Sketchbook Views


As an artist, one of the most important tools is your sketchbook! Some i have seen are neatly filed and organised,with a separate area for written notes,ideas and clippings.
MINE however is NOT neat,but that is just how I like it!
As much as I love to begin working in a fresh new sketchpad,I feel far more attuned to it once it has gained a collection of scribbles,staples,coffee rings etc-all the imprints of the experiences that my book and I have shared!
Here is my first post of a sketchpad view. I have added a soft pink frame to the photo, as I liked the 'faraway' look to her, but other than that,it is a simple photograph of my pencil drawing. This is definitely a piece I would like to take further,a very feminine character!
I will post here to share some of those pages of (sometimes smudged and often tattered) inspirations as an insight into my work as it evolves.....

New Artist Trading Cards for the collector in you... ;)

New ACEO designs just added to my ebay store. What are ACEOs???? ACEO is the acronym for "Art Cards Editions and Originals". An ACEO is a small piece of art that can be defined by it's convenient 2.5 x 3.5 inch size. (Standard trading card size) ACEOs are VERY different from trading cards however, because they are CREATED and traded or sold by artists. All my ACEOs are absolute ORIGINAL pieces of art! (Some artists choose to sell prints of their work -'editions' ) ACEOs are created in any medium available in the art world. Artists are creating them in ALL kinds of styles and varieties. There are no rules limiting the artist, outside of the size dimensions. ACEOs can be framed, propped, used as bookmarks,grouped together in larger frames......use YOUR imagination! Trading Card notebooks, sleeves and holders can all be used to display them. BECOME A COLLECTOR YOUR SELF OR BEGIN A COLLECTION AS A SPECIAL GIFT FOR A FRIEND TODAY-THE VARIETIES ARE ENDLESS!
