As many an artist know, creating art can be a bit of a draining process. The mental strain, time constraints, being one’s own worst critic… all of these weigh upon me yet I still love to create and show my work. Must mean I was born to be an artist, so create I must and create I do, so I am here to give you a bit of a preview of what is to come, both in art and blog posts.
First up I am teaming up with the talented Paoling Che of KOKOCANDLES to design artwork for a line of candles with a Zodiac theme.
Aries are the cutest of all, if I do say so myself.
Second up is a bit of new artwork I am in the process of creating for my Alice in Wonderland collection, the White Knight and his mighty steed.
Along those lines, I saw the trailer for the new Sam Raimi movie, “Oz: The Great and Powerful,” which got me thinking that I do need to do a collection for the Wonderful Wizard of Oz. Possibly with a steampunk flair, but as always with the dark but cute style that I so love. But as many artist know, when using established work that is in public domain, one must check to make sure certain interpretations of said material are not copyright protected (hint: those damn ruby slippers). But that is a post for a later date.
Lastly is a small poem, written by Shawn Givens, for one of my more popular drawings Zombie Girl.
There was a girl with a Glasglow smile,
who walked for what was many a mile.
A rose in hand to lay on the grave bed,
of her boyfriend who is quite undead.
