Marketing drawings … I hope!

Vegetable Bounty pillow I joined a website (Society6) which sells various products with prints of your uploaded images … and I purchased two items to see how the products look.

The cushion and the mug both look good, but I realized my own error … I had failed to sign my work legibly or add my website! So I decided to rework all the various combinations & sizes of digital images, and replace them all on the website. Hours of tedious work, but done now. Now these still feature the artwork, but include attribution, so as to be good for use in marketing 🙂

Here is a vegetable combination on a square cushion, available in three sizes and with a choice of indoor or outdoor cover material. I bought the outdoor cover: it is pleasant to the touch, seems sturdy, and looks great!

The mug is a basic white ceramic mug.The image is neatly wrapped and fills the outside of the mug. It looks fine. I may send some of these as Christmas presents to friends & family!

I don’t think too many people will find / buy these, but with my name & website on them, they might catch someone’s eye if I buy them myself, and even place a few around coffee shops that have mug racks … might be worth a try.

I just decided to try out the online company Society6, which sells mugs, prints, cushions, and more with the artwork of any artist who registers & posts artwork. Registration & posting is free, Society6 takes a commission on all sales. I am told they use quality materials and reproduction for their products. The site images certainly look nice.

It would be quite pleasing to sell a few mugs, cushions or tote bags with my work printed on them, so I have uploaded a few select images. Check out the cushions here, and there are also mugs and more…

I rarely try to reproduce nature as I see it, however my art is always informed by nature. I draw from the many patterns that the natural world engraves upon me.Drawing statememt 2014

My drawings are the patterns in my surroundings that are traced into my memory by time.

Translucent sketch branchesGray Wolf seemed to attend meetings against her better judgement. One evening she came by anyway and said, ” In every service I renew my vow to save the many beings, but, really, how can I do that?”
Raven said, “It’s your precious keepsake.”
Mallard asked, “How can a vow be a keepsake?”
Raven said, “It reminds you of a loved one.”
Gray Wolf sat back and said nothing further.
Owl spoke up and said, “We also vow to waken to the countless gates of the Great Law. I always thought that vow meant I should study all the various Buddhist teachings, but now I am not so sure.”
Raven said, “See all the new green leaves glittering in the sunshine!”

No art here

This post is not so much about art.

It is just a brief explanation of the gap in my postings during the last weeks of July and into August.

My mother died on Thursday, July 24th in Jefferson Healthcare Hospital. She suffered a concussion from a fall, possibly caused by a stroke, and died one week later. This happened just two weeks after an ER visit related due to probable pneumonia. She was nearly 91, and she was ready to go. Her life had become more limited and much less rewarding. She did not want to live with daily care, and she never had to do that. She lived and died (mostly) on her own terms.
