March 6th-April Gallery Sale

FILED IN Art | Updates No Comments

My art will be available for sale in the Arts Council Gallery Shop in early March. My own pieces are going to the gallery on the 6th but it will probably be a day or two before everything is up. Al Holen and Daniel Roth are also featured. Our art will be there for 2 months.

Click on the “Arts Council” link above to see the location on Google Maps. Their address/contact information is as follows:

318 Main Street
Suite 101
Evansville, IN 47708
812.422.2111
info@artswin.org

Also, The Seashore has been added to the Gallery and the Arts Council page should be updated with my information in their Member Directory (under Visual Artists) shortly. I’ll post my link when that happens.

Finally, I’ve added an FAQ for anyone interested.

new print: The Seashore

Something else cute and simple, I hope you enjoy it. Clicking the image will currently take you to the print since I don’t have it in the portfolio just yet. I hope to put this along with A Message in the main street gallery along with some other pieces. I’ll have a complete list once all are framed. All pieces I put in the gallery will be matted and framed with my actual real-life signature as opposed to the digital signature found on all of my online-sale prints.

EVILLECON 2012 ANNOUNCEMENT

FILED IN Art | Updates No Comments

Sandpaperdaisy Art will officially be selling prints, buttons and keychains once again at Evillecon! Evillecon 2012 is in Evansville, IN and will be from Friday, March 30th through Sunday, April 1rst. My art will be at the D20 Girls Project table in the artist’s alley! I am incredibly happy to have this opportunity. Without the help of the wonderful Evillecon staff and the fabulous D20 Girls, I would have had to forgo the convention this year, so this comes as a very pleasant surprise. Below are the mascots I created for this year’s Evillecon. The dragon-themed costumes and masks are in celebration of 2012, the Year of the Dragon.

These have both been added to the gallery. Keep your eyes peeled for another art update Monday if all goes well. Incidentally, the gallery has also been updated with a downloadable portfolio, T&C, and CV for client use. I’ve also added a Freelance page to distinguish between business projects and private commissions.

D20 Girls Project

FILED IN Updates No Comments

I’ve just signed up as an Artist/Illustrator with the D20 Girls Project. I hope to work on an exciting project with them in the summer, and in the meantime they’ve been very generous in offering me plenty of great opportunities to display and sell my art at conventions I wouldn’t normally be able to attend, as well letting me set up an online store. I was pretty impressed.

If you’re curious about the company, I was originally interested enough to approach them because of their business premise. The site states that the business is “specifically geared towards promoting a female spirit in the gaming industry.” In a nutshell, this means that they offer anime/gaming convention services with the unique angle of employing actual female gamers and fans as opposed to “booth babes” who know nothing or care nothing about the actual series and games they are promoting. The D20 Girls, by contrast, are sincere enthusiasts and since they come in all sizes and backgrounds, they represent actual women far more accurately. According to their site, they are in essence the anti-booth babe: “The D20 Girls Project aims to break down modeling stereotypes; we are not Barbieā„¢ dolls.”

I felt like I would enjoy doing work for the company for these reasons, so don’t be surprised if you see assignments for them popping up in my art updates now and then. Here’s my profile on the site: http://ww4.d20girls.com/profile/sandpaperdaisy

I’ve also updated the Links page with a link to the D20 Girls main page.
