purpose

I've decided to keep a blog to document my artwork.  I'm currently working on my Master's degree and it's forcing me (in a super productive, stellar way) to create.  So I promise to continuously post my current, in-progress, unfinished, sometimes finished and always original artwork.  I just ask that you give me some feedback.  Tell me you love it, hate it,  or want to marry it, but if I'm in need of a new direction speak your mind.

I'm obsessed with peacocks.  They're turning up in everything I create.  I recently got a peacock feather tattoo on my back; it's beautiful.  This is a print from a single cut linoleum.  I'm really happy with the way it turned out.  It's bold and graphic and I love searching for the peacock's head amongst all the eyes on the feathers.

The next 7 photos are earrings I made to sell at an art teacher conference I'm attending in the Lake of the Ozarks this weekend.  There's a cool session called Bizarre Bazaar, where any of the art teachers can sell or trade artwork they have created.  Cross your fingers and hope that someone buys these.

I love recycling and I'm trying to use recycled goods in my artwork.  These are really simple, recycled coffee sleeves turned into notebooks.

So what do you think?
