A bit later than my usual Monday postings, I know, but it is still Monday here on Planet Kit, so I'm not late! :) I know I said I'd have the Holiday card Request post up before this week's State of the Artist, but that just didn't end up happening. There's been a whole raft of maintenance issues on the Home Front to take care of over the last week. It's almost like everything in the house decided to go on strike all at once! I plan to have it posted this week, however, so be on the lookout!
That said, let's get on with the update, and it's going to be a woefully short one this week!
Weekly Words
From the body of one guilty deed a thousand ghostly fears and haunting thoughts proceed.
- William Wordsworth, 1770 - 1850
Current Project
While my Current Projects include working on the November postcard image and getting things set up for the Holiday Card Request post, I do have a new personal piece in the works... sort of.
Unfortunately, there are no images, as I'm having difficulties with transferring my original sketch to a suitable substrate without altering the original sketch lines. I PLAN (and I say plan loosely, as plans change once they go from concept to practice) to complete the newest piece in watercolors, but it's larger than I usually work in this medium.
Ordinarily, I would run the paper through my printer to transfer a washed out scan of my original pencils to the surface... however, I'm working on hot press illustration board that is too wide for the printer and is a much thicker, more rigid surface than watercolor paper.
Any of you out there have any suggestions for another transfer method, please let me know!
Monthly Postcard Project
The September Monthly Postcard Project image is available for sale to the general public!
The September image is 5.5"x8.5" ink and watercolor on watercolor paper, $25USD + shipping ($6USD domestic US/$9USD international.) If interested, please send an email with silvertales[at]gmail[dot]com with "September Monthly Postcard Project original" in the subject line.
Near Future
As mentioned, the Near Future brings the November postcard original, along with the plans for the Holiday Card request post. I also hope to have the next four pieces in the Comic Nouveau series done before Christmas! *fingers crossed*
As, I'm now officially done with convention appearances for 2013, hopefully, there will be more time to work on new personal art and open up a few commission slots, as well!
Well, I think that's all for this week's State of the Artist update here on Planet Kit.
I thank you for joining me again this week! Feedback is the food which fuels the creative discussion between Artist and Audience, please, feel free to comment or leave suggestions for new projects!
Feel free to post links to this journal/community if you feel there might be interest in my artwork!
