It seems as if there’s never enough rope, and that goes double for paper clips and rubber bands, and that’s just the way it’s been for thousands and thousands of your years.
I have about a thousand tapestries up for sale, mostly under $100, and I’ll show some of them at this morning’s zoom meeting, if time and space allow.
Been keeping busy on Zazzle, which I find to be a very artist-friendly neighborhood in which to practice the art of making art into art.
In the old days, all you could hope for was to translate your paintings into prints, and it was impossible to avoid the obvious money-maker — portraits of people and pets.
If you don’t want to paint cute paintings for the rest of your life, learn how to adapt your artwork to product.
There’s the ART — that’s Position #1, and then there’s the PRODUCT, Position #2, that thing upon which the art has been skillfully draped.
It’s only halfway in the production of art if it’s only your original — you need to spread it on some toast and see if it jellies, dig it?
So paste some artwork onto the pages of Redbubble and see what develops. I think you’ll be happily surprised to see how amazingly your artwork can turn out when it’s been draped onto a usable wearable product!
Don’t go crazy with this — just try one single image, and see what happens to it. The things that don’t work, generally don’t show up, automatically.
You can hide the things that didn’t work out — they won’t amount to much, once you get the idea of how to work with images on something other than paper or canvas.
See You At The Top!!!
