Busszzzy Bee Me !

Yep, Busszzzy is the word, it really is. This post wont be long, More photos of what I have produced recently then writting.
I have been using my new Tulip fabric spray from Hobby Craft to produce the T-shirts below, It has definately been more effective then the Paint .
These t-shirts maybe the official tops I use for the photoshoot I plan to do for promotion, but I will still consider doing them again for the last time because It could be better If I did them again.

In Action - Part 3

Hey there,

So I have been talking for a while about a project that my sister and I have been wanting to do.

WE HAVE FINALLY STARTED!!!!

As of Sunday the 5th of Jan, we started our comic. We sat down, got all our stuff together and discussed what parts we had to play in the comic,  wghat stuff wwe were going to need obviously she writes and I draw so it was final that we were going to partner up from the beginning.  A outstanding writer and an experienced artist work perfectly together, right?! 

If you want to know the equiptment I use for the comic, look down below. 

 Purchases for comic studies

• Making comics storytelling secrets of comics, manga and graphic novels. By Scott McCloud.
• Understanding comics the Invisible art. By Scott Mc McCloud.
• The last Purchase - The walking dead Compendium one. This was not bought for studies, but it is definately a great help for studies, to see how they have draw the characters really help. 

The top images are small panel drawings I did of 'The Walking Dead' for practice. I did find it quiet challenging at first, it was difficult to get the shapes of faces, catch a nice flow of using the pens and getting the proportions  right. In saying that I have over come these problems and now are doing better at it. I still want to improve alot more and take more notice of all the acspects that relate to a comic.

In Action - Part 1

So 'In action', many of you maybe thinking what that means, for me.
 
If you have read previous posts of mine, you would have seen me mention that I was going to start designing T-shirts with my own art printed on them (New aspect to my Business - Ways of promotions).

I have been keeping myself busy recently and really trying to put alot of things into action In terms of my business, creating things that I can actually see. Being a young entrepreneur is not easy but I find recently I have been juggling alot of things at one time. 

I  hopefully want to start selling theses T-shirts in the spring near summer, this is my goal. Its going well at the moment, I have been experiementing with many paints, this wasn't as neat as I wanted it to be so then I moved on to the Tulip spray, and It's alot easier to apply onto the fabric im using. I stuck with the permanent grape and sapphire, I love the colours on the white vests. The work perfectly but in the near future I still want an actually spray can eventually.
One thing Im glad about is that I have the best supoort system around me, My twin is constantly offering her survices to help me, my big sis always makes sure my head is on straight and never lets me fall, always there to pick me back up. lastly my mother is my inspirating and is always there to give great advice. What more could I ask for...???? I dont need anything else. Thanks to my beautiful queen and princesses.

I have actually been using the Tulip Matt tubbs for my practice and the tubbs look like the ones in the above photo. The paint is not too bad and dry pretty fast. The one thing I dont like about the white one is it does not look the same dry and wet. Its really light and doesnt look neat enough for me. So yes I have stopped using those, only if I have to do a practice shirt, I will use it to save the good stuff. 





Hobby craft is my store, I love it. It makes me spend all my money, but its all worth it in the end. Thumbs up to all the Hobby craft stores out there!!!!.
...And just in case you was wondering what I have been using, The information is below
What I have been using:

• Fiskars Cutting mat - Hobby Craft - £5 << I think, Can't rememeber exactly, but it's close.
• Tulip dimensional slick fabric paint - Black - Hobby Craft - £2
• Tulip dimensional slick fabric paint - Blazin  Blue - Hobby Craft - £2
• Tulip dimensional slick fabric paint - White - Hobby Craft - £2
• Tulip permanent  fabric spray - Sapphire - Hobby Craft - £8
• Tulip permanent  fabric spray - Grape  - Hobby Craft - £8
• Scalpel Knife - Hobby Craft - £5 << Also not sure, but close. 

Look out for the next post,  it will most definately be packed with photos of what I have done so far and more.

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
xXx

Let The Music Create My Art'

 So the other day my sister asked me if i have ever used music to influence my art work... I said no because to be honest, thats the truth. My mind does not go crazy when ever I listen music I just start dancing like a crazy woman. I know maybe strange to some.

Anyways we got talking and She had already been playing music whilst we had been speaking, the next song came on, which was Ed sheeran - Drunk(This song is so beautiful) so I decided that I was going to start actually listening to the word to see what I felt or saw in my haed from it.

Turns out its a great stimulus to work from, only works for some music. Then  ' The power of love' came on and my mind started going crazy, I actually started to think music may be the one that can allow me to create original, unique but beautiful work. The images that I was getting in my head were so beautiful and I found I couldnt stop it.

Ill give you guys a small description of what I saw while listening to Power of love ..

A empty snow forest, which you can only see a small amount of the trees. Daytime, looks cold but its still so beautiful. Only one thing in the frest apart from the long and tall trees... a litttle girl walking towards it.. alone. She has her baby blue winter coat, scarf, hat and black shoes and she  looks no older then ten. 

Thanks :) Just a little something

Then it got better because Lauryn Hill came on, I got so excited I started thinking cultral art, afros,In dependent Individuals, Locked couple and that was it. 

Im not going to write a short description because I think the Image to the right below is what I was thinking in my head.
