Hey there sports fans, Al here with the latest;
An idea for a new mermaid piece.
I need a not creepy piece of mermaid artwork with earrings and a necklace and a tail and white that has rainbows. I'll see how well I can do that with a piece of black and white or work.
So now the "Say it ain't so show" has been going on for about three weeks now. In that time, I have sold five pieces of artwork. One original black and white of Richard Parker "Cargo Hold of the Deep" four small mounted prints. It's been reasonably successful for me showing people the artwork with them commenting about it. I've had other questions about the work. As you could tell by the beginning part of this blog, I was approached by my coworker. She wanted to have a piece of artwork done for her daughter, who happens to be four years old. Her description of what she likes about mermaids are as follows - "probably with not as long a tail and not and make it not as "creepy. " This made me laugh out loud. Which is four-year-old speak means to make the eyebrows not so pointed and jaggy, and it has to have rainbows.
Please refer to the piece of artwork "Spell Upon Richard Parker."
I might be able to do that. But right now, I'm in the process of working on three new big 18 x 24 pieces of artwork that have already been drawn out they've already been transferred over. It's a matter of just starting to work on it. I need to finish the last the let the previous three, and then start planning for number seven, the apocalyptic forecast. It'll be a 9 x 12, but I need to design that one out.
UPDATE: 8-29-21
Currently, I am looking over some aspects of looking for an artist's agent to help me find other venues to showcase my art. It has been pointed out that I might have to change my subject matter to attain a higher status with more "conservative tastes."
This is a personal choice for me. I can do such pieces (and who knows, I might actually do it just because), but I am not about to just change course on what I have set for myself. I've already changed course in trying to finish Richard Parker, and look where that has gotten me. Closer to being finished, but what does that really mean?
Anyway, heady thoughts for long-term stuff.
And I am outta here.
