Finally got all my designs on every store I have joined so people can find the best price.
Peep your choices here: https://savethis.space/pages/store
Now I can work on the big list of new #art designs I want to add!
Hey #MastoArt friends, I have heard good things about Jessica Abel's book Growing Gills. It's free for a limited time! I am going to grab it and I thought I would pass the info along.
The importance of the arts is spelled out here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7xXDU9JLlvM
If you are going to self-quarantine, you should have some art to look at. Come to the show!
March 20, 7pm at The Works.

Bah. I knew mounting this piece would be a challenge and I really spent my time to get everything even and lined up. However, panic set in. So I have some of the medium I was using to glue it down on the piece and a wrinkle. 😰
Any ideas? I suppose I could do a white acrylic around the lakes and MI? Meh.
A reminder to my Edmonton peeps here. I am doing my first art show as part of a collective at The Works on March 20!
Live music, a dancer, drinks, and 13 artists. Come check it out. The tickets are here and support a good cause-- https://www.eventbrite.ca/e/cal-presents-the-color-of-pomegranates-tickets-91384542627?aff=efbeventtix

So this painting has been frustrating size wise. I found a block of birch I could mount it to, but I almost feel that it cuts too much of the painting away. So I mocked up a quick and dirty floating frame as well. 
Thoughts?
If you're around Edmonton this March you can come see my first ever attempt at an art show.
There are 13 artists so you may find something you like. There's live music and drinks. #yeg #mastoart #creativetoots
Brain is mush after watching videos on ways to mount watercolor works.
How do we feel about unpainted paper in #watercolor paintings?
I know some painters dislike unpainted canvas in a final painting. Just curious if that goes for watercolor as well? And if there are any solutions when you specifically wanted the paper's color there?
Thoughts on my artist bio would be greatly appreciated. Have a look:

I'm so insecure about doing this show. Any comments would be welcome.
Any suggestions on mounting watercolor on paper to do a gallery show?
I am a total noob.
Trying to add my current #glitchart and images to a couple of other print on demand sites so people have options, but it is taking some time. I really wish I was spending this time working on the ideas I have for new designs! 🤔
#glitch out and be positive as the sale is extended for just today!

Yo! I want to get to know more of you on

What's your handle?
My #mastodog #mastoart #creativetoots #glitchart and #watercolor can be found at @sikkdays if you are interested.
I haven't been posting a lot of #mastoart lately because I have been doing some secretive #watercolor work. I am making a cookbook to give as gifts to people. I am sort of strapped for cash thanks to my #MentalHealth and student loans.
When the cookbook is done, maybe I will drop the pages in my NextCloud and share the link for those of you interested. Maybe I'll print one and send it to you if you're really interested. After all, paper is inexpensive to post.
Catching up with the #DailySketchChallenge with oil pastels and pens.
I have never liked using pencils daily, but in art I found I liked them for adding value. So 2 years ago I challenged myself on inktober not to use pencil, to break things down simpler. My last couple pencil drawings in 4-5 min have been terrible. I guess I really did learn to use pens.

I often feed my shame demon by thinking what a pervy, toxic man boy I was in my youth. Apparently, objectifying women through my youth doesn't help my draw female faces. I am terrible at this. #DailySketchChallenge #30FacesChallenge #mastoart #creativetoots
