An Updated Introduction
Figured it was high time I updated my intro post given I've actually accomplished my goal of Being A Vendor since I established this lil art-centric Tumblr.
So welcome to my portfolioblr! This is where I share both finished images and work-in-progress shots of my art. I'm still a pretty small fish artist all things considered - I've vended at GeekCraft Expo twice, 2D Con once, and a handful of little pop up events. I still do not have an online storefront and am I sure if that is in the cards.
Most of these images represent the things that helped me survive. Between major life events and day to day stress, I feel I should pay homage to the things that helped to quell the ever-present anxiety and dread over the current state of the world. These things may not be popular currently, but they have a special place with me and I hope with others.
I’m a printmaker by trade, focusing on linocuts - a type of relief printmaking using carved linoleum (think rubber stamp but bigger). The linocuts I plan on selling are all hand-carved and printed, then hand colored with Copics. I’ll be getting prints made of the colored version for sale, as well as selling limited runs of the hand-pulled black and whites. I’ve also been exploring making charms using polystyrene (shrink plastic).
Appreciate you stopping by and hope you see something you like!
