Updates

     So, as you may have acknowledged from my previous posts, I've finished both my abstract and album cover piece. If you hadn't taken a look at them, pictured below is how they turned out, and I'm fairly happy with the result of each 😊

 

     Currently, I'm working on finishing a portrait of a baby, whose feet and hands have been a little bit tricky, but is coming along nicely. I'll probably have it finished 100% by next week, but I'll leave some WIP pictures to look at for now (end of page).

    Good news as well, I have four (maybe 5) more commission requests as of yesterday. It is a super amazing feeling to know that your art is wanted in the world. I feel there's a lot of doubt; when starting a business, sharing your talents, etc in the idea that there exists a fear of rejection. So, when a new project arises for the sake of someone else and commissioned at that (the most important thing😁), it's a reassuring reality that I am good enough. On that note, pertaining to 5 (maybe 6) commission requests, I am currently closed for them until at least 4 are finished. In the meantime, I'm also continuing the 100 portraits in 10 days challenge, with which I'll post all of the portraits done at the end of those ten days, (or you can see daily posts on my Instagram and Facebook) and creating a small abstract on the side for my sister in a little switcharoo deal we have, (the same deal I had with my mom). 

     Other plans include some further investing. I'd really like to make some 5x7 prints of the abstract piece, titled Women Are A Trip, and create some stickers from a few sketchbook doodles I've made recently, (also pictured below ✌) and I plan on purchasing the XPEN Drawing Tablet-- I want to try my hand at digital art and it seems like a great place to start-- 

Thanks again to all that stop by here, or my Instagram and Facebook pages. I appreciate every single one of you. I'm so looking forward to further sharing my artwork and progress!

The Name and the Artist

I n the past, I was timid, quiet, easily overspoken. I gave an air of maturity, that I could claim, but that description no longer fits me. Don't get me wrong, I'm still meak, mature even, but what now lays underneath that veil also lies someone willing to change, to take courage, and speak up for herself and for the vulnerable mother that she is, that I am- unsure of where I should take my next steps in life as an independent woman, and to what direction I should travel in the journey to guiding my children. I want to communicate, connect, have fun and enjoy life to the fullest of my capabilities. I want to be unafraid, encouraged, and motivated. I want to be the best version of myself possible; making progress one day at a time.                                                         * * * Y ou might not suspect my timidness or my worries upon first greeting; I'm of Slovakian build with wide shoulders that make me appear intimidating and, paired with an overall thick bui

Discovering my Passion

       I understand how the whole "my passion found me" line seems like a total cliché but it does have its merits. In my 23 short years, I've only experienced true, soul-serving, focus-obsessing, work-encompassing passion once in my life. I've had plenty of interests run across my plate but nothing had ever wet my palette as much as art had.       I t started as a small flame and grew into an uncontrollable need to create and improve as I did so-- here is why I'd describe it as a passion finding me: I had been scrolling through Netflix, you know, as we often do, attempting to find a new show to watch, and I found myself stuck on this cute Japanese animation. It was the first one I'd ever watched, but there was just something about it that I couldn't take my eyes away from. T he lead, I found, was everything I wanted to be. She was kind-hearted, accepting, loving, a hard worker, hopeful; the ideal daughter and friend. Not that I wasn't any of th

Lighting and Mood

     * A uthor Tidbit*  As some of you may know, today is the kick-off to the artist feature project! I'll be featuring a new artist every Monday, Wednesday, Friday, and Sunday -starting today forward- taking an in-depth look at a few artworks that best embody the featured artist's style, talent, and skill. You're welcome to leave a comment, and if you like their work and want to learn more about them or to see other artworks, links will be posted at the end of each feature for you to follow. Thank you for taking the time to learn a little more about the raw hearts behind the work*       W ith that said, allow me to introduce our very first artist for this project, a digital artist with a passion for animals and someone who doesn't take "light" lightly: Artist Taylor Frost.       P ictured below are just a few of her animal portraits. It's easy to see how much thought went into the lighting and drama of each artwork. Paired with the light is the absolutel
