So You Want to Sell at Art Festivals

Posted on June 20, 2010 at 11:51am 3 Comments

Have you ever wanted to sell your art at an art festival, but fear of the unknown stopped you dead in your tracks, while the desire for the gypsy lifestyle was still in your soul? Have you visited festivals to see the array of art from…

Be Careful With Your "Sales"

Posted on April 12, 2010 at 7:39am 7 Comments

Haven't posted in a while as 'Life Happens' as John Lennon would say. But I felt the need to remind others, as well as those new to selling on-line. The other day I received an email through my website contact, and I haven't seen one of these in a very long time. (I learned a few years back from a prolific on-line seller to beware of these.)
Someone emails you through…

AOL Video-Rotten Tomatoes, Anyone?

Posted on September 30, 2009 at 7:00am 11 Comments

One hot July day here in Lake Havasu, Arizona, I was surprised with an email from AZ Highways Television. It is an AZ TV half hour show that highlights, historical, recreational places to visit, as well as art, artists, and galleries. Well, I agreed, not knowing what I was in for on a day when the temperature here reached about 115 degrees- give or take a couple of degrees! Cameras, lights, cameramen, and everything that goes with it, crammed into my studio. Shades were placed on the windows to… Continue

The Flux Museum Exhibition

Posted on July 8, 2009 at 11:30am 2 Comments

For several years I have belonged to a collage group on Yahoo called the International Museum of Collage started by Cecil Touchon. This Spring, although abstract art, Dada, non-art as art was really not my forte, I decided to enter an exhibition of Fluxus Art. I have been working in new directions for a couple of years now, in between my large paper collage work. Since I was creating boxes with assemblaged tops, I thought I'd give the "Thinking Inside of the Box' exhibit a try.

Does Anyone Read Robert Genn's Twice Weekly Letters?

Posted on June 12, 2009 at 3:00pm 2 Comments

I thought I'd share this, since it is something some of us blogged about the other day. I have been getting his letters for several years. His site also has great quotes and is quite uplifting as well. Enjoy.

"The Brontes' Parrish" cover is made from polymer clay. I made an etched negative in metal and then sprayed the finished pieces with silver. I wanted to make covers in the traditional silver as they did in the old days, but I just don't work in silver. So, the next best thing... plan B is always an option!

"MMMMM's" becomes anything and everything to each person. Glad I didn't really title it. Thanks Kathryn.

When I get my printer fixed, I intend to print, frame and sell all 250 paintings.

That is, if I live that long.

I know what you mean Kathryn - It might be the Gelly Roll pens just move over it easier.  My other pens - not so much.  Have a great day in the beautiful place you live.

Nice meeting you too Kathryn and many many thanks for your kind comments on my work.  I so appreciate it!  I use Sakura colored pens on the citra solv after it dries really well.  Also, I don't care for that scent myself that's why I do it outside and leave it to dry for quite awhile before I bring it in.

Ya its been probably half a year since I was active on this site, so I guess its a welcome back for both of us! I'm starting to get more into realism and representational work as I study Art History, we are like going in opposite directions haha. But I will always be a sucker for abstract expressionism at the end of the day. Its nice to have a neighbor in the southwest US :)

HERE ARE 2 LINKS to TWO of my youtube videos talking and demonstrating about this amazing product:

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=HIc02QBihJQ&feature=share&list=UUM6N5AOYoyg6eAkbcDWpNFg

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6zAPZn5TEyM&list=UUM6N5AOYoyg6eAkbcDWpNFg&index=41

So once i have my image printed onto transparency film, I take my Ezscreen silk screen which has been coated in light sensitive emulsion (These sheets come pre-coated so they are ready to use). Place it onto a black board, then place the transparency image on top (this part needs to be done in a dark room with no direct sunlight). I take it outside and expose it for 1 minute and 40 seconds (but time varies depending on time of day and strength of sunlight). After i have exposed the image i place it into a tub of water for around 5 - 8 minutes. Then i rinse the screen out under fast running water until the unexposed area (the black) washes away. I then expose the screen to the sun for a further 20mins to completely harden the light sensitive emulsion. 

And this is the completed screen ready for printing.  I simply use an old credit card to spread the ink over the screen making sure i do one complete full stroke across the screen (holding the credit card at a 45 degree angle). I immediately wash the screen out under fast flowing water and pat dry. I use fabric screen printing ink which washes out in water (which makes the process easy).

I love this product, their website is http://ezscreenprint.com/ (for full instructions and details on how to purchase this awesome product).
