Back in the Great White North

by Amanda, posted in Abstract

First let me start by appoligizing to those of you who try to keep tabs on me.

As you can probably imagine, I’ve been a bit busy with the move from Japan back to Canada and that also includes catching up with friends and family. (Oh and on top of that, we’re in the midst of trying to pick a province to settle down in for a bit. We’ll go where the work is.)

But fear not dear readers, I haven’t forgotten about you or my blog and I do currently have 2 or 3 pieces to post, I just haven’t photographed them yet. (I hope to get that done in the next few days *crosses fingers*.)

In the mean time, I do have a bunch of time on my hands so why don’t you commission something 😉 I could use the work and the challenge!

Cheers for now,

A

Well I must be doing something right!

Just thought I’d share this with my readers.

Today lol I got a C&D a Cease and Desist.

For what you might ask…well, remember the pop art piece I did of my friend Eve.

Well when I went to look at my recent comments I found this on my “about me” page:

” Dear Sir, the name arteve is copyrights by myself and at the patentamt Munich in 1999. Please sont use this name for your business because I am using this name art eve and pop art eve since the year 1998.
Sincerely eva Horstick-Schmitt germany”

I figure I’ll leave it there for posterity for awhile…it amuses me.

Anyway, apparently this person feels my descriptor of “pop art” combined with the friends name “Eve” is infringing on his/her copyright.

I’m not terribly worried since I have neither business nor art piece by that name.

However, I thought it was worth a chuckle, so I had to share.

And hey look at it this way, I’m being noticed in Munich 😛

So Tired.

Today was a long day at work and I didn’t feel like creating anything very complex, colorful or time consuming.

Instead, I went for a simple noise reduced, black and white piece.
I’ve called it: “Quiet snowfall”

Good Evening,

Tonight’s sketch isn’t anything fancy really.

I was just messing around on my tablet and ended up with some glasses and a wine bottle. (hopefully it’s a good vintage 🙂 )

I spiced it up a bit by giving it a woodblock/print/stamp effect. It’s kinda neat and is good enough for tonight.

So here’s a toast to future days, cheers!
