Be sure and join me tonight at The Artistic Biker Live! from 7-9p US Central. Â Tonight, I will discuss some heavy gloss layering techniques such as the 2-part epoxy that Wyane uses in her art. Â Wyane also produces a number of videos on her YouTube Channel demonstrating her techniques. Â While an inch of 2-part epoxy might be a bit tough in a journal, I’ve been playing with some different things to give a similar effect.
Also tonight, a further update on The Big Sucking T-shirt Machine!
Last week I posted about how I needed to get up during the wee hours of the morning in order to get some things accomplished before leaving for work. Â I have decided that this is not what the Universe wants. Â The Universe seems much happier when I hit the snooze button.
Check out the latest pic from The Big Sucking T-shirt Machine project! Â When using spray foam, it’s important to remember to stop filling in time. Â Spray foam is COOL!
There have been a lot of *positive forces in my life of late. Â There have been some interesting opportunities arise at my day job which involve both more responsibility and more pay. Â It hasn’t happened yet, but I believe it’s only a matter of time. Â Just when I started thinking I should find a way to get some T-shirts printed, my mom up and buys a screen printing company to go with her embroidery business. Â Seemingly out of the blue, I’ve been invited to produce some online workshops, aside from the ones already on hold over at artjournaling.ning.com (which, now that the baby is sleeping and it’s getting warmer weather I can revisit). Â And I’ve had two interviews as a “local artist”. Â This all seems very strange to me. Â Then I became obsessed with this idea for a dragonfly. Â So far, I’ve done a thumbnail of him, and a larger journal entry. Â I am working out the details and kinks to paint it poster sized. Â But I have truly been obsessed with him. Â When I painted the journal entry on the U-stream broadcast (Every Thursday night from 7p-9p c), I was informed by the wise Poetic Dreams that dragonflies are the Native American Totem for change. Â I did not know that.
You can see the speed painting at The YouTube or watch it on the embedded player below. Â Don’t forget to share it with others on Facebook, Twitter, etc.
*Of course I believe that positive forces dominate the universe and that if you are having hard times they are the direct result of your actions and decisions shielding you from these blessings. Â But that’s a WHOLE different Oprah.
This little dragonfly was on my mind all day and I had to try it out last night! It is the inspiration for the first large painting I am doing in a LONG time. I want to refine the technique just a little though, so that is what we will be doing tonight on The Artistic Biker Live! http://ustream.tv/channel/the-artistic-biker   Also, my beautiful, young bride will be joining me in the arting and Girl2 and Boy2 are always good for a cheap camera shot.  :)
The show is live tonight, Thursday May 6th, from 7p-9p c at The Artistic Biker Live! http://ustream.tv/channel/the-artistic-biker
Posted by mobile phone: My day job has become a whirlwind of activity lately. While that’s outstanding for our company and its employees, it severely cuts into studio time. Changes in my schedule now requiring me getting up at 4 a.m. so that I may accomplish some of my goals before leaving for work at 6.
To date, I’ve not made it out of bed before 6, but know that the plan is in place. ;)
