I love how this painting of Shadowheart turned out, especially how I managed to get little symbols and details related to her character to fit into an Art Nouveau style. I keep meaning to do more paintings of the rest of the Baldurs Gate 3 party but I keep getting side tracked by other projects.
I'm considering making a series of paintings like this of other queer Irish artists. I have some in mind already, but does anyone have any recommendations to check out?
Last weekend I sold some of my prints and crafts at a local Pride event and I'm happy to report I did far better than I expected!
The last time I sold at a fair was at a convention 10 years ago when I was still a broke student and I didn't even make up the travel costs to get to the place, so the experience left a bad taste in my mouth. I've dipped my toe back into art again though recently and decided to go splits on a table with my partner, who makes wood carvings.
Because I wasn't sure if this was something I want to continue doing, I made the display very DIY with things that were already around my house, including a paper maché tiered stand I made for worry stones (I recorded my process of making it in this video). It was actually a lot of fun to try come up with these low cost solutions and I think it actually sort of adds to the craft gremlin vibe of my brand.
Overall I'm over the moon with how well the market went and I'm already trying to build up more stock and on the lookout for more markets I could sell at!
