AUTHOR: Monica Lee TITLE: Friday Favs, Danita and Lucy! DATE: 9:20 AM ----- BODY:
Wow! I haven't blogged since Tuesday. I have thought about it a lot but haven't actually done it. What does that say about where my head is!? I have not done a Friday Favs in a bit. I do have a few new artists and things and ideas booked marked. The first is danita art. Click to her etsy shop for a full range of her work. I found her on Etsy and she is spread out on several sites selling her art. I think she is original and has a very distinct style. Then I also found Lucy Claydon an artist who works under the name Lottie Frank. I think I must have seen her before in one of my fashion illustration books because the name and her style is familiar to me. I was surfing around Etsy because I was thinking about selling some of my more fashion based illustrations online. I did 3 new fashion illos this weekend, I am not sure if I can post them, actually I don't know why I can't...anyhoo and I just sunk into it and thoroughly enjoyed myself. I keep a creative/business journal and I was asking myself "how does making this type of art make you feel?" Excited? Bored? And "how does making that type of art make you feel?" Nervous, excited and slightly uncomfortable. Hmmmm, interesting emotions and I think for me good ones, slightly uncomfortable means I am pushing myself to think differently about my art and my surroundings. There I was in my previous post asking about how I could make sure I was bringing cash flow in if the economy took a dip (or dive). And I think my conclusion is to head in the direction that makes me nervous, excited and slightly uncomfortable.
