So for many years now, or since 2008 or so, I've become bolder with my artwork and ventured into the area of art sales on Etsy, plus rare and occasional craft fairs and conventions around town. This year, 2018, I've decided to take things more seriously and focus more effort into my artistic endeavours, which is often difficult for me as someone who is in no way neurotypical, or able-bodied, or healthy. None of those things can be said for me, but what can be said is that I am always trying to improve. I will never claim to be the best at anything, nor am I trying to be. I think people have bigger expectations for me than I do for myself, but I will keep striving to do better...or at least not disappoint people. I paint and draw digitally, traditionally, and use many different mediums that I mix freely. I know the rules and I break them because I feel like it. I have a degree in Science in Theater Arts, but here I am doing photography and art for a living. I had my own studio at the house, but the back room needs to be ripped out and renovated due to a roof leak so here we are in the digital realm, lol. :)
This blog is intended to follow my activity as a transient artist, attempting to help fill the void where a 9-5 job might be for someone who is the opposite of me and blessed with good health. I intend to share some works in progress, con reviews, upcoming events, and other such things as I develop my mini-business and my art styles. I intend to keep my art and event photography separate entities, as much as possible.
At any rate, thanks for checking out my blog and I hope to be of some use or mild entertainment.
Flame on,
Ash
