Darla Dear on an iPhone

Okay guys, this has been the highlight of my day - scratch that - of my WEEK even. There's this site, Society6, where artists can post and sell their artwork. I already sell prints through Etsy, but what makes Society6 unique is that they produce iPhone cases with my photography on them! (not to mention they handle all the printing, packaging, and shipping, which is pretty cool)

This image is my favorite so far! It ended up fitting perfectly after I flipped it, and I'm super proud of it!



Feel free to check out my Society6 shop, and pin something if you like it! I don't invest much time into it, as it pretty much runs itself, but if you're in the market for an iPhone case... *wink, wink* There are also loose prints and framed prints of some of my work :)

PS: Happy First Day of March!

Treasury - Pattern, Shape, and Color

In class, we've been studying Henri Matisse and Fauvism of the very early 20th Century. The characteristics of their paintings are: the love of surface patterning using flat shapes, and the unashamed use of pure, bright color (perhaps my next art history post will be about these rad dudes). I was inspired by this mini art movement, but replaced their super-saturated color palettes for a more refined and soothing one.

I had to research color names, and these are the three I came up with to describe this Treasury: light azure, pale peach, and camel. It's fun to search color terms in Google images and see what pops up... or maybe that's just a weird quirk of mine!
