It's a New Day
We've had a lot of rain here in Northern California lately, and any watercolor artist would be nuts to be transporting his or her art in this type of weather. Of course this means I will be doing exactly that Monday morning, as I'll be hanging some 10 originals in a local bank. At the moment, 3 of the pieces are already up and they look very good on the big, creamy off-white walls. Since I only have the month of February to showcase the art, by Monday, Feb 4th, I reallly have to get those babies up - whether it's raining, snowing, or we have an earthquake. I'll wrap them up like precioius babies and get them there, as I am determined.
The most inspired art I am creating these days is based on the poetry of my friend, and we both feel this is real special art that's coming out of her writing from years ago. The poems are full of imagery, emotion, quest, and self-awareness and I am honored to be illustrating them. Mixing word, image, and color has always been a major interest of mine, since I was given all those old comic books in 1960, and this work is bringing many of my best qualities as an artist to the fore. It's exciting to see them develop. As of this writing, we have 16 pages done, and the plan is to print them up in comic book format.
On the marketing front, I'll be showing my commercial art to an ad agency in Sausalito Monday morning, and I have many packages going out. One is to the CEO of "Target" who, I read, is quite interested in art, and lavishing money on it. He's my kind of guy.
