Telling stories
Soooo, those of you that have been following me for a while know of my consistant inconsistancy of blogging. I start them well enough..then...well....Look! Something shiny! Lol. Such is the life of an artist. But this is truly different. This is the blog of a process. Not just the meandering musings of my crazy mind. With this blog, I have a clear purpose.
Hopefully, you have met my little Misery Black and Mal Grey. And you should also be aware that I am writing a book. So, now, in this blog, I am going to take you behind the scenes to see my process. If you dare!! Muah ha hah! Sorry, too melodramatic? With this blog, I want to chronicle my journey with these two little rag dolls and their little charges. I hope you will begin to see them as I do: my window and my mirror all at once.
My intention with Misery and Mal has always been to tell moralistic tales with happy endings. Most of the stories involve finding love and acceptance. I think now, more than ever, we need a little love and acceptance. So, come with me while I tell their story. And maybe you'll find a window or a mirror, too

If you're not familar with Misery and Mal, or maybe you just don't know their stories, check me out on Instagram @artAAaddict. I have already posted two of the stories that will be in my book as well as numerous WIP (work in progress) shots. Many prints are available. Hit me up if you have any questions or see something that you like.
