News

Remember the Peach console I had for sale (find it here)? It sold! Just wanted to share because it's exciting :)  

In other news- I'm working on a portfolio these days-leaning towards illustration, photography and graphic design.  I updated my online portfolio.

Online Portfolio

I'm just wondering if there are artists who struggle as much as I do in deciding what to do?!  I love painting, illustrating, photography and up-cycling all equally as much and can't seem to decide on what to specialize in! And I'm pretty sure, as an artist, at some point, you have to decide.  At least in the mean time I can strengthen my style in all of the above...?!  Wait for someone to scoop me up and use my talents or make my own business...?  These are the questions!  Either way, I guess we just keep going on painting, taking pictures- whatever it takes to keep growing!  It's a challenge, not knowing and having too many options but I'm learning to take it on with optimism and as a privilege.  

One thing I've noticed is that the art world online is bigger!  A few years ago I could hardly find resources but these days it seems there are plenty of websites to give tips and great advice!  That, I'm thankful for.   Things such as: Royalties for illustrators, Managing time as an artist or finding an art studio space in your local area or online courses...  I'm happy about this because it ends up being very helpful for me, being self taught and all.  The down side of it is that it probably means more competition out there on an international level!  Everything in it's time. 

New Etsy shop!

Here is my Etsy shop that I opened in the summer! 

Mindy's Items

It's just a launching place to get started on sales.  If someone wanted to, they could immediately download the photo onto their computer.  There is one photo available to be shipped as a print.  I have only two paintings for sale because there's a possibility I might be able to display my paintings for sale in the near future. 

Here is an example of an instant download photo on my Etsy shop: 

 

If you follow my blog and have noticed that sometimes it's down, it's because I had some really strange traffic sources.  I am quite nervous about Internet fraud which caused me to make a logo for my photos.  I'm not sure if it's something I'll have permanently but it seems to be good for now. 

This was a banner I came up with for Etsy or whatever else in the future: 

Thanks for reading! Please think and pray for me and by all means, leave a comment!
