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

Girls Girls Girls !!

So it’s been a while since I've posted anything, I want to talk about girls and their insecurities, if you agree, disagree with anything I have to say, I’d love to hear it. 


So recently I've been noticing a lot of girls on instagram consistently...That doesn’t actually like them. I don’t think its right that some women give younger girls the impression that it’s ok to wear layers of makeup, we was born this way and we should be happy with the way we look. It’s not right when you see girls on instagram and other social networking sites talking about how they want to look like someone else, they want to have someone else’s face, have their life. At the end of the day you don’t know what that girl’s life is like when they’re not online. There is a lot of girls in the world that are like 13-17 that are just very insecure about how they look, it’s not right that they think their role models have to be drenched in makeup and all the fake stuff. We should be teaching them how to be happy with who they are and be comfortable in their own skin.

I have a problem with girls that just refuse to not wear makeup. There is nothing wrong with defining your natural features but giving your face a whole new colour and just going overboard with it, I don’t agree. It’s very unattractive and not appealing at all. Comment and tell me what you think about this topic. I’m up for discussion. 

Peace xo
