Telling stories: How It All Began

In the fall of 2013, I became obsessed with voodoo dolls. I saw them everywhere: on tv, in movies, toys, cartoons. I wanted to do something with them. I started sketching some ideas.

 

 

Telling stories

At work on my bookSoooo, 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.

Misery Loves Company: An Emo Fable

Once upon a time, there was a little girl in a mental institution. She felt all alone and didn't know how to express her feelings. She decided to create another self - and so, Misery Black was born. Misery is a misfit, a little ragdoll that doesn't know where she belongs. But through her adventures, she creates her identity - just like that lost little girl.

If at first you don't succeed...

My adorable subjectI've been working on a commissiion for a pet portrait. This is a real challenge for me because it's a dog. I am a crazy cat lady after all! But it has been fun. So far, I've been just working on the sketch. That's part of my process. I sketch my paintings fully before painting them.

Work work work!

Original painting - "Ice Cold Skull"

I have been going through some old art lately. I have quite a few old paintings that have yet to find permanent homes. Instead, they gather dust in my home - sad and lonely. So I have decided to revisit these pieces and upcycle them to give them new life.

 


 

New website, new blog

So, here I am, starting a new blog....again! I'm trying out a new web host, so we'll see if this is any better! Maybe, now, I can keep up with it! Please give me any feedback that you may have!
