New Art Style and Updates
I hope everyone is doing well this week. I've had a busy week so I'll try not to go on too long. I have an art show in a gallery coming up Friday the 13th in Austin at Propaganda HQ a new art gallery. The show is from 6 to 10pm and one of my paintings will be hanging up for the month of June and for sale.
I'll have digital prints for sale, and as many of you know I've been focusing on digital art for the past year or so. This week I decided to experiment with going back to paper and ink as I haven't used it in a while and its really changed how I enjoy and look at art and abstract art. I would think it was more limiting, but it's like opened up all new things for me. Here is some of what I've been working on this week.
A lot of these relate to my mental health struggles and journey. I'll have these originals with me at the show and anything that doesn't sell will be added to my store. Which brings me to the next update.
Currently I have all digital art in my store available as Print on Demand items. I did this as with digital I can't afford to warehouse a ton of prints and t-shirts and such, So I use a print on demand company to ship things as ordered. Problem is, those items tend to be way more expensive than usual, and I have no control over shipping over fulfillment. Lately, their prices have gone up due to tariffs and their shipping times are taking several weeks. Not that I sell much of this stuff, but I occasionally order things for myself and its taken 2 weeks for a t-shirt to ship.
That said, after my art show, I'll be taking down all POD items and adding in my original art and any leftover prints only. So, if there is something digital you want, make sure you grab it this weekend, because it's all coming down in a few days. I think this will be a much better development as I'll have more control over pricing, and total control over fulfilling orders. Only unknown will be the post office and delivery times, but we'll deal with that as we go.
Anyway, I'm really excited about this next step in my journey and I hope you guys stick with me going forward to see some of the cool things I have planned. Thank you all for hanging out with me and supporting me.
