I'm an Artist! WEEEE
I recently started playing around with oil pastels in order to finish a painting I'd been working on for my mom for damn near almost a year. I also made a painting for my dad. After getting used to the medium again I pretty much fell in love the effects I was able to achieve by blending the pastels with my fingers. Since then I've started making paintings of Video Game characters and putting them up in the Game store that Jen works in just to see if they got any attention. Yesterday they had a Christmas sale. I was really surprised how much I overheard people talking about them. I was even more surprised when one in particular started getting quite a bit of buzz. After being bought by a friend of Brian's many people started asking if there would be more.
Needless to say I'm pretty damn excited. I can't wait to see where all of this goes. I'd love to just keep making these fun paintings and selling them. I never really thought I'd be comfortable with the idea of selling off original art pieces like this. But having crossed that bridge now, I think I'm more flattered with the idea that people like something I've made enough to hang it in their home. :-D
