Thanks SavannahLioness! I really appreciate it!...btw I gave you a shout-out on my most recent vid...I mean it's from a red bus...which I'm not sure is cool, but yeah I'll stop rambling now ;)
Thanks jagarujimbo! Really nice of you to say. I totally agree with you....I'm a perfectionist to the point of insanity, but I'm sure the buyer probably would've liked it 3 anxiety attacks back...LOL!
Hi! I really liked your painting. I love mixed media items. I do some of that myself, but mostly along the lines of sculpting. That sounds so formal. It's really not. LOL Anyway, great job!
Thanks Shrimp91! Yeah it's going in their front room or living room as we call it in the States. It'll be hung over their 2 seater or loveseat as we call it...yeah well you know...lol!
Great piece of art there. I would have loved to see some shots of the actual room...and how your work looked in context. I wonder if your customer cut from the couch in order to get the couch samples? Wow....I am glad to have subscribed to all these great videos of yours. Lol.
Yeah Mellomel, I think I'm gonna have to see if I can get some pics of it in the house :). LOL! nah she had extra apholstery samples. Thanx for subscribing! :D
Hey pixelchick, I like your work... and I like how you riped someones house apart and cut up their couch and stuff to make it LOL nah j/k It's classy and clean I like it.. My sisters do the same kind of paintings/pictures. I'll try and get photos :)
Aw shucks Michele! No need to be in awe...you saw how frustrated I was when it wouldn't dry. It's like my life's at a stand-still and I can't move on to other things. Thanks girl!
hehe, u look tired from that mountain trip thingy. anyways i like that painting. for the other video, it looked like u drew the leaves. haha, pretty cool how u used like a couch and wallpaper material for leaves. very nice
Thanks jaromo7! Yeah..I was building up the suspense see...ha yeah right;) I'm kidding, but I appreciate the comments about the colors and composition.
That's great ! I love all the textures that you used. I can't wait for more video blogs from you. =D You know, I was just thinking that your computer chair looks really comfy.
Thank you Kohno! I'm glad you liked the texture. I'm a very tactile person so I love texture. Yeah I need to buckle down and just throw a blog on here...not that I haven't tried doin' any...I just feel like I ramble and they get boring...dunno. I'm still waiting for the next episode of 'The Kori & Steph Show'. Yeah the chair is comfy, but I've been wearing it out sitting in it hours on end.:)
Yup if we could all survive doing what we're pasionate :)..er or passionate about, that would be great. I wish I could say painting is how I get by, but unfortunately I too must work for 'THE MAN'! :(
Nice work!Lets see you get paid for doing something that you are pasionate about,love to do and are very good at.Sounds like a dream job to me.some people dread getting up every morning to go to jobs they hate.Keep it up the painting looks awesome.
That really sweet. I like the offset of the tree; and I'm sure the fabric really works well in the room. If you can get a picture of the painting in her house that would be awesome.
I made a new series of works that were more decorative - metal and wood collage wall pieces - because my other work was getting political and edgy I guess. I called it my "non-threatening" work. ha. I think will all the bad news these days, people just want something nice on the wall that matches the couch. Nothing wrong with that. I've sold quite a few.
Yup! I agree. It seems these days couch art is the way to go. Does this mean we're selling out?
Nah! I don't think so, because the buyer is entrusting us with our artistic touch to make a piece that they can proudly showcase in their homes. Which is cool. Ya can't beat personalized, one-of-a-kind art!
No, it's not selling out. It's getting paid for what you do. I thought it was kind of fun, too, to make art for a specific person and place. I would do it all the time as long as the $$ was there. (OMG, I'm a closet capitalist). Make money! Sell art...otherwise you get buried in your own work.
LOL Steve! So true! Hey we all have to survive right? But if we can leave some neat creations behind, for people to enjoy and cherish, that's pretty darn cool.
You see, the brown color leaves need to work together with the white color leaves to make a better harmoney. Oh wait! I think I used those words before on another video!
Actually & seriously, I congratulate you on that painting being placed on someone else's wall. That person finds your artwork valuable. And so do we... from your video's to your arwork. That's why we come back for more!
I found it funny that you totally zoned out for a minute there... which explains why there are no green leaves since the green fumes can do things like that to a person when inhaled. (I never inhaled green in my life)
WOW does this girls talent ever stop. from action to painting i dare to think what could be next :) i wish i could paint like that, i cant draw for nuts, anything thing to use Vs the f.b.i
I'm actually very relived at what you did with the painting.I had concerns that you were going to glue little plastic easter eggs,with little mardi gras,king cake babys inside.This is much better.P.S if ya'll don't know what a king cake baby is try googleing,it is somewhat interesting.
It's a very nice piece, indeed! Because the paint is so thick and sculpted, the three-dimensionality of the leaves works. The overall simplicity and the off-center design hints at large spaces and tugs at the imagination. I like!
I think thats kinda neat that you used different materials for the leaves like that. I think it look really great although i wonder why not every leaf got stuff on it? I just kinda think the other leaves could of used materal as well. Overall it turned out great tho. Losta hard work I can tell. I'd charge premium for it.
Hey tetsuorocks! Funny my sister said the same thing when she saw it. I had considered it, but it looked too cluttered which I wanted to avoid. Yeah it was time consuming, but I'm glad you liked it.
I love it! I would have bought it if it had been for sell and what's a commissioned project. :) Great work, and it sounds like she was quite pleased with it too. Oh, and excellent planning for it, considering her decor style when designing the work. :)
Thanks so much blueathena! A commission is basically just a job, so when she commissioned me, she just hired me to do a personal piece of artwork. Thankfully she was pleased :).
wow! thats a really nice painting!!!
