I made this illustration using pen and ink. I intentionally left the imagery open to interpretation, and I’m curious what different people see in it.
What stands out to you first?
What kind of story, world, or meaning do you think is happening here?
I’m especially interested in interpretations that aren’t necessarily what I intended.
…and the response was amazing! I love the Little Free Libraries and we have plenty here in Vancouver.
Hey Vancouver!
The first time I hid my artwork in local Little Free Libraries was such a fun success that I decided to do it again!
I just went around and hid 9 art prints of cat portraits in various Little Free Libraries around the city. They have their names written on the back :)
If you happen to find one while on a walk or browsing for your next read, it’s yours to adopt! If you manage to hunt one down, feel free to drop a photo in the comments or tag me, I’d love to see where they end up!
Happy hunting, and hope it brings a smile to your day! 🤍
Let me know what you think!
Hey Vancouver!
I wanted to do something fun to spread a little brightness and community spirit this week, so I decided to leave some art in the wild. I packaged 7 prints of my original paintings and tucked them into various Little Free Libraries across the city.
Each one has a little note attached to the back. If you find one, it is 100% yours to keep and take home! Happy hunting, and hope it brings a smile to your day! 🤍
Sorry for the bad lighting, just wanted to share a simple recent painting (acrylic on canvas paper, 12x9”). Hope it brings you joy as much as it does for me!
I just updated my Etsy shop and wanted to share it with you!
Hello everyone!
I’m relatively new to the art business world and am currently working on building a small brand for myself. It’s an exciting but definitely intimidating process!
I’m reaching out because I’d love some community feedback on two big questions:
Is my work good enough/appealing enough for people to purchase and display?
If so, how should I approach pricing?
The cardboard pieces are 3.5x5” and the canvas paper ones are 5x7” all using acrylic paint.
A bit about my work: I focus on sustainable practices, primarily using upcycled/recycled materials like corrugated cardboard as my medium for acrylic paintings. A lot of my recent focus has been on custom mini pet portraits and a series of quirky, colorful animal paintings.
I’m attaching a couple of examples of my style.
In my recent post, it was suggested not to use cardboard, but I have seen other artists use it and been selling successfully. I also sometimes paint on canvas. I would love to hear your thoughts on the marketability of this style, any tips for pricing mini paintings/portraits on recycled materials, or advice for someone just starting out.
Thank you so much in advance!
Hello everyone! These are some of my recent artwork, acrylic on 5x7” canvas paper. I haven’t posted them on my Etsy shop yet, still figuring out how to price them. Just wanted to share them here for now, I’ll update as soon as they become available on my shop.
Thank you!
