Change of Plans

Since I find it annoying and time-consuming trying to upload photos and make sure the text doesn't look funky here on Blogger, this will be the final post to my Arts blog.

I have an art shop set up on Etsy.com. It's new, so there's not much to begin with, but I'll be adding more pieces as I have time. http://www.artymesia.etsy.com

Albums are at the right, slideshow at upper right.

All originals and photographs are for sale. Please e-mail blanc.mange@hotmail.com if interested.

Happy blogging everyone! :D

Some Old Stuff

Here are some pop art pieces I've done over the years, mostly back in my high school days when I first painted in this style. It's a very fun, simple way to paint, especially when the paint you're working with goes on the canvas opaque, which is actually my biggest problem. I've tried practically every brand of acrylic paint out there, painted dry- and wet-brush, tried gesso and no gesso, and about 80% of the time the paints are translucent. Any suggestions/help?

Anyhoo, the paintings here are: The Beatles, Al Pacino, and Darren Hayes. Not for sale since they were based directly from famous/copyrighted photos.

Note: Uploading images and trying to place them neatly in the blog space WITHOUT messing up what you've typed in the process is really annoying. Any tips on this also?
