Whats next for me..?

 
+ Artist problems  

I am more then determined  after my 1st exhibition. Im motivated to do more. 

Ive had thoughts before about doing my own tatto book, just a small one though. I just think that its a great idea, plus it still links back to my art. Now I have decided that I want to produce pieces of art that are bigger then me ... now im 4'11, I guess thats not too bad, its a challenge that im willing to take on.

In my last post I mentioned about couples and culture, I really want to start doing cultral art on a bigger scale, experiementing with new things maybe with different materials. I am one that only like to stick to the style I know best but ive learnt that the more versatile you are as an artist, the more People will appriciate it as its directed at many crowds. Im going to make my work more authentic, more edge and risk taking. 

 Im also planning to do a project with my big sis as shes a writter and im an artist, where going to do a comic of a story she has been working on. Its amazing because my ss and I never realised the potetial of our talents coming together before. So Im excited to be starting a project with my sister because she is an amazing writter and the world will soon find out just how great she is at her craft.

Fun project  - I want to do a small project where a couple of friends and I do a photoshoot but I want the theme to be something like ' BUBBLE GUM GIRLS THEME ', find a nice landscape (Location)  where we can do it. After thats done I draw/ Paint them. If you guys have any suggestions make comments below:).



Then I got two recent offers which were, To teach children to learn english over a period of time, but through my art. I think this is great, working with children would be an honourto me.  Then
 Eli the storyteller was also intersted in doing some story telling with my art as inspiration.
Thank you for these opportunities. I hope to work with you all in the near future.

New Artist problems

So I always have this idea in my head that I can just walk into an arts ad craft store and just buy what I want, more so need. Thats not the case. The things you see in good quality art stores are not cheap atall. Like I just want to be able to buy whatever but I cant sometimes because Im a new artist and I dont always have the change to do so. Thats just one of many problems. 

I also have to try my hardest to promote myself on all the social newtworks I have, on Instagram, Twitter, Facebook like page, Blogspot (...This LOL), Deviantart and Tumblr. Dont for a second think that Im complaining about it but its just very hard to keep up with them all but this is the only way of networking for me at the moment. .

Then people not buying your art, which is understandable because some dont know me, they dont want to invest in a piece of art most of the time if they are not head over heels for it.

Having a fan base is also a problem, people dont want to pay to get into exhibitions because they think its boring or not worth their time.. or what ever the case may be, to come and see paint splashed onto a canvas, they just dont get it. If people could see the true beauty of every individual artist, they'd pay faster then I can say BOO!!.

 Lastly,  getting my art from one location to the next. Transport for the exhibtion was hard enough but when I start to produce bigger pieces.. what am I going to do. Argh! The fustration. My dads transport is somethig I will have to deal with untill I become more established.

The only thing that is great right about now, is having all the 

spear time in the world that I need as an artist:)

Its great to get into new things, im always willing to know more about
my industry. 

 Come again

The 'Express yourself exhibition' experience - Success!!

                      I'm so happy right now and I just have to share this with you guys.

I put on my first Exhibition last Thursday (31st), I can truly say that it was one of the best feelings I have ever had.I have wanted to do my very own exhibition for a while now and not going to uni, a few times I have doubted my self just because nowadays people make you believe you can not go anywhere if you dont study at uni, which is not true.

I worked so hard to put on this exhibition last month, the preparation, business aspect and getting people together to view my art. Preparation was very hard but I had the support of my family around me consistently. It makes me feel so blesseed to have such a talented, supportive, motivsted family because it just makes me strive for more in life. Being a 18 year old in this society now.. I feel I have achieve so much off my own back. (Thank you to those of you who have helped me follow my dreams of being a successful artist.)

Its so hard to please people when it comes to art especially if they havent got the eye for it. Not much people know what art is all about, what certain styles portray or how to read it. Which is understandable because when I was in school I didnt understand certain things about art. I want to bring a different style to the industry. <3 

To be honest, I was overwhelmed  but so glad when people wanted to buy art off me. I successfully sold 6 pieces at my exhibition. I did a lot of research and it said on one site that you should sell your art for what you think it is worth, which I think I did.

Algaphobia

Rhythm and Blues

Red Velvet

I appreciate all the people that came along to view not only my art but the passion I have for what I do. 
I would do it again in a heartbeat.

Thank you again

Music Is The Only Thing That Can Heal Us....

Music is a beautiful thing and I don't know what I would do it I didn't have it...Live on but its something that everyone can relate to in some way, share or form. Depending on what type of music you like, all these emotions come with it. I'm easy and like all types, I know It can be slightly annoying because, Nine times out of ten when You ask someone what type of music they like, they say "OH I like all types really :D" Yeah I know. People like music for all reasons but most of the time people say its because its like being in another place, you can just escape, listen and not be bothered. That's true but Its also for healing, Its a great therapy, If you have a different opinion, Please share.

If you think about it, back in the days when people felt hurt because of what ever reason or was misunderstood in some way, this must have been the only way they could express themselves and now we all share music from all over the world. Also art is another way of expressing feeling,music and art is beautiful.

My favourite song at the moment is 'Do it like you' - By DiggySimmons Ft Jeramih Check it out ;)

Never feel ashamed about the music you like just to fit in,
If you cant like the music you want, around your friends,
Then their not your friends.

You can confidently like your music and appreciate,
Or be ashamed and hide it. 

Justin Bieber

Recently Justin released a teaser to his new single...boyfriend. Damn the teaser really is a teaser, I cant stop listening to the song, I just cant wait for the video now, its just great. Now I think of it, this is song is one of a kind. I also realised that he changes the sound of the song three times, which I love, like three songs in one, even better. 

My overall opinion of the song is, great and I can definately dance along to it, in my room, livingroom, If family will allow it. LOL.  Gosh I rememeber when justin was soo young and I use to dance in front of the tv singing 'One time' actually I still do that. Its funny because I was reading a commet on youtube yesterday  and someone commented saying how they use to get picked on because they liked justin  ....then they put in brackets (Im a boy by the way) and I just thought woow hes not ever allow to like his own music, People are so judgemental these days. Oh and then he said 'But now I cant deny that this is a good song, teambieber' I was just thinking 'You go girl' and soon after thinking oops, I meant to say 'you  go boi' :D

Hope people appreciate his music, like I do :)

Strive hard enough for something you want, and you'll get it

Deviant art

So I havent done much drawing lately because of sixth-form and other stuff that have been distractring me. But now I think I might be finally back on track.:D YES!!
I love doing traditional drawing because I feel like thats what I should be doing with my drawing skills, traditional. Being a part of deviantart is amazing because I just feel like everyone understands me there, not that I feel misunderstood. Its sure a huge growing site that its great to be a part of it already for 7 months, woow I must say it feels like years because people ae just sonice to you, appreciate your art and respect you.

Art is my life but it hasnt been for a VERY long time, and I know why.

Christmas Day Is Nearly Out ... ZZzz

So christmas is nearly over. Today wasnt as bad as I thought it would be, having your family around you is the greatest thing, thats all I ask for, to have my family around me on christmas day.

Its funny because people only think of the presents but now im older, I have learnt that presents isn't everything. Learning how to appreciate your family is really important and you should always tresure all the beautiful moments you have with eachother. Having a big family is nice, but I can only count the people who care on both hands, thats it and I think thats sad.

I am so knackered ffrom all that cooking with mum, but I must admitt It was soo fun cooking with mummy, shes a star, couldnt wish for anyone better even if I had the chose. We cooked like three different types of meets, like mum does every year and plenty other stuff. And like always mum stayed up through to christmas, she never really sleeps, she gets about four, five hours of sleep because shes nonstop cooking. So I decided to join. On our feet all day, but we do make a great team. One last thing about that, i've realised im constantly asking about the food mum makes; How long does it have to go in for? Is it ready yet? So what do you put in that then? Are you going to leave that in there? Did you do that to the meat the last time?, so now im thinking I maybe taking an interest to cooking.. hmm.

Christmas dinner. Like usual I stuff my face but this year,that was not the case. This evening I just had one plate, I know... some people may think.. 'ohh thats not too bad' but with me im a slight pig when it comes to christmas dinner, sooo now im starting to think that my stomach has shrunk. I well and truely said goodbye to the second plate of food this evening, ahwell. Hooray!!.

Newyear. New attitude to life.
