I'M A SCANOGRAPHER!

These are just some self portraits I took with my EPSON Artisan 810 all-in-one art printer. It's been super fun playing around with it. I got it on sale for around $180 from lik $300 I think and I'm pretty pleased. I also started a new blog because of it! But I'll make a post about that later. Anyways, I think its fun to explore new ways you normally art. Go out and find some conventional things and see what you can come up with. Happy scanning!

TAT PIC!

Kinda crappy + it's still healing.

Also, I chickened out before we could get to the ribs.. so there is still more work to be done.

But I love it :] The pictures look kind of weird... but it's positioned on the right side of my abdomen. It's cuneiform and it says:

"Now that I have seen, I am responsible. Faith without deeds is dead."

Yay!

TATTOOS!

Gosh since I was in Jr. High I have wanted one! And this week.. my waiting will finally pay off! I don't have a really good picture to post on here of what I'm getting, but I am soooooo stoaked!! Yay! I think I'll just post cool ones I found from We Heart It.

I think these are tights, but they would make some pretty sweet tats. Especially paired with some Louboutins like those hah.

I have always loved anything to do with bones! This one is great!

I also really love deer, ahh it looks neat!

Yay bird!

This one is tacky and cheesy, but I must admit.. I kind of love it lol.

Anyways, I'll post pics of mine when it is complete :] Eeeeek!

PEN/INK REVIVAL

So, I think I've re-initiated my love for creating pen/ink drawings. I went to Texas Art the other day and probably spent more than I should have. However, quallity pens, sketchbooks, and ink do not come cheap. With that said, this is a piece I just started..
The image isn't that great because I took it with my phone. It still needs some work, but I think I might like it by the time I'm done haha. It is quite an arduous process, and the piece is larger than the scale I normally work at. I'm considering opening an art shop on etsy, I have another that I wanted to sell knits on, but during school I just don't have time for it. I just want to find a good local place around here that makes art quallity prints. I have everything for shipping, a paypal account, and I'm not afraid to attack the market, it really just barrels downt to time and resources. It would be nice to make a few $$ given the unexpected bills lately. We'll see what happens. I do have two shop fronts already on etsy, AIN'T and CITIES, and I sold one solitary item on the Cities acount haha. The other problem that I have is that I'd love to be an art rennassance woman. I love doing everything from taking pictures, to drawing, to making jewelry, to knitting, and so on. This is definitly a hindrance when it comes to developing. I'm thankful that I have the access and slight ability for all, but its difficult just to stick to one thing. I wish I had time and space for all haha. I wish I could find a darkroom in the area too so that I could finish out all my film. I miss processing. Anyways, that's enough whining for now. I have a TON of Geology homework :[
