO website like I have always had through Photobiz-sophisticated and sorta fancy, but no easy peasy ECOM there-and I am no longer a pet photographer. This shift to 'hand made by hand' using either PROCREATE or a messy palette on canvas has elevated and freed up my style of art. It IS loose and abstract-but I will always maintain the funny dog/cat/otter with clothes inclusion. A common thread that I am sticking with because I like it. Otherwise I get bored if it's not funny. Very soon I will have originals for sale-sold and packed and shipped by yours truly, canvas prints and prints via POD (drop shipped). I have always LOVED PRINTFUL (now PRINTFULLY? due to a merge with PRINTIFY) print quality. It is simply superb. Hope that won't change much-many artists are happy with Printful and I will stick with them until I can't. I am practicing every day and learning so much on Youtube and also experimenting with different mediums-oil is next-I can't wait til I'm ready. Photographing your artwork can be quite a lengthy challenge-I know how to do it (lay it on the FLOOR!) but damn the GLARE and tiny reflections make me mental!
This is only the beginning. June 1 is just around the corner so I gotta get messy!
