Stockpiled creativity

Morning/Afternoon/Whatever time of day it is,

Today feels more like business than pleasure.

(Which granted isn’t necessarily a bad thing since it’s the Art business.)

I’ve  spent the morning scanning some art to make into prints for the trade show in November.

I’m hoping to do up a bunch and whatever doesn’t sell at the tradeshow will be put online to sell.

So as I was scanning, I came across a postcard sized piece I did last Christmas while on a train ride to Tokyo and thought I’d share it with you today.

So as is the norm, I was sitting with my feet up. I have this tendency to either sit crossed legged or with my feet on something. I’ll probably suffer with bad hips or arthritis when I’m older but what are you going to do. I also had the camera with me because we were taking pictures out the train window. So I snapped this pictures of my feet and thought it made for an interesting composition. Continue reading “Stockpiled creativity” →

Guitar Commission-Part Two

There’s just something about painting 3D objects that’s a fun, fun change from canvas.

The guitar is progressing beautifully.

I’m just waiting for some of the detail work to dry before adding the hands.

Here’s a few pictures to show you the progress. Continue reading “Guitar Commission-Part Two” →

Oops…

Right so I’m still working on the guitar commission but I hit a small snag.

See the person I’m doing the commission for wanted hands on the guitar as if they were playing.

Now see, me being the musically illiterate person I am goofed up.

How you might ask? Continue reading “Oops…” →

A few modifications

by Amanda, posted in Artist, ideas, Uncategorized

If you haven’t already noticed I’ve made a few modifications to my site.

I’ve added a main page (welcome to the milke way) complete with a slide show of my art. (not too shabby if I do say so)

I’ve also added a few page links to make getting around a bit easier and I’ve changed the music player to not start automatically

upon page loading. or rather removed it for the time being as well as the pic I had on the right column.

So have a look around and let me know what you think or if you’ve encountered any problems.

I’ll probably continue dabbling with things for a bit. (added a few new pics too that weren’t originally in the Traditional Gallery)

Cheers for now,
