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 2

So  here I am again, In the last post I promised you guys I would show some photo updates.  I have used scrap shirts for practising.

 So here it is, tell me what you think . 

(The things I used will be down below, If curious.)

Theses are the stencils I made In the space of two weeks, I have been trying to do more Urban, edgy art recently and I think this may be it.

The first one is of a girl with headphones on, the second one is a letter stencil that I just made up, the third one is a typicall stereotype black boy from USA that plays ball, the fourth is a young urban girl with a beanie, the fifth one is an afro boy (He thinks his cool) and lastly the lollipop girl with a bit of edge and the business initials.

A very small description of what they are about or if not ill let you decide.

 

Here is just a little look of how it turned out (My first stencil!!!! wooop.)

The scalpel gives such great neat lines to the stencils, thats what I love about 

this new scalpe I bought.

 T - Shirts

 Lastly my twin was very supportive and let me photograph her in all the printed shirts I had produced.

Here is just two.

•  Fabric Paint - Hobby Craft - £2 each - X5
• Fabric Spray - Hobby Craft -£8 each - X2
• Scalpel Knife - Hobby Craft - £5
• Purple Ink Marker - Location of purchase (Any art shop) - £1
• White Normal drawing hard paper - Hobby Craft -£12
•  Editting and photos - Huawei phone camera for some but Canon Eo5 10000D camera for most  - Curry's

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.


 Photo of my twin helping to do a customised Black  T- shirt: 21 On the back and sun glasses chick on the front.


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.

    Thanks for passing by again

....And Another 1

 I want to keep this post short and sweet. I feel like this 

is another step forward for me and I really want to share it with you guys. <3

So today was mums workshop, it was truly amazing 'women impowering women' - Lights Camera Action. I always learn something new whenever I attend the workshops and I am blessed to have a mum like mine. The workshops always help me if Im ever doubting myself, feeling like something isnt going wrong, just any problems in general. I love the workshops, its great to know that every last saturday of the month I always have something to fall back. It always reminds me that my future is in my hands. Thank you mum.  <3

 I sold this piece for £45 (Acrylic - Medium) today!! Thank you for all the support that everyone has given me for the past couple years. I am blessed to have my family and the handfull of friends that are true to my talent and will be by my side every step of the way.

Thank you again

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

Get Creative!

I am so glad that I can share my experiences and plans with you guys. I’m actually planning to start my own business and id just like to share some of my thought process with you. 

Quite a while back I starting thinking of different ways I could promote my own art work. I am currently working on some things like;  My own tattoo sketch book, mini exhibition, working with young kids by getting sponsors, clothing line and many more. I am so ready to get my business up and running because I don’t feel like art s promoted in the right way, plus it’s not promoted enough to show the appreciation. I feel like when I start up this business I can really show people on thee outside what art really is. One of my main goals on this journey is to work with kids. I would love to show younger kids that they can also be creative because everyone has a creative side of them.

I have looked into funding for individuals, funding for people who are trying to work on their own businesses, and I would love to do either so i have more opportunities as an artist to show you guys the thing I love doing the most. 

I will be doing a mini exhibition, hopefully very soon after I leave sixth-form. All my art work, I hope it will inspire many young people of my generation and others to come. I would love it if you guys could join me when I plan the date. This hopefully is the first step to my successful future.

Thank you for reading. Comment and share it with your friends and family. :)
Peace xo
